Lakers at home, Nuggets at home, Bulls on the road.
Those are Miami's last three games before the All-Star break … and the post-Shaq Heat have to win them all for Dwyane Wade to dodge a slice of history he surely doesn't want.
Even going 2-1 in what will likely be Shawn Marion's first three games with the Heat would send Wade to New Orleans with the lowest winning percentage ever for an All-Star Game starter, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Thanks to its unfathomably unsuccessful run of 21 losses in the past 22 games, Miami takes a sub-Mendoza Line winning percentage of .188 into Sunday's ABC matchup with the Lakers. As the chart below indicates, no All-Star starter has ever been on a team that couldn't win 20 percent of its games.
