There may be 10 guys on the NBA court, but sometimes it is man v. man. Wade & Arenas did battle on Wednesday night with Wade’s 40 trumping Arenas’ 32.

If there was any question as to whether Arenas has his game back, it was answered with a definite YES on Wednesday night. Arenas did battle with Dwyane Wade and their showdown was must-see-tv. But it was Dwyane Wade, who had an MVP-level season last year, who came out on top.

Expect more great match-ups like this as the NBA season wears on. If Washington is going to make any noise in the NBA, they need Agent Zero at his absolute best. Though the supporting cast of Butler, Miller, & Haywood are chipping in admirably, it is up to Gilbert to keep the ship afloat until Jamison returns.

As for the Heat, maybe no team relies more on one player than Miami relies on Wade. You could argue the same maybe of Chris Paul in New Orleans, but the fact remains that this is Wade’s team. If he plays well, Miami is good. If not, the rest of their talent couldn’t win 30 games.
