The Lakers would seem like an easy opponent to feast on in the midst of a difficult playoff push for the Miami Heat, but the turmoil they're going through makes every game a tough one. They are battling for an Eastern Conference playoff berth, and will have to do it without arguably their best player, Chris Bosh, who will miss the rest of the season with blood clots in his lungs.

"This year," guard Dwyane Wade said, "there's been no normal. Not for us." The Heat have cycled through a dozen starting lineups, and are currently still integrating a trade deadline acquisition that was briefly thought to inject them in the title chase. That came crashing down when news of Bosh's blood clots came out.

"Never seen anything like this," forward Udonis Haslem said of the constant turnover. "I doubt very many people have ever seen anything like this."

In six games with the Heat Dragic has played well, averaging 15 points, 4.7 assists and 3.2 rebounds. The numbers aren't drastically dissimilar from his production with Phoenix, where he grew unhappy playing off the ball, but his PER has jumped from 16.6 to 19.2 since the trade.

More than adjusting to playing with Dragic, Wade thinks the team needs to feel comfortable that the roster will stop undergoing sea changes, and that no more bad fortune will strike.

"You wake up and you're on eggshells," Wade said. "I think everybody is, because something might happen."
