<p>NBA side Miami Heat who were once reeling under pressure of missing their top player and head coach seems to have now turned the heat on the opposition. The return of Dwayne Wade and his rich vein of form has meant that Miami has now won four games on the trot and are more and more looking like the reigning NBA champions.</p>
<p>Wade scored 32 points and Jason Williams played his part with another twenty as the Heats made light work of the Jazz from Utah. They beat Utah 119-110.Wade was inspirational in his performance as he garnered 10 assists and a season high 6 steals. His performance has become even more significant as Shaq is still on the sidelines and in his absence Wade is the key for the Miami lads.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, Dirk Nowitzki inspired Dallas to a 97-96 win in thrilling content against the Raptors. Dallas were all but out when the German superstar helped close in on a 15 point deficit and win with one sec left. Though Toronto had the chance to take the game with the last shot but it wasn’t to be as Anthony Parkers shot – more desperate than otherwise fell short.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; float: right" title="shaquille_o_neal.jpg" id="image65" alt="shaquille_o_neal.jpg" src="http://www.sportomania.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/shaquille_o_neal.jpg" />There was been no end to the woes off the Heat as they continue to struggle in the absence of star centre Shaquielle O’Neal. Miami who have fared rather poorly in the absence of Shaq should be boosted by the fact that the former Lakers player is making a ahead of scheduled recovery. In all possibilities he should be fit and raring to go against his former mates on the in about tem days time.</p>
<p>O’Neal had hurt his knee on the 2nd of November last year and took another severe blow on the same knee ten days later to end up on the surgeons table. The star is making a fast recovery but says that he doesn’t really feel the extra pressure to comeback in time for what is billed as a hate-contest given the sour relationship he has had with Lakers coach Phil Jackson.</p>
<p>Since signing on the dotted line with Miami Shaq has inspired them to their maiden NBA title last year and the heats would look for a similar performance from him to turn around the form and fortunes of the club this season. The club as I said has been struggling and there are problems aplenty for them both on and off the court.</p>

<p>It was another Kobe Bryant Special as LA Lakers registered a huge 132-128 win over Sacramento Kings in the NBA Thursday night game in Sacramento. The Lakers started pretty well but blew up a huge 21 point lead to be staring down the barrel with 4 seconds left in the fourth quarter. But it took a super gamble from star player Kobe Bryant to level the game with 0.1 sec left and then inspire them to a overtime win.</p>
<p>Lakers fortunes seemed to be in the opposite direction of Kobe who overcame the first 16 minutes of draught to score 42 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists. This was Kobe’s sixth forty plus score of the season as he looks in ominous form heading towards the all-star night.</p>
<p>In what was expected to be a Kobe show for his magical play in the dying moments of the fourth quarter, Kobe showed that he had more than exceptional basketball skills to pull off a tie in regular time and push the dame into OT. With 4 seconds left everyone expected to take the last throw, even his rivals were confident of that but Kobe showed exceptional presence of mind and trust in his mate Smush Parker to feed him the final ball who scored and tied the game. What happened in OT remains a history and remains left is the magic of Kobe Bryant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jason Kidd is sure a prolific basketball star but the other night he let his tongue wag more than his slams and blocks and that cost him nothing less than $20,000. Vice President of NBA operations handed Kidd the fine after the star decided to let his mind out at the referee. Jason would was visibly furious at match official Tom Washington’s line call in the dying moments of their game against the Detroit Pistons.</p>
<p><img alt="jason_kidd.jpg" id="image13" src="http://www.sportomania.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/jason_kidd.jpg" /></p>
<p>New Jesrey’s Vince Carter collided with Pistons Rasheed Wallace and saw his shot spiral over the basket. The shot could have put the game in Jersey’s kitty but much to Kidd and Nets coach Lawrence Frank no call meant that the Pistons walked out with the honors as they won 92-91. But in case for Kidd to have said that the ref Tom ‘messed up’ the game for them seemed only too Kiddish…</p>

<p>They say he’s the answer and why not when he’s been the engine of all success Philadelphia 76ers have seen and experienced in the past few seasons. His phenomenal and passionate run ins have made the impossible possible for the 76ers but will the same magic work for the Nuggets. That’s the big question that Allen ‘the answer’ Iverson would seek to answer as the season rolls on in full steam.</p>
<p>If his multi-million pay cheque can scare the weak hearted so can his unbelievable bag of tricks with that basketball in his hand. The screeching sneakers across the ply of the basketball courts in America is a resounding testimony of the man who’s held his own in the galaxy of NBA star. So even as the Denver lads still figure out how this would effect the Allen-‘Melo combination, one things for sure the Nuggets would find a few more bottoms on the seats in the arena and a lot more passion on the court which is almost infections along with Iverson. So stand back and watch out cos The Answer is here…</p>
