Yeah beating washington, detroit, cavs, milwaukee, a stephen curry-less GSW, a joe johnson-less Hawks, and Utah (the only good win) is a REALLY great accomplishment.
Say o to your November 29 - December 8 champions - the Miami Heat.
7 game win streak, impressive MoV
I think the Heat are good, but Celtics/Mavs will be an epic Finals.

They still have to go through some tests, obviously, but they're missing their 4th and 5th best players..they won't be peaking until April..the league just gave them a Player Exception for Haslem missing time, so maybe they will be able to do something with that(in a package)..
The Celtics are already battling a bunch of minor injuries that will probably linger all season, it's only going to get worse IMO, but obviously they're the favorites right now..they're the only legitimate threat in the East vs. Miami..Orlando is done, and Chicago's SG situation is a massive liability..

Right now, I'd say:
Level 1: Spurs, Mavs, Celtics..
Level 2: Heat, Lakers, Magic, Jazz, Bulls, Thunder..
They will get it together eventually; Wade and Lebron are too dominant not to. It's crunch time in a big game that makes me wonder who will get the ball.
I think they've turned it around a bit. Like Harlem said they're actually running plays now and the thing I noticed is that as soon as they grab the ball off a rebound they're off on and running, which makes them unstoppable and what they should be doing all the time....
The Mavs & The Celtics sounds like a series I just wouldn't be interested in watching, not that it wouldn't be entertaining, or that both teams aren't great.
It would be awesome to see The Spurs & The Magic in the finals, or The Spurs & The Bulls. I know what you're saying "Bulls in the finals and not the Celtics?!" but it's not that unlikely, once Boozer fully understands the Bulls system, him and Rose will be a very dangerous combo.
you wish they aren't
Mavs and Celtics finals, haha talk about boring. How about Thunder and Heat that'd be better, though I think all this won't happen and it will be Lakers and Celtics
lol mavs celtics finals.
Lol Mavs in the finals
lol heat in the playoffs
Cuban says the Heat are the best so I'm gonna agree with him.
Stupid thread TBH with you. The Heat were never on track to begin with.
Boston is the oldest team in the NBA, and they're coming off 3 consecutive deep playoff runs..both of those factors play a significant part in potential injuries to a team..it would be a miracle if they stayed healthy IMO..OK Harlem let me get this straight, since the Heat are battling injuries, they're going to peak in April when they get Haslem and Miller back healthy, but somehow Boston is only going to get worse when they get guys like Delonte and Perkins back? I'd love to hear how that works
However if they are healthy come playoffs they will sweep the heat.
This is where they're really hurting teams. Miami is definitely running more and once they gain more chemistry in the open floor they'll be deadly but in half court sets they're still a bit shaky. By the time the playoffs roll around they should have everything straightened out by then. They better because we all know the tempo of the game slows down in the postseason and the better teams know how to execute in the half court.
Even with their current winning streak, the Heat will still go out in the first round of the playoffs.
Mavs know all about that
How many times have the Heat gotten out of the first round of the playoffs since 2006? The 2006-2007 Heat were probably one of the worst defending championship teams in NBA history.
tbh the Spurs had 4 cracks at it, and only made it as far as the WCF one year. As far as a one-year worst, w/o a doubt the 1999 Chicago Bulls.
sounds like the mavericks
agree. Heat are starting to come around and its a good thing they're doing what the Lakers should be doing: beating the bad teams.
