I've never been a big Pat Riley fan, but I enjoyed his comments about his team's recent losing streak and the media's collective panic-button reaction:
"Write it off. It's the media being neurotic. It's [the media's] need to make a story, create a story, and make that story come true. And that ain't going to happen. We're just in a tough time right now. We'll get through it...It's like anything else, like I always say, the playoffs will tell."
I'm sure there are still objective sports writers covering the Miami Heat, but many of them seem to fall into the category Riley described. And he's 100 percent correct about the playoffs. Would you want to face LeBron James and company in the postseason? No thanks.
Keep it up, Pat. And keep the Gordon Gekko haircut, too. It still works.
