It was bound to happen....Ol' Toine couldn't help providing an I-told-you-so moment.

Antoine Walker blames Riley for Heat's struggles

By Ira Winderman | South Florida Sun-Sentinel

While Celtics forward James Posey has taken the high road on being allowed to leave Miami in the offseason, former Heat forward Antoine Walker was not as sympathetic when he passed through Boston last week with the Timberwolves.

\"Honestly, the Miami situation is something Pat Riley put on himself,\" Walker told the Boston Globe. \"You can't change the team like that. All the good teams, the teams contending for championships -- look at Detroit, San Antonio -- they have been teams that have kept their core guys together for three, four, five, six years. For some apparent reason, Coach felt like he needed a change.

\"You got myself, Pose, all of us are 31, 32 years old, still can play. Still are valuable pieces. Last [season] we won 44 games. Even though we lost in the first round of the playoffs, Shaq missed [39] games, D-Wade missed like [30]. So you have to factor all those things in.\"

The Heat (9-34) has the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

He was the Boston version of Googs, except that he dropped 20 8 and 4 like nobody's business. If he was surrounded by a team with defensive prowess, he could still play 35 minutes and drop 20 pts a game efficiently....maybe not. But close anyway.
