Another reason to hate Pat Riley...

[Mike Dynon <mdynon@ix.netcom.com>]

...and Tim Hardaway's a jerk, too.  This from the Sporting News:

	The two best basketball coaches in the world are not very pleased with
each other after what happened in Miami Arena last week. Rick Pitino
called a timeout with 10 seconds left -- up five with the ball -- so he
could do some situational teaching, and Pat Riley spent the two minutes
glaring at him. 

	Tim Hardaway flung the ball at Pitino after the buzzer and told a few
of the Celtics that he and his teammates would "shove that timeout" into
an unspecified place in their next meeting (April 16 at FleetCenter). 

	Pitino's reaction: "The Boston Celtics are not here to please the Miami
Heat."

If Riley was in a hurry to leave, he shouldn't have had his players foul
the Celtics on every possession in the last minute.
