Arriola Kicked Out Of Seat @ Heat Game, Shaq Records 2nd career Triple Double

(CBS4 News) Less than a week after admitting his hothead attitude to our own [tag]CBS4[/tag]’s [tag]Maggie Rodriguez[/tag], embattled City Manager [tag]Joe Arriola[/tag] got kicked out of his seat at a Miami Heat game Tuesday night for bad behavior.

A [tag]City of Miami Police[/tag] Officer escorted Arriola to another seat in another section, while his friend was kicked out.

This is not the first time Arriola causes a scene in a [tag]Miami Heat[/tag] game. Cameras have caught his vivacious behavior at other Heat games in the past.

Arriola, unhappy with a foul call a referee made against the Heat, started screaming profanities at the referee from his courtside seat. His friend was also involved in the raucous which interrupted that interrupted the game against the Toronto Raptors.

Just build us a ballpark already and get out of here Joe.

HEAT 106, RAPTORS 97
O’Neal, Walker fill Wade’s absence in victory

With Dwyane Wade sitting out with the flu, the Toronto Raptors chose to double-team O’Neal every time he touched the ball. O’Neal simply used the opportunity to achieve a career first, carving up the Raptors defense to record a career-high 10 assists and his second career triple-double in the Heat’s 106-97 win against the Raptors at AmericanAirlines Arena.

”People don’t understand, a lot of guys in this league don’t share the ball, regardless of what happens,” said Derek Anderson, who scored 17 points in 31 minutes off the bench.

O’Neal returned to the bench less than a minute after notching the [tag]triple-double[/tag], then received word of his accomplishment from across the court, where Heat owner Micky Arison was flashing the numbers three and two.

”I think Micky, the owner, told me when I was on the bench,” said O’Neal, who wears No. 32. ‘I was like, `What? You want my jersey? No? Oh, a triple-double? Yes, sir.”

Riley said Sunday’s loss to the Magic forced his team to reexamine its spacing on the floor, which helped O’Neal find open teammates more effectively.
