Wade and Lebron need to own up in the interviews like they don't give a ...
Agreed. Pretty stupid thing for the coach to say.
I have to give credit when its due....
All summer and the first half of the season when Ho and all the San Antonio Heat slobbers were telling us how the Heat were gaing to "tear up the league" I assumed they were talking domination.
My Bad. Good call!

By Kelly Dwyer
It's safe to say the Miami Heat took Sunday's loss to the Chicago Bulls harder than some of their noted fair-weather fans. According to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, several Miami players were reduced to tears following the team's 87-86 loss to the Bulls. The defeat marked their third close loss to Chicago this season, and it tops off a frustrating week that started last Sunday with the squad's tough defeat at the hands of the New York Knicks. The Heat now have lost four in a row.
After Dwyane Wade's last-second desperation jumper rimmed out, a catatonic Heat team sulked to the locker room. The Heat's season-long clutch struggles were made even more obvious with Sunday's national TV showing while Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said after the game that Chicago has "guys who can close."
And whether he was trying to relay his team's frustration and obsession with winning, or trying to point out a weakness, Spoelstra dropped a dime on some unnamed players. According to The Associated Press:
And when it was over, Spoelstra said some in the Heat locker room were moved to tears.
"Just to come up short again and again, it hurts," [Chris] Bosh said. "We all want to win. We all want to win very badly."
Bosh also told ESPN's Brian Windhorst that while he wasn't among the players who were crying, he was nearly in tears after yet another close loss.
Wade? He took a different, snottier, approach. From the AP:
"The Miami Heat are exactly what everyone wanted, losing games," Wade said. "The world is better now because the Heat is losing."
Oh, stop it. As if you didn't have any idea last summer that NBA fans would react poorly to you flexing and preening for the cameras, promising championships three months before training camps even started.
What's more important is this astonishing lack of clutch play from Miami's troika of LeBron James, Wade and Bosh. All three had exemplary clutch statistics in the seasons leading up to 2010-11, but in shots taken with less than 10 seconds to go in the fourth quarter or overtime, with Miami trailing by three or fewer points, the Heat have gone 1 for 18 this season. A falloff like that is remarkable and just about unprecedented in recent NBA history.
With the win, the Bulls have moved percentage points ahead of Miami in the Eastern Conference standings while sweeping the teams' season series three to nil.
This shows the team has heart and passion. I feel better after reading this, come playoff time this team will be a much better unit.
The team like it's fans have no heart.
They like you, talk a big game, but when it comes down to delivering...
They welch!
lol its the regular season get over it.
The players are getting paid, the owners of this team should be the ones crying their asses off.

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.c...ry-after-loss/Spoelstra makes mistake in saying Heat players cry after loss
Kurt Helin
...I can understand some players were crying after a loss. Maybe it’s a little immature, but at least they are invested. At least they care. That matters.
But telling the press? Oh, that was your mistake, Spoelstra. This was a regular season game. Say they were in tears after being eliminated from the playoffs is one thing, but to spill that after a regular season loss is a mistake. You may have been trying to pass along the message that they cared, but that will not be the perception. Tweens crying over not getting Justin Bieber concert tickets will be the perception. Your heat will look soft. Which, on top of playing soft makes them look, well, soft. Like a Nerf ball soft.
And, it keeps the Heat soap opera going.
Nothing wrong with showing emotion... i would assume the ONLY guys crying were LeBron and Wade... these two guys are the only two on that team who have the drive and care about winning.
I seriously doubt anybody else on that roster shed a tear.
Whens Riles gonna rememeber that Spolstra is a video cordinator?
Spo just lost the team. The only way Riley doesn't take this thing over is if he doesn't think they can actually compete in the playoffs.
Makes me feel a bit better though; my team got the holy bejeezus face ed out of them on national TV and at least the players weren't sobbing about it afterward.
No way Riley takes over now. Same reason why he didn't in the first half of season...He knows the Heat aren't winning anything this year, and scapegoating spo has been his plan the whole time.
you spoelstra! how dare you throw lebron and the heat under the bus! your piece of soul will die in !!!!!!!
It's regular season.Two months ago was different.
He who laughs last, laughs best.
Let's see what happen in June
In the long run it will be good for them.They will only care about winning not who's the best player.No more it' your turn,it's my turn offense.
They were too good to win easily in theirs minds.Now they know the truth.I would be worried coming playoff time if i were a fan of Chicago or Boston. It will be easier to defeat them before last week.
Niiiice...
