wow all i gotta say is that it must suck right now to be a professional sports coach in the city of miami. First today nick sabin jets from the dolphins to coach the Crimson Tide, and now pat riley is taking a leave of absence to have knee and hip surgery. If the heats season couldnt get any worse, i think it just did.

Wow, this could really hurt the Heat in the long run. Lets hope the assistant coach knows what he is doing and doesn't go on a losing stretch.

"Riley is taking a leave of absense" - translation- The team has floundered to 4 games under .500 and Riley's ego can't take it, so let someone else deal with it. I'll have my surgery in the middle of the season and by the time I come back, Shaq and Wade will both be healthy and I can be the hero again and "lead" the team into the playoffs.

Shaq and Riley deserve each other.

Hahahaha, thats funny, but so very true.

The Heat look like they're so terrible right now, they're playing without 4 members of their starting lineup, and if you count James Posey, the entire starting lineup. Williams, Wade, Posey,Walker and O'Neil.
Honestly if anyone expects the heat to perform well at this point without their headcoach they have there head up there ass. LOL.

Once they get healthy, they'll be virtually unstopable as they were last year.

The funny thing is, they we never really unstoppable. They kind of just treaded along during the regular season and tried to do the old "flip the switch" deal when the playoffs started (and it almost cost them against the Bulls). And they were basically being dominated in the Finals until Dwyane Wade decided to put on a superman cape (and of course the officials decided to giftwrap game 5 for Miami).
