Dwyane Wade acknowledged before Wednesday's Game 1 against the Indiana Pacers that his left knee injury is more painful than it was last season. This season's injury is a bone bruise while last year's involved the cartilage, which required surgery in the offseason. "It’s unfortunate I’ve had to deal with this thing for two months now," Wade said. "When I feel great, I’m going to attack. When I don’t, I know how to be a team player and give of myself for other guys. "Even though my knee isn’t 100 percent, it ain’t gone.” Miami Herald

Haslem sure found that out in last year’s Eastern Conference semifinal against Indiana. Shortly after Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough had a flagrant foul 1 against Heat guard Dwyane Wade, Haslem plowed into Hansbrough. Haslem was assessed a flagrant foul 1. He later was suspended for Game 6, which the Heat were able to win to close out the series 4-2. “It probably would have been just a regular foul,’’ Haslem said about how his hit on Hansbrough might have been handled during the NBA’s rough-and-tumble era. “I’ve seen a lot worse …. It was just a hard play on the basketball. I still stand by the fact that I didn’t feel like I should have been suspended, and I didn’t feel like I had tried to hurt anybody. It was a hard foul.’’ FOXSports Florida

La La Anthony and Gabrielle Union hanging out in bikinis in Las Vegas? Looks like a blast. Toss in a bottle of Belvedere? Good times. Union is in Vegas to shoot Think Like a Man 2 (seriously) and La La is there to lend support by touching her butt. I assume these two would be at each other’s throats had the Knicks beat the Pacers and New York was going to play Miami in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Big Lead

Jill Martin, the MSG Network Knicks’ sideline reporter, is back in Miami. Again, she’s at the beach, wearing a bikini and a Knicks hat. The only difference this time is that the Knicks season is done and she can now hang out with Juwan Howard. Howard is relaxing after having scored 12 points in 17 minutes in the Heat’s final regular season game. He has yet to make an appearance in the playoffs. Dwyane Wade and LeBron James also enjoyed some time at the beach this weekend. The Big Lead

"I don't know what it's going to be from Day One to Day Two," Wade said. "Only thing I can do is do what I'm doing. If it gets better, I think you guys will know, and if it doesn't, I'll continue to go out there and keep doing what I can." USA Today Sports

Dwyane Wade knows he’s not 100 percent. But says he’s not going to try to “please the media’’ and do too much. "I understand that it’s not 100 percent healthy,’’ Wade said of his bad knee. “When I get better, if I get better, then I’ll do more. But right now just trying not to overdo it in trying to please the media and try to do something that my body isn’t going to totally let me do. So I’ll have to do whatever I can and hopefully have no setbacks.’’ Sulia
