you're kidding me--right? Wade hadn't hit a three-pointer ALL SEASON. Daring him to shoot from that distance was the right strategy.

By all season, you mean like 5 games right? Big deal. You don't give up wide open 3s when you're protecting a lead in the 4th. Yeah, Wade's a poor 3 point shooter, but it's not like he's never hit them before, he can make one if he's left wide open. And one thing he does tend to be is clutch. They gave up like 4 or 5 3s in the fourth, that's a killer, and giving up 3s (and missing free throws) is the only way you blow a 10 pt. lead in under 4 minutes.
