Heat stars admit to minor chemistry issues

Less than a week into their second consecutive title defense, the Miami Heat are already working through some early struggles affecting their long successful union.

Having lost two of their first three games entering Sunday's matchup with the Washington Wizards, Heat stars Dwyane Wade and LeBron James admitted that some minor chemistry issues have contributed to the shaky start.

"Let me give you an example," Wade said prior to Sunday's game. "If you're in a relationship with a woman for a long time, you start getting comfortable. You stop doing the little things that you should do, that you did in the beginning. It's just like a relationship. We got a little comfortable. Now we have to get back on that edge a little bit."
