Which games do the heat lose?

[sweetjones55]

Interesting to note that the Heat went from -3 in their first game @ Boston to -1.5 now. I would love to see my Heat lose this game more than anything. It will give the public the sense that "hey these guys aren't that good" and will help maintain the Heat's focus and just make that much more hungry. At the end of the day though I think these guys are as motivated and hungry as they need to be to win it all.

Heat will go 82-0 and then 16-0 in the playoffs. This is the greatest team in sports history. NO need to discuss any further. Thread is closed.

Bookmaker still doesn't have any NBA lines. I expect the line to be Boston +1 around game day.

according to 98 percent of posters here, Heat won't win more than 65 games. Squares left and right trying to be heros and say this team will be a bust.

[h3da]

They'd win more than 65 games as long as no major injuries.. Wade lebron and bosh all played together in allstars game so I don't think chemistry is the issue..

[gangeriver]

the most stupid thread I have ever seen. Clippers can beat too. who cares and how can you know/guess this?
bullshit! I think you play only heavy favorites on the season (like -250)

[jon13009]

Hard to pick until the whole team is rounded out. They will need sime time to gel.

People are not being square as you say. The Heat might win 70+ games. However, history is on the side of people that think the Heat will win less. Ask yourself how many teams in the history of the league have had 2 future HOF's in the lineup and won less than 70 games? My answer would be quite a few that had 2 future HOF's with a better supporting cast that didn't win 70+ games. The Heat will play a dozen or more games this year when the situation is not in there favor. No matter how good you are guys get banged up or go cold and walk into another teams gym just dying to beat you and shoot lights out. The average fan calls them upsets. I think you are counting on Lebron and Wade to play like maniac's and go off every game this year when it is not possible. Some nites you are just off or not motivated to play. It wouldn't be the first time for Lebron. Not everybody is a hater or square as you think and most are not here to prove some points. I, myself want them to perform when the situation dictates I bet them. It won't make or break my season if they win 56 games or if they win 82 games. At the end of the day does it matter? Again, nobody discounts the talent on this team. Anybody can see the Heat will be a force, but we are talking about the NBA. There are professionals on the other teams that get paid to play too and most likely they will bring there A game when they play the Heat.

Frankly, I don't see how the Heat are even favored in the Game against the team that took the Lakers to 7 freakin games....

[sweetjones55]

Would this current Heat team be able to take the Lakers 7 games as well? Or if I gave you $100,000 you would bet that the Lakers would beat the Heat in 6 and not in 7?

So let me get this straight, you are asking me if I think the NBA Champions Lakers would of had a tougher time with the former NBA Champions Boston or the unproven Heat?? My money is on that Boston would be the tougher opponent. The Heat have yet to play together, Boston has played together for 3 years and a championship to go with it. The season will speak for itself so the Heat may win the title once they HAVE TIME TO GEL, but there is no way I would put $100,000 on a unproven team to give the Lakers the same challenge as a proven NBA Champion team. No way in hell I would do that.... They haven't even played in there first game yet...

LOL don't see where you got confused. I just asked you a simple question. Would you put the Lakers to win in 6 or 7 if they played the Heat in a 7 game series? Don't forget that Bynum was a nonfactor in that series.

[sweetjones55]

Maybe I should add the 1st preseason game against the Pistons to my list. According to ESPN, the game has already been played out. Pistons win by 4 87-83

Funniest thing about it is that they have the Heat losing the 1st quarter by 7, most likely the quarter you will see the most of LeBron, Wade, and Bosh.

this is a team we are going to be betting on, so we should have valuable information being said about them, not these squares that come in and make these 1 line statements with no evidence and no real knowledge of the game.

I know you don't discount the talent on this team Lyon, but you may be underestimating their unselfishness as a unit and their dedication to winning. If you want to have a mature discussion without saying I suck Kobe or Wade's dick, then please feel free to respond.

I think you are confused. I made a statement about how I don't know how an unproven Heat squad is a favored over a proven team that took the Lakers to 7 games, and they are at home. The key word there was unproven. You turned around and asked if this current Heat squad could at least give the Lakers the same challenges as Boston. I said hell no. Not right now they can't! They need the season to gel and create chemistry. Right now all they have is a good team on paper. Not 1 win to their name yet... So this can't be a serious question..

And Bynum was as non factor in the series vs. Boston??? lol His significance in that series is something not many people can understand. Notice the way Gasol plays with Bynum vs. without Bynum. There is a huge difference... And not to mention his rebounds and points that he provided......

I am sure your right about there desire to win. I don't question there talent or desire. The only thing I have debated so far is the team winning 70+ games and being crowned champions before the season tips off. The Heat hold up the hardware on the last day of the year, than I will too crown them. Until then I will treat them as I have many other elite "starting" lineups I have seen over the years.

[sideline36]

This guy is labeling squares as people who are saying the Heat WONT win 70 plus games! Imagine that! Goatmilk if someone has a difference of opinion than you that is no invitation for you to label them prematurely. Then you have the nerve to question basketball knowledge. The NBA season is a marathon with peaks and valleys with an exception on one team who set the standard. That team knew each other inside and out which didnt happen in 1 offseason. The Heat team barely can put together a descent 10m man rotation for a road trip. Wade always gets hurt at some point and Lebron is too preoccupied with proving people wrong that the team will suffer. Nobody knows who is the #1 option is in crunch time and dont give me the man with the hot hand crap either. See there are many holes in this 70+ win theory. Do your history lessons Sir because the Lakers have a much better shot at doing this.

fair points. but we need to have some predictions going into the season so which teams are you looking out for. we both know we can take advantage of some weak lines early on from teams that are being underestimated.

[h3da]

What's with 'time to gel and crap' they also said that about the big 3 boston a couple of years ago and yet they won on their first year.. They have training camps for a reason... I mean unless they are going to do zone defence which I highly doubt I don't think it will take that long...

[hels]

do people still really think the heat can win 70+ ???????? I don't see a team ever being able to do that. There is no MJ anymore and there never will be.

[hels]

so goat milk, how many games do you think the Heat will win regular season 2010? Be honest and I'll bet you whatever you personally (with all this hyped up smack you talk) think. Obviously I will take the Under of what your prediction is. State it and it shall me made.

It's gotta be at least 70 wins LOL or all this talk has been just a bunch of hot air!

[PlatinumBerg]

Some people seem to be pretty confident that the Heat will lose against the Rockets on 12-29-10, but we still do not know how Yao Ming's foot is going to hold up, and how he will be after taking an entire year off. Additionally, the top three players on the Rockets, assuming Yao will play are Yao Ming, Aaron Brooks, and Kevin Martin. The Rockets really don't have much depth either. The Heat really shouldn't have much of a problem dealing with the Rockets even if Wade, LeBron, and Wade aren't giving their 100%.

[MrSink]

I dont fully understand what is exactly the point of this thread ?! It is quite sure that miami will lose some games against weaker teams which nobody could predict and also some of top games! It is not as simple to predict exactly score in e.g. game @ 5th January in the middle of the season. Other cimcurstances are also very important so better stay sharp for next season. Good luck to all

I don't know I think they will win 69+ games and I think they will win the title next year. Let's bet on who's going to be raising the trophy at the end of the year Hels. I am going to put all you little minions in your place just like I did last year. Now go back and hop on LakerBoy and Paco's dick and ask them what the plays are.

First you were asking these two everyday what the plays were, tailing them, now you are going to challenge me? Pick a team who is gonna win the title next year boss and the loser pays 500 sbr points.

Oh now you punk out and wanna go the championship route instead of the win total after you sold all of those WOLF TICKETS!! Then you try to turn the situation around and rag on the man's picks last year to divert attention. What's next? Sir, you are the epitome of square biz!!

I never once hopped onto LB's and paco'\s dicks nor did I ask them for their plays. I was part of LB's thread and made comments and suggestions, not the "yo LB and paco, who you think is goin' to win this game?" No, my friend, that was not me.

I don't have any opinion yet on who's going to win the championship next year. I just highly doubt it will be the Heat. I am assuming that is your choice. I will happily put 500 points on any team other then the Heat. All I'm doing is seeing how 'confident' you are and hellya I'll bet any number of points on the Heat winning fewer than 70 games next season. Do you have the balls to make this bet?

I'll put up 500 points for the Heat to win it this year, you can pick whatever other team you want. Let me know.

[Goat Milk]

Hels people were saying the same thing to me last year when I was "so confident" that Kobe would get number 5. People started questioning the Lakers in there first round series with OKC.

[Goat Milk]

Sir, you are the epitome of square biz!![/SIZE]

I guess you haven't been here very long then. Run along little minion. Leave the discussion to the experts

[h3da]

Which would you take.. Big 2 vses the field?

[hels]

I honestly don't have 'a team' that I would be confident betting to win it all right now. The only way I would bet it is if I were to get "any team other than the Heat' which I know is a very poor bet for anyone else to take.

I know the Heat have a great squad but playing together in all star games and olympic dream teams isn't anything close to the long drawl of 82 regular season games and up to 28 playoff games. The coaching staff will have the most challenging task to keep the team from having any substantial conflicts. It can be done, but it will not be simple.

[bureK]

In my eyes.. The Magic are the first candidate
