As long as he sits down and rests

Heat coach Erik Spolestra said there would be no timetable for Wade’s return. Wade, who has a sprained right ankle worked out alone moncler jackets in another part of AmericanAirlines Arena. Meanwhile, on the main practice court, Miller, who has missed everything so far recovering from a sports hernia, participated in a semi-physical three-on-three game.

Though Miller once again said “I’m 100 percent ready to play,” Spolestra wouldn’t commit to Miller playing Tuesday. Still, Miller’s far more likely to see time than Wade, who has more dents than a ’72 Pinto.

“As long as he sits down and rests,” Heat forward Chris Bosh said. “He’s been pushing it, he’s been giving it everything it has. Unfortunately, last game [Friday in Denver], he turned his ankle. But, sometimes, things happen. He probably needed to sit down and rest in the first place. It’s a blessing in disguise. We need to be cheap moncler jackets healthy when it’s time to make a run in the playoffs. Chill out right now, get better and we’ll hold it down until he can come back.”

Old habits

And to hold it down, Heat forward LeBron James said he has to step it up at both ends while his pal heals.

“Revert back to some of the ways of where I was back in Cleveland where, for the most part, I had to be the No. 1 option offensively,” James said. “Not force it, but put a little more pressure on myself to be more in tune with the offense, knowing you’ve got a high-powered offensive player and defensive player sitting out.”

James said with Wade in he doesn’t downshift, but “It’s just knowing you have more options out there and you don’t have to force as much. You don’t have to worry, ‘if I don’t go out and get my 30 a night. … then we don’t give ourselves a good chance to win.’ ”

Spolestra did say if Wade misses games, guard cheap burberry bags James Jones, who played five minutes on the three-game road trip, gets a bigger role in the rotation.

“The last three or four games, I’ve tightened the rotation to help our guys be a little more consistent,” Spolestra said.

Alas, the Heat wasn’t and the team spent the majority of Sunday’s session in video review.

“It’s a good day to catch up, but also to do a lot of teaching,” Spolestra said. “Very detail-oriented, very specific. Tomorrow, more of a training camp-type of practice.”

Asked for a main talking point of the session, Heat forward Shane Battier said, “We’re forcing a lot of turnovers, which is great. But we’re cheap moncler giving up a lot of turnovers on our offensive end. It’s too tough to win giving the good teams in this league extra opportunities.”
