MIAMI -- Only two days ago, the Miami Heat seemed relaxed and confident as they held a one-game lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
With that cushion now gone, they simply seem angry.

Shaquille O'Neal wants the ball more, repeating his refrain from last season's playoffs. Dwyane Wade is growing increasingly frustrated about tactics the Detroit Pistons use against him defensively. Pat Riley made little effort to hide his disappointment in the lack of energy and effort that doomed the Heat in Game 2.
All those tenets add another several levels of intrigue to Saturday's pivotal third game of the series, with the Heat and Pistons knotted at a game apiece.
"They feel that they're the best team," Wade said. "They feel like every time that they lose, it's because of them. ... We don't get any credit. We've got to go out and earn it. We don't deserve any, evidently, so we've got to go out and continue to earn our credit -- and that's by going out and winning this series."
THE HEAT ARE PIST ESPICALLY WADE AND THATS NOT GOOD FOR DETROIT WELL GL ON WHOEVER ANYONE PICKS.
