    Trickles down from the top. Who better to learn from about quitting during tough times than Riley?

    Justice gets served in June when, despite mailing in the remainder of the season to ensure the most ping pong balls, the Heat end up 4th in the lottery.

    All they are doing now is tanking the season. Wade can still play. He's getting treatment on his knee "stim" They all get that for every booboo they get.

    As Hollinger said, this is clearly a case of

    "Wade DNP - Lottery"

    I see no point in Wade subjecting his body to more punishment for nothing anyway. He hasn't been 100% healthy all season as it is.

    Smart move by the Heat, although it has to be disappointing for their fans. I wonder if they'll even average 3000 from here on out?

    I heard Riles is going to skip a few games to scout some college players. That is outright ridiculous.

    I don't blame them for shutting Wade down. What Riles is doing is another story.

    An indication of the East... the Heat and their 11 wins are not yet eliminated from the East playoffs while Minnesota (14 w), Memphis (15 w), and Seattle (16 w) have already been eliminated from the West.

    Miami is 15 games behind the 8th spot in the East and would be 28 games behind the 8th spot in the West

    Seattle is 23 games behind the 8th spot in the West and would be 10 games behind in the East..

    He was at the Indiana vs Penn State game yesterday on ESPN

    He didn't seem stressed out at all ;)

    He probably took a look at the Heat's record and decided that he's too injured to play.

    Tmac got lambasted for it. Wonder if the same will happen to Wade.

    Well, Wade has a playoff MVP trophy, and that can color the perceptions of motives and rightousness.

    Riley is probably too injured to coach too. :mad:
