Miami already unraveling?

From Stein's Daily Dime (which is quoting the Sun Sentinel):
In the wake of Saturday's loss, Gary Payton questioned some of the offensive tactics of coach Stan Van Gundy. 'If I was the coach, I would do it a different way,' Payton said. He made his comment while addressing Van Gundy's preference for constant ball movement instead of playing directly to a hot hand.

The Sentinel article included this retort from SVG:
Van Gundy expressed displeasure after his team blew a nine-point fourth-quarter lead against the Bucks, citing players trying to do too much on their own."Their way of getting it done didn't work," he said of yet another night with a high turnover count.

But, hey, it's all in good fun, right? The piece also said:
Payton insisted he would not be an issue for Van Gundy. In fact, he offered his comments in front of an ESPN Radio microphone from a Milwaukee affiliate in an easy-going, non-confrontational manner."I can't come up in here and be a menace to him," Payton said.

And folks said Payton would be a cancer. Pfff.
