But to say the Miami Heat don't depend on Shaq or Wade (hell, even their COACH said they depend on Shaq), is just plain wrong. Sorry.

I admit I was not clear with my point. Sure, both players are the essential parts of the team, being the leaders of the team. But what I the point I tried to tell is that if they are shut down or don't hit anything, they have a good team that can do their corresponding roles. I was in a way comparing to last years Lakers, that they had a good team, but in the end, they depended on Kobe or Shaq for a W, this Miami team is not entirely like that.
Tonight, finally Haslem was not playing scared like the previous 4 games, and he did a double-double, and that was a big difference today. Wade did not played the 4th quarter and they maintained a good lead against the Pistons, and it was because of their team and good bench. I hope Wade can play for the next game so that the Finals start.
I'm looking forward for a great game 6, Pistons are tough, as well as the Heat.
I just hope I'm more clear this time.
