Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade will play in tonight's Game 4 of the NBA Finals, the Associated Press is reporting. After running, jumping, shooting around and the like, Wade told the AP that his left knee felt "A lot better... When I woke up this morning and got out bed I was able to walk on it... I'll be all right. Maybe early in the game I'll be a little tentative but as the game goes on I'll forget about it." Reactions?

He looked fine dominating the game in the 4th quarter last time out...including the leap and block of the Nowitzski in bound pass at the end...plus he had 13 boards...he's young...it ain't going to bother him.

Still, it'd worry me (if I were a Heat fan) when he says "Maybe early in the game I'll be a little tentative." That leads me to believe that its hurting him pretty good. Don't get me wrong -- Wade at 80% is better than a lot of guys in the league -- but if he's not playing at full capacity, Dallas could really look to take advantage.
