Springtime "theatrics" Heating things up in Miami
It's nice to see the Pat Riley of old is stirring up old ghosts. The situation that has arisen in Shaq-land/south Florida to the the streaking Heat, who have won 9 of their last 10 and have solidified their 2nd spot in East with a record of 41-21 (with "the Diesel" sitting in the fourth quarter of the Heat's last home win against the Cavs) may be a revelation of some scheming by the "Rilester" heading into the final stretch of the season. But then again:
""They just kept raising the energy level," Riley said. "I hate to break that up"
"you're going to ride that lineup as long as you can"
Sounds like he had no choice but to hop along.
Like upcoming Oscar leading man candidate "Zo" says:

"We've been on big fellow's shoulders the whole year," Mourning said.
"We expect him to help us get where we need to go,
and that's to the finals. But we know he can't
do it by himself. Man, he just turned 34"

But Riley (put a white robe on him and he might look like a wizard from the Lord of the Rings) turns it around and by saying:
"We can create problems for the other team defensively, too," Riley said.
"There's a little package that I have that we're going
to put in that I think would be effective. As long as you have
three shooters and playmakers and ballhandlers
with them, I think it could be a good lineup"

Ya think he's planning to put both centers in the game at the same time for the playoffs, now that would be one hell of an interesting "clutch" lineup, one that the fans have been looking forward to and calling for all season.
After all Zo did go "ballistic" with 16 points and 8 boards.
