Miami Heat coach Erik Spoeltra's ex-wife, Nikki Spoelstra, has been under fire for rumors of links with Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. She addressed this on her Instagram Sunday night.

“Y’all streets give me way too much power when s*** doesn’t go your way in pro sports,” she said. “It’s one thing for you sports fanatics to come onto my page after I made a really big life choice and talk crazy. But it’s another thing entirely for you to come to my page and harass me and call me crazy names over a rumor. A f****** story that is 100% flat out not true.”

This situation is likely the farthest thing from Heat coach Spoelstra's mind, as he is trying to build a win streak with a victory over the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night.

"The best thing about that is we've been so engulfed in our situation right now is that if I said, I haven't really noticed the schedule,' everybody would roll their eyes. But I literally haven't really been able to check out the schedule," Spoelstra said about the reunion with former Heat superstar Jimmy Butler. "We've been trying to get a damn win. I was aware of it, but you stop really looking at it. That's why the highest form of sanity is just to be in the present moment."
