Miami heat played their last regular season game against orlando, but shaquille o’neal and dwyane wade were inactive on the list. Heat coach pat riley decided not to play o’neal and wade, because he did not want two of their star player is injured before the playoffs. In 1983, when riley was the coach of the lakers before james worthy broke his leg in the last week of the regular season, and riley still think it was one of the reasons why the lakers were able to defend their nba title.

This time riley has to take any risk in order to meet its two main actors, when the heat has to defend its nba championship. Riley said throughout the year, teams play for positioning and trying to keep players healthy. Probably you will realize how devastating it can be an injury to the team. Neither o’neal nor wade complained at night. Wade said it was one of those moments when a player had to keep your mouth and listen to the coach and do exactly what led to the coach. Wade missed 23 games after dislocating his left and is currently the treatment of pain in the knee. Wade said he was going to get some air and then from there. While o’neal said he was ready to compete for the playoffs and looked at me. Heat before james posey was also inactive because of a sprained wrist and shoulder.
