Is anybody in Miami having fun? Is anybody having less fun than Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra?

The trio of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh was expected to dominate the NBA regular season. Instead, the Heat are 10-8, and much of the talk in Miami is how James struggles to get along with Spoelstra.

Yahoo Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski says James hasn't changed since his days in Cleveland and expects Spoelstra and everyone else to bow to him. Chris Mannix at Sports Illustrated noted the cool no-confidence quote from Wade, who should be Spoelstra's strongest supporter. Brian Windhorst at ESPN writes that the Heat will thrive only if they continue to refuse to coddle James.

James and Spoelstra met Monday. The result, for one day, was a 105-94 victory against the Wizards.

It is time to get pro sports back in line. They make 10 times more money than they should. Now they becoming babies when everything does not go their way. If Mr. James is unhappy, set him on the bench for a game. He is not bigger than the game and it is time he is made aware of it.
