Alonzo Mourning wants to get the Heat crowd into the game as quickly as possible. So you can pretty much expect some sort of extra-curricular activity from him.

BOB WOJNOWSKI: It's now ... or next season
"There's no pressure on us at all," Wade said, not completely convincing. "We've got a golden opportunity to win Game 6 at home. These are the conference champions. There's no pressure on us."

He actually used the "no pressure on us" line four times in a 20-second answer. Makes you wonder.
