Anyone miss Goran Dragic yet?

In the last game that Dragic played, the game against Golden State in which he injured his calf, the Heat had just 10 turnovers.

In the four games since, Miami has had 23, 13, 19 and 14 -- the latest total coming in a dreadful 91-79 home loss to the Bucks, in which the perimeter players shot a combined 9-of-45.

Tyler Johnson and Josh Richardson were a combined 1-for-14, and the only basket was a Richardson slam.

Anyone miss Dragic yet?

Dwyane Wade, 1-for-6 against Milwaukee, does.

"It is tough, two of our point guards are out," Wade said, also referencing Beno Udrih, who has missed the past two games with a neck strain. "Tyler is doing the best that he can. He is not a typical point guard. It makes it a lot tougher on us because we need me to be able to score and attack at the right times. It was unfortunate that our point guards were out and we really didn't have anyone else (to) run the offense."

So when will Dragic be running it again?

I caught up with him after the game, as he prepared to leave with the team for the five-game road trip that starts in Washington on Wednesday night.

Here's the synopsis:

-- He wanted to play tonight, but was told by the Heat medical staff to be careful, because a calf injury can easily worsen and linger. It hurts him when he gets up on his toes, but he was told that pain isn't the only indicator of a problem.

-- He's frustrated because he's rarely had extended absences over the course of his career. Dragic played all 66 of the lockout-shortened season's games in 2011-12, his last season in Houston, then played 77 and 76 out of 82 in the next two seasons in Phoenix, and then played 78 of 82, split between Phoenix and Miami, last season.

-- He's especially frustrated because he felt his game was coming around, shooting 53 percent and averaging more than 15 points per game in January. "I was finally starting to get it," he said.

-- The only positive to come from this, as he sees it? His right thumb is getting some time to heal. The left wrist already has improved greatly.

-- When told that the positive is the rest of the East hasn't run away, he shook his head, arguing instead that the Heat has had a chance to create some distance" on many of the teams in the conference.

"I'm trying to stay positive," he said.

More Heat fans, at this point, should be positive that his presence matters.
