Miami Heat Want Coach Erik Spoelstra Fired Because He Yells At Them (No one yells at Lebron!)

ESPN reports that Miami Heat players are now openly questioning coach Erik Spoelstra and his ability to guide them to an NBA title.

The team is 9-8, but Spoelstra's greatest crime so far? Telling LeBron James that "I can't tell when you're serious." What a monster!

And the revolt may not be so private, judging by LeBron's shoulder bump that he put on Spoelstra during a timeout on Saturday.

Team sources say that Spoelstra is pushing players too hard, because he fears for his job.

Perhaps he fears for his job, because anonymous team sources are already running to ESPN trying to get him fired after just 17 games.

Well Boo Hoo you overpaid, dumbass crybabies.

Sorry you have to put up with a little crap for a little bit of time to pick up your multimillion paychecks.

Try working for someone who tells you that you have to start sleeping with clients to close accounts.

A Bunch of over paid cry babies.
Would not watch an NBA game on TV if it was the only programming on..

It was Paul WESTHEAD that was replaced by Pat Riley in the beginning of the Showtime era.

Thanks for the correction. I’m no NBA fan, but I remember the gist of the conflict, if not the identity of the coach. It really has to be something when the team owner hires the coach and says implicitly “you’re in charge”, then mentions “well, except for that guy over there - he’s making 13 times your salary and he’s the final word on whatever he likes”.
