Who Needs a Coach Anyway?

By Brett Gillin

Published on March 20, 2008

Just when we think that the Miami Heat’s season can’t get any worse, the AP reports that Pat Riley’s just as disenchanted as we are. He’s even cutting class so he can scout during the NCAA tournament. That makes perfect sense! The team is obviously being coached very well right now, so there’s no need for Riley to be taking up valuable space on the court. Just to drive the message home, our boys of fire lost by a mere 35 points to the Wizards. Less than 24 hours later, obviously bored with only losing one game a night, Riley and company figured out a way to drop two in one sitting to the Hawks (they just replayed the final 51.9 seconds of their previous game). Tonight, the Wizards come back to the American Airlines Arena (601 Biscayne Blvd., Miami) to rub some salt into our wounds and bring us one step closer to the NBA lottery. Tickets start at $10.
