Haha this Miami Heat Saga has been all kinds of "Tragic Comedy" this season lol
Maybe Lebron should ask the children to donate their pacifiers to the Miami Heat

I guess crying was also another talent that LeClown was taking to Miami
LMAO @ Spo trying to get fired.
How can you not love ESPN's hype creation crumbling on itself because of the ESPN hype creation. This is sweeeeet sweeeeet justice.
I don't see why the coach had to make that public. It's his job to toughen these guys up and keep them in check, if they cry there is no need to let anyone know about it. He should have kept that private, most coaches do. Spoelstra is definitely on the hot seat there in Miami, if they don't win it all this season I could see them firing him because coaches always get the blame not the players.
I hope Spo is looking into other jobs, the man is gone after this season.
The self-proclaimed king should've gone to Chicago.
someone repost the original pix!
The Celtics were in a cascade of tears last June in Los Angeles.
Grown men crying is accepted now, even encouraged.
Yup, Kobe and Fish both cried. Didn't even wait till they got to the locker room. Adam Morrison openly wept sitting down on the middle of the court.
LakerFan should know more than anybody that crying = passion in basketball.
I actually think Wade should have gone to Chicago. He would have been back home with another hometown Kid in Rose. Rose and Wade would have been dynamic together imho.

By Adrian Wojnarowski
For all the flexing and preening, the third-person proclamations and South Beach parties, LeBron James finally delivered these Miami Heat something pure and authentic in the privacy of the locker room: Full of emotion, he apologized for his big-shot, big-games failures and promised redemption.
“I told my team I’m not going to continue to fail them late in games,” James told reporters in Miami. “I put a lot of the blame on myself.”
James has used the words “fail” and “blame” a lot of times, but seldom in context of his own performances. His idea of accountability has always been his cronies and him nudging you in the direction of the guilty parties – his coach, GM, teammates – but never the global icon in the mirror.
LeBron didn’t promise to do different.
LeBron promised to do better.
He didn’t go to Miami to construct a partnership, as much as he did gather superior sidekicks. He’s going to keep trying because the solution will never be to bend to the I-told-you-sos that insist Dwyane Wade’s the closer on this Heat team. The Heat have two of the best five players in the world, and they still can’t play together when it matters most. Derrick Rose never wanted to play with James, but he welcomed the idea of Wade as his shooting guard. Wade must have some regret that he hadn’t gone home to Chicago in free agency and spared himself this most unhappy ever-after with the Heat.
It’s March, the playoffs aren’t that far away, and the Heat are still regressing. New York survives two shots out of James in the final seconds. Orlando makes a wild comeback to beat them. San Antonio blows them out. Chicago makes James miss a wild, driving shot in the final seconds. Four straight losses, and the gulf between James and Wade widens with every embarrassment.
“I’m used to coming down in the fourth, having the ball, making mistakes, getting a chance to make up for them, etc., “ Wade told reporters Sunday. “You try to do your best. That’s all you can do. That was one of the things we got to understand when we all decided to come together. That there were going to be sacrifices that have to be made. And you live with the consequences.”
Yes, you live with the consequences. Wade has started to say publicly what he’s been saying privately for a long time: Why don’t I get the ball when it matters? Miami’s no longer his town, and the Heat no longer his team. Didn’t you hear James? It isn’t our team. It isn’t D-Wade’s team.
My team.
When people warned Wade about letting LeBron into his life, they wanted him to think about how he’d handle James making all the big shots, becoming the biggest star on South Beach. They never considered the possibility of what it would feel like for Wade to watch James fail over and over.
So, Wade played the victim act and reminded everyone that he never, ever wanted to join James on his Hate Me Across America Tour. “The Miami Heat are exactly what everyone wanted, losing games,” Wade said. “The world is better now because the Heat is losing.”

Yep, me too. I sat there in Luva's basement and cried like a baby last June. Kool was a cool as a cu ber though.
It was probably the vets like Juwan Howard, Mike Bibby, and all the other ones who jumped on the train that we're crying because they realized they probably won't get a ring now....
Difference between championship crying and crying over a regular season loss, tbh.
too many urkels on that team
That's why their wins are low against elite teams tbh
Oh look. A fan who is making excuses for the heat. You ignore their obvious flaws (bench, frontcourt, lack of a system, etc etc). You think it is just their mindsets. GTFO of here with that bull .
The Germans call it "schadenfreude." The rough translation of which is, "Hey, look, that Jew fell down."
I bet Lebron doesn't like "Coach Spo" as much nowadays. I think the reason he was crying is he got everything he wanted and he's trying as hard as he can and in truth he knows the Heat aren't good enough to win. Now he's stuck with D-Wade and a bunch of role players and broke down players that can't win. That wasn't what he signed up for.
Like someone said, I feel a lot of second hand embarrassment for Lebron. Everyone knows it was him and the media has ran with it. At first I didn't know if it would be a big deal because sports players are a bunch of pussies nowadays and its the new generation thing to be a but the media are now acting like 3rd graders and telling as many people as they can Lebron cried.
Crying over a game is something some little leaguers do. NBA players?
And no its not ok for Kobe and DFish because they were eliminated from the playoffs.
Erik Spoestra for some reason gave up what should have stayed in that locker room. I'm not sure if he's that stupid to where he didn't think it would have some impact but the end result is he just outed the leader in their "brotherhood". That's gunna cost ya.
steven a smith says a few miami players said there were two guys crying....he said one was not Wade for sure. Also, the only reason someone would cry for a reg season is game is if they are soft mentaly.

By Tim Reynolds
...So maybe it was fitting that Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had his back to the wall of Miami’s practice court Monday when trying his best to clear up “Crygate.” Here was his clarification: He saw glossy eyes, but heard no whimpering.
...“We’re a team that no one wants to see in the first round,” Wade said. “We lose every game from here on out, somebody’s got to see us in the first round. And the Miami Heat isn’t really a team you want to see in the first round.
“We’re fine.”
...“At the end of the day, we’re in a good position right now, in the Eastern Conference and in the whole league,” James said. “We get a win, we’ll be all right.”
Say it with me now everyone...
THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASKETBALL!
