The other day, Pat Riley mentioned that he was thinking about shutting down Dwyane Wade, or at least playing him fewer minutes per game. Apparently, someone forgot to check with Wade first, because he doesn't like the sound of that at all. "If I'm going to play, I'm going to play," he told reporters. "I'm not going to come out and play 20-minute games. I want to play my 35, 40 minutes a night and try to help my team win. It's not my job to look at the draft and what position we're in."
