Miami Coach Pat Riley is talking about shutting down leading scorer Dwyane Wade for an extended period, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting.

Riley was responding to some critical comments made by tv commentators who were questioning Wade's position amongst the NBA elite. The Heat, led by Wade, were 10-45 heading into last night's game when Riley made his comments.

"He's going to toughen up. He's going to become who he was again, and I think it's unfair for him to be called out like that," Riley said.
