So, is Wade still this 'tough guy' that everyone used to claim?

Wade is a great player but now a pretty boy, not even close to a tough guy player. He could not shine Williams shoes on utah.

Would love to see the ping pong balls not go Miami's way. I hope they end up with the 10th pick instead of the 1st for this blatant attempt at tanking.

i think it is disturbing some of the things Reilly is pulling. First he wants to scout games. Isn't this what scouts are for? If he wants to scout so bad why don't he coach his game and then watch a few games on tape? He has been hinting at the notion of sitting Wade. How is it the Celtics were being accused of tanking last year but Reilly gets a free pass? How would you like to be a season ticket holder while he is pulling these type of stunts? In the long run what he is doing is the smart move but why is he allowed to pull this crap and others are not? It is like he has different rules then the other coaches. Not sure what is wrong with Wade because i haven't watch anything today but those are my takes on this situation from what I know. I guess being a part owner like Pat it gives you more leeway then others.

So will all their upcoming losses go on his record?

this guy is a slime ball.

Wade is still supposed to play in the Olympics for August but I think this was a matter of knowing that it would do no good for Wade to keep playing when the Heat are so bad. I was never a fan of the NBA draft lottery.

In addition, I really think Riley is an overrated coach. All of the teams he won with were stacked in some way, shape, or form.

Wade is a disgrace to the league

Mo i just got off the phone with Reilly and he said he will only be counting the wins. He would make an excellent handicapper at some forums.

Wade is the shit. He already has an ring and is one of the best players in the league. He hasnt been 100% all year. He is getting way too much criticism for going on the shelf for the rest of the year. I cant wait for when Wade leaves Miami to come home to the Bulls

Olympic team does not need wade

Kobe and Lebron is all they need

Wade and Reilly have something in common. They both quit on their team

For Everyone who wants to call Wade shutting it down "tanking":

The heat's record with Wade in the lineup is 10-41. How can you tank worst than that?

This team is not good. They are the front runner for the services of Mr. Beasely. But the kicker is that Beasely is a great scorer, not a great basketball player. Great scorers get you nowhere except in the highlight reels. Great players get you w's. If you want to win some game find yourself a Kevin Love and build around him.
