The Miami Heat had probably the most highly publicized off-season ever in NBA history. Mainly because they added Lebron James and Chris Bosh along with Dwayne Wade to form one of the absolute best threesomes in NBA history. Through all the love and through all the hate the question on everyone's mind is how will they perform. They were definitely going to be talented but were they going to be one of the elite teams in the NBA.
Many thought the Heat might make a run at the 1998 Chicago Bulls record season where they one 72 games. They started the season terrible, and almost everyone had written them off as an elite team. Then there team started to click, they got healthy and they started winning games. They are as of today the second best team in the Eastern Conference, behind only the Boston Celtics who are a half of a game ahead of the Heat. They have shown all the naysayers that they are an elite team, but can they win the championship. The Heat lost last night to the Boston Celtics for the 3rd time this season, and in the process they have brought up the question of if they could win against the Celtics in the playoffs. The Celtics as of right now are the front-runners to win the championship right now, and the Heat are 0-3 against them. They play once more later this season and believe me they need to win that game. Everyone knows that the regular season record means nothing when playoff time comes, but at the same time when a team dominates you there is a psychological edge that they hold over you. The great thing is we get to see how it all plays out over the next few months, I don't know about you but I can't wait.
