Dwayne Wade will wear tinted goggles for at least the next few games as the All Star shooting guard has been troubled recently by reoccurring migraines. He sat out Saturday's game against the Raptors due to the ailment. "I'm feeling better every day. That's all I can ask for," he said. Wade donned a pair of red framed goggles that the team had laying around, but after being heckled by teammates on the "drab specs", he switched to a more stylish Oakley pair.
Chris Bosh, PF, who sustained an injury on January 15, will not be playing against the Knicks tonight. That means that Lebron James may be playing some power forward, which the Knicks might take advantage of by putting Amar'e Stoudemire there and starting Ronny Turiaf at center. Although the favorites to win are still the Heat, there's something to be said about the absence of Chris Bosh. Despite hearing chants of "over-rated" the last time he played in New York, Bosh is averaging 18.6 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. The absence of such a presence could be severe for the Heat.
There are reports out that the Knicks trade rumors have been a major distraction to Wilson Chandler, as the forward does not wish to play in Denver just as much as the Nuggets have no interests in acquiring the forward. Let hope he's focused tonight as he was when he finally broke out of a slump with 25 points in Monday's victory over Washington. He admitted to feeling relief after making his first shot.
Its looking like Happy Walters will be Chandler new agent. Walters is Amar'e and Shawne Williams agents currently.

In their second meeting, the Knicks pulled close to the Heat in the second half but failed to play well in the first. However, they have demonstrated that they can certainly keep up with Miami's "Big Three."
With addition of Amar'e Stoudermire's proclamation, "Nobody's afraid of the Miami Heat," as ESPN.com reported, this should be a very interesting contest as expected.
Game starts tonight, 8 pm EST.
