Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat caught everyone’s attention when they not only lost to the Pacers but Wade scored a total of 5 points and had a heated exchange with coach Erik Spoelstra. Â What’s worse is when we found out what he actually said. Â Read more after the jump.
There was a frustration that boiled over in the third quarter as a team dreaming of an NBA championship was helpless to stop its own collapse.
Coach Erik Spoelstra approached Dwyane Wade during a timeout, as if to place his hand on the player’s shoulder.
“Get out of my [expletive] face!†Wade snapped.
This is the state of the Heat today — angry, beaten and wondering what to do now — after Thursday night’s 94-75 loss that gave the Indiana Pacers a 2-1 lead in this best-of-7, second-round series.
Spoelstra downplayed the outburst by Wade, like you knew he would.
“That happens,†the coach said. “That really is nothing. That’s the least of our concerns.â€
If so, that, too, is indicative of a team reeling and seemingly at a loss for answers.
