[Maximus]

Having knee and hip surgery...may not return this season. Ronny Rothstein taking over.

Hopefully this is their downfall this season. No Riles + No Shaq + banged up Wade = one less team in the East to worry about

I think the championship dance set him back a few years..

I wouldn't worry about them even if they had shaq and wade and riles...

The whole team is ancient and shaq is not quite the shaq we are used to...and wade, wow don't get me started on this touch foul wuss.

Ancient? They may be getting older, but they are only 1 year older and won the Championship last year. Wade a wuss? Get out of here, he is far from it.

7 months older

Yes but we all agree on here lebron is tired from the post season last year and Miami went deaper than us, and all of that extra in the post-season I garuntee had an affect on there bodies....

And yes James d-wade is a great player, my 2nd fav. but I guess I am just sick of him getting all of these touch fouls and then LeBron has been getting hammered lately and no call...

In the for now Posey and Walker are also officially benched. The Heat will suck for a while, but I expect them to have all of the cylinders back come May...

LeBron gets plenty of foul calls that go his way...

Lebron ACTS like a much bigger wuss in my mind. Every other game he goes down like he's been hit by a grenade. Remember the game where he laid motionless for like 5 minutes and the replay showed he was barely even touched. He claimed he didn't remember anything(sigh). He constantly gives Cleveland fans heartattacks acting like he just broke an ankle only to return full strength 2 minutes later. I know he loves the drama but give it up already. Pop back up like it didn't even bother ya for chrissake. Windhorst called him on it in one of his blogs which I applauded.
...and Lebron bitches about calls way more than Wade imo.

It's embarrassing when you Wade go neck first into the Spanish Announcing crew to get up 30 seconds later and LeBron gets thrown down lightly by whats his nuts the other night and covered his face like he had just been pepper sprayed and mauled by the dogs..

I don't know... Shaq will weigh about 370 by then so I don't think he'll be much help.

Pat Riley cuts and runs!

Stan Van Gundy started out 11-10 last season before Riley convinced him he needed more time with the family. Shaq missed all but 2 games.

Pat Riley has started out 13-18 this year. Wade has been out all or most of 5 games. Shaq has missed all but 4 games.

Let's take away 5 losses from Riley for the games Wade missed and subtract the games Shaq was involved in.

That leaves Stan at 10-9, and Riley at 11-13.

Can Riley fire himself?

Oh wait... no need.

He's decided to run off and have knee surgery after suspending Walker and Posey for not meeting a goal of reaching 8% body fat. What the heck?

Way to cut and run Pat.

Didn't i already post this?

Yeah I heard about this yesterday, some reporter from the Chicago tribune broke it and he said Oil Slick was taking a leave of absence because the team won't play his kind of defense or listen to him.
