heat will repeat most likely

[reryo]

Miami is going to the finals again, with this form and focus they have beaten all the teams (MEM,LAC,NYK,IND) that have given them trouble earlier in the season. OKC has no shot against them in a finals rematch, they know how to get Durant in early foul trouble and force Westbrook to beat them alone. Only the Spurs have a legit chance in a playoff series against a Heat team with this form, and even then, the Spurs will have to play a brilliant series. Pop would have to design an ingenious defensive scheme against Miami's spacing and penetration. Every Spurs role player would have to play the game of their lives because Miami is likely to shut Parker down.

The streak? Who knows

The level of play? They'll keep it up right until Lebron is holding up #2

Lebron is a multiple ring player

Their streak will end when Spolestra decides to sit Lebron in the last regular season game.

You think they'll top the 33-consecutive wins record we hold?  I don't know about that.  That would be 38 games.

Even Wade said it would be ridiculous to get close to 33. Regardless, this is a brilliant streak.

^lol

 

streak is getting ugly...looked at schedule, there's maybe 5 games the rest of the season they have any business losing unless they fall asleep

[t-1]

Not much competition out east so they can probably keep it up for  a while longer.

Combined records of the top 8 teams in the EC and WC: 

 

EC

Total Games played: 509 (-13)
302 W -207 L  .60%

 

WC
Total Games played: 522 (+13)

336 W -186 L  .64%

 

So its not that huge of a difference between the conferences. Its tighter than it has been in years actually.

I just want them to lose so ESPN will stop gushing over it.

It's not that the eastern conference is horrible, it's that the rest of the NBA is horrible. In my opinion, if you change eras to the 90's, barely any current team would have a winning record.

5 years ago today, Boston ended the Rockets' 22 game winning streak. Woah.

[Hero]

^Boston. Can't believe I'm actually saying that.

I wouldn't say having a 2 point lead in the final minute "choking."
