Side angle to the Heat/Bulls game: possible tank job?

[cleaveland]

If the Heat want a championship coach on the sideline this is their last chance to get Spoesltra out and Riley in, imho. Someone on the Miami message board on espn.com started a thread called "If miami lose sunday spo is getting fired or demoted"... we all know the NBA is where amazing happens.

[cleaveland]

Note: I don't actually believe this theory too much, I think there's like a 1% chance this could happen.

I dont think we see Riley until next season, thats if the heat dont win it all

[thebestthereis]

riley is there, just because he isn't on the bench doesn't mean he isn't involved in a huge way. although if he does jump one row and draw up the plays the heat will never lose again, lechoke will never win with riley on the bench or in his jock. bosh is just as soft.

I dont think Ive ever seen a coach fired when hes 43-19.

That is the first thing that came to my mind when reading this thread. That would be unbelievable.

[rem sleep]

If he gets fired it will be after a early playoff exit. No way he gets fired this close to the playoffs.

[demens]

I really think people will be disappointed if Riley comes back. Not to take anything away from him, but the guy hasn't coached in a long time and he is old as hell. Who's to say he still got it or that those 3 douchebags will respond to him like Wade and Shaq did. I'm sure Lebron never had a coach yell at him in his life, might be too much to handle for his prima donna character.

i think miami going to kill bulls in this game, to much on the line for the heat

[panik]

Next season maybe. Not this year.

Bulls don't get "killed" when they are at full strength. They may lose, but are consistently competitive and don't quit.

[reppin_the_847]

Agreed. At least I hope so. Chose Bulls as my Streak Survivor pick. I could see this game coming down to the wire. Also could look a lot like last Sunday's Knicks game @ Miami possibly.

I'm on the Heat. Gotta have this one.

The total has gone OVER in 17 of Miami's last 25 games when playing at home against Chicago.

I think this game is a shootout.
