The last time there was genuine panic about Dwyane Wade’s playoff struggles – an embarrassing 2-for-13 clunker against the Pacers in a Game 3 loss to Indiana – he rebounded with 30 points, nine rebounds and six assists in a Game 4 victory over the Pacers.

So Wade, what’s it going to be tonight?

Here’s how badly he’s struggled recently:

* 3-for-14 on 3-pointers in the last nine games
* Under 36 percent shooting in three of the last five games
* Compared to last year’s postseason, he’s down 2 percent shooting from the field, rebounding less, and scoring less
* Oh, and he hasn’t exactly looked good attempting to defend Kevin Durant (who does?) and Russell Westbrook.

He’s only 30, but the punishment his body has taken over the years flying through the lane, combined with this being his third lengthy postseason … perhaps his best days are behind him.

I’ll go with Heat 89, Thunder 96. Part of me wants the Heat to win this one … just so the series definitely goes six or seven games.
