Heat guard Dwyane Wade will try to help his team advance past the Hawks in Game 7 on Sunday, but has taken the time to step back and be grateful of where he is right now.

Wade was marred by an injury-plagued 2007-08 season, in which Miami won just 15 games.

"A lot of things happen so fast in life, you don't reflect on them, but I'm taking the time to reflect right now on what I've been through to get to this moment," Wade said Saturday. "I think of my rehab, how hard it was, and how I thought, 'Man, if I'm going to work this hard, I'm going to make someone pay.' "

When asked by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel what he meant by that, Wade simply responded with, "It's Game 7."
