Dwyane Wade participated in parts of Tuesday’s shootaround, and he will make the trip to Detroit, but his status remains day-to-day.

Even without Wade in the lineup, Chris Bosh said the Heat can make progress. Specifically, reserve players who are getting more minutes with Wade on the bench can use these games as learning opportunities.

“We’re missing [Wade], but the show goes on,” Bosh said. “It’s good for guys who normally don’t get as many minutes; they get to prove what they can do. They get to get a lot of experience and down the line when we are healthy, sometimes Dwyane might get in foul trouble or LeBron [ James] might get in foul trouble, and we’re going to have to call on one of those guys to play.”

Bosh also mentioned that even when Wade feels mentally ready to return, it’s often the physical adjustments that are the most taxing.

“It’s never seamless,” Bosh said of returns like the one Wade is preparing for. “As much as you want to, when you’re injured you think you’re going to get right out there and pick right back up where you left off. It’s going to take a few games to get [Wade’s] timing back. It’s going to take a few games to get the chemistry back that we have because he’s not going to be 100 percent walking on the court. He’s going to be a little off.”

Lockout fallout

Wednesday marks the one-month mark of the lockout-shortened season, and several consequences of the compressed campaign have already come to light.

Field-goal shooting, free-throw shooting and three-point shooting in the NBA are all down at least 15 percent. Turnovers have increased by an average of .8 per game, the largest jump in 29 years.

Bosh said that in addition to the increased miscues, players have less time to learn from their mistakes.

“We have to really pay attention to film, you have to pick things up on the fly, you’re not always able to go through live situations all the time,” Bosh said. “It’s a moment where you have to use your experience as a basketball player and pick things up without actually practicing them.”

Long possessions

Milwaukee made just five three-pointers in 30 attempts Sunday, marking the worst three-point shooting night for a Heat opponent this season. But those missed threes played a role in the Bucks’ victory. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said the errant three-pointers led to long offensive rebounds and second possessions, wearing down Miami’s defense.

“With the second-chance opportunities, 17 second-chance points and so many of them after great defensive possessions, that has a tendency to collapse your spirit,” Spoelstra said.

In watching film of the game, Spoelstra said he recorded six or seven possessions where Milwaukee missed a three-point attempt, grabbed the offensive rebound and ran a new set on offense.
