And when it rains, it pours.
The Miami Heat find themselves in another kind of scandal when Heat coach Erik Spoelstra remarked the some Heat players were crying in the locker room.
This, of course, touched off a chain reaction of snide remarks from people within the league.
Here are some excerpts from Michael Wallace's ESPN article (after the jump).

Saludo kami sa 'yo, Kuya Rudy!
Rodrigo "Rudy" Salud, an icon of Philippine basketball, died yesterday at the Medical City in Pasig.
Salud is credited with bringing back the credibility of the PBA, when fans were turned off by allegations of officiating impropriety. After being unanimously chosen as PBA commissioner, he sacked half the referee pool and started with a new batch of referees, stressing the importance of skill and officiating credibility.
He is also the founding secretary general of of the World Boxing Council and served as sec-gen of the Games and Amusement Board as well as the Amateur Boxing Association of the Philippines.
Truly, Philippine sports have lost one of its luminaries today. But we thank you, Ka Rudy, for all your work and contributions.

Miami Heat Are Falling Apart?
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports writes about the debacle in Miami. Here are some choice excerpts!
James has used the words “fail” and “blame” a lot of times, but seldom in context of his own performances. His idea of accountability has always been his cronies and him nudging you in the direction of the guilty parties – his coach, GM, teammates – but never the global icon in the mirror.
The Heat have two of the best five players in the world, and they still can’t play together when it matters most. Derrick Rose never wanted to play with James, but he welcomed the idea of Wade as his shooting guard.
Four straight losses, and the gulf between James and Wade widens with every embarrassment.
Yes, you live with the consequences. Wade has started to say publicly what he’s been saying privately for a long time: Why don’t I get the ball when it matters? Miami’s no longer his town, and the Heat no longer his team. Didn’t you hear James? It isn’t our team. It isn’t D-Wade’s team.

RP Davis Cupper lose to Japan 3-1!
It was a gallant battle but history won out once again.Cecil Mamiit, the face of Philippine tennis the past decade succumbed once more to a younger, well rested Go Soeda, 7-6(5), 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 during the 4th match of the Davis Cup held in Cebu.
Mamiit gave it his all but the taller, harder hitting Japanese simply overpowered the Filipino with crisp shots from the baseline.
The Filipinos were holding on to a glimmer of hope after Mamiit and Huey won the doubles match last Saturday in style, blitzing the Japanese tandem of Takao Suzuki and Hirko Kondo 6-1, 7-6(5), 6-2.
The Japanese have now won 18 Davis Cup ties (out of 27) against the Philippines, including the last 4 ties.
The Filipinos go up against New Zealand this July, in a bid to retain their position in Group I.
