Miami Heat Shooting Guard Dwyane Wade Wants More Touches in Game 7

Dwyane Wade said he needs more touches on the ball to find his rhythm and start producing big numbers again for the Miami Heat, who are facing a do-or-die match against the Indiana Pacers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Monday at American Airline Arena.

Struggling with his shots throughout the series, Wade voiced out his frustration during Saturday's post-game press conference following their 91-77 loss to the Indiana Pacers in Game 6.

"We've got to do a good job of making sure me and Chris have our opportunities to succeed throughout the game," Wade told reporters, according to ESPN. "That's something we're going to have to look at as a team."

Wade, who scored 10 points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field on Saturday, took a total of 19 shots in the last two games. Bosh averaged 6.3 points on just seven shots over the last three games for the Heat.

"We've got guys individually who want to play better," Wade told ESPN. "But we've got to try to help each other out in this locker room and not leave it up to the individual to self-will it."

On the other hand, LeBron James's shooting efficiently drastically changed over the course of the series. After producing 28 points on 19.8 shots in the first four games of the series, James went on an attack mode in the last two games of the series as he averaged 29.5 points on 24 shots.

The four-time NBA MVP insisted he needs to become more aggressive on the offensive end to keep the Heat afloat, knowing that Wade and Bosh were both struggling on the floor.

"I mean, we can state the obvious; they're both struggling," James said of Wade and Bosh. "When you're struggling, the best thing to get is a layup or a dunk. [Wade] missed a couple of them ... Chris is struggling with his shot and him hurting his ankle didn't help."

TNT Basketball analyst Reggie Miller said the Heat play in Game 5 and 6 remembers him of the time James assuming majority of the workload during his time with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"We're watching the Miami Cavaliers right now, playing this series," Miller said shortly after halftime, with the Heat trailing the Pacers 44-42 in Game 6.

With Bosh and Wade not dominant anymore, speculations are already buzzing about James bolting out for another title contender in the summer of 2014.

But for now, the Heat needs to regroup in the next 48 hours as they host the Pacers in the winner-take-all ballgame on Monday.
