Dwyane Wade: Heat Won't Need No. 1 Seed to Reach NBA Finals

Filed under: , ,

Dwyane WadeORLANDO, Fla. -- For anyone keeping track of this race, Miami guard Dwyane Wade really doesn't care about catching Boston for the best regular-season record in the Eastern Conference.

He already figures the Heat can beat the Celtics in the playoffs -- with or without the home-court advantage -- if they are healthy. He has been there. Done that.

"We're not really focused on that (best record). I've won a championship without home court (in 2006). What I really care about is us being healthy, and playing good ball at both ends of the court,'' Wade said before the Heat played the Orlando Magic Thursday night. "If we're seeded 1, 2, or 3, whatever the case, you deal with it.''

The Heat (34-14) went into Thursday night's game with the second-best record in the East, three games behind Boston (37-11) and only a half-game ahead of Chicago. The Magic and Hawks were tied for fourth.

"I just want to focus on good basketball, and let that (playoff seeding) take care of itself,'' he said. "If we're playing well, we'll be fine with wherever we land.''
