Huffington Post All of these tough losses are apparently getting to some of the Miami Heat players.
After the Heat lost their fourth straight game on Sunday, some of the players were reportedly very emotional in the locker room.
According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Spoelstra said: "There are a couple of guys crying there in the locker room." Brian Windhorst of ESPN also confirmed the report.
It has been a rough stretch for Miami. The Chicago Bulls beat the Heat by one point after both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade missed shots in the final seconds.
On Friday, the San Antonio Spurs gave the Heat their worst loss of the season, crushing them 125-95.
Miami gave up a 24-point lead in the third quarter the previous night against Orlando. The Magic pulled off an amazing comeback to win 99-96 after Chris Bosh and LeBron missed 3-point attempts in the final seconds.
I can't even comprehend grown ass men crying after losing a regular season basketball game. I kind of get it when it is a college kid who just lost his last game as a senior and is never going to play basketball again, but these guys are pros, and need to act like it.
My big question here is, who are the "couple of guys crying"? I think we can safely say that one of them is Bosh, since he cried after the Orlando game. The other guy is trickier. It has to be someone who has a lot at stake, since it made him cry, so that rules out the role players. I don't think a guy like Dwyane Wade, who has already won a championship, is going to cry after any regular season game. So it has to be Lebron. He has proven himself as a sore loser in the past and this goes along with that image perfectly.
I would love to know what guys around the league think about this. I know what I think. Next time it is Noche Latina, the NBA should issue La Heat jerseys to the team from Miami.
