While Wade sat on the sidelines, there had been chatter on the airwaves and social networks over the idea that the Heat are better without Wade.It is a notion the seven-times All Star guard Wade said was ridiculous.That’s all I’ve got to say about that, he told reporters. This is a very good team, with or without me. But better without me? I doubt that.Wade joined in some of the more light-hearted debate with fans on twitter, poking a little fun at the idea.I had nothing else to do but watch television, I watched a lot of sport and it came up every second. It’s all fun … something to laugh about and I thought I’d get in on the joke, he said.Wade says the reason the Heat have done so well without him is simply that they have a lot of other options.I have a lot of confidence in my team, we have a very deep team, we have a lot of guys on our bench that are not playing as many minutes as I am sure they would love and you look at our roster and it goes deep, he said.The ankle injury that kept Wade out was perhaps not as serious as his six-game absence suggests and head coach Erik Spoelstra said that at least part of his time on the sideline was used to get his overall physical condition to a peak.Wade said he had certainly benefitted from the break.It was, everything happens for a reason. It took a real, painful ankle injury to let me sit out, work on my body, get healthy, lose a couple of pounds and I worked hard to make sure that I came back better than I was. I wouldn’t say I am glad it happened but it was beneficial for my health and the way I feel, he said.
