Babysitting headaches
The players on the Heat are busy trying to pass off the Dwayne Wade – Gary Payton incident as just teammates getting into it in the heat of battle, but Gary Payton compared it to the sideline disagreement between McNabb and TO in the Pittsburgh game. And while that incident was the definition of the media trying to make something out of nothing, we need to remind Payton that things didn’t exactly end up well for DMac and TO. And we also should remind GP that despite his hall of fame career, this is Wade’s team . It’s not even Shaq’s team. It’s Wade’s. And unless Payton wants to play Italian league ball next year, it might be smart to let the next bad pass from Wade just go unmentioned.
