The Heat have to be considered one of the surprise teams in the league to date and all of the credit really has to go to Dwyane Wade. Heading into the week Wade was the league's leading scorer to go with leading the Heat in assists and steals.

In Sunday's win over the Thunder Wade had 32 points, 10 assists and three blocks as the Heat finished with a 4-3 record on its longest road trip of the season.

Now Wade and the Heat have to take on one of the top defenses in the NBA. Only the Cavs allow fewer points than the Celtics, while Miami is in the bottom half of the league in scoring. Hard to imagine the Celtics letting Wade beat them all on his own.
