And so,now,the Pacers are just like every other NBA team this season, with each getting beaten at least once by the Heat. Now the Pacers are victim No. 18 in a Miami winning streak that appears to have first-class space to stretch, perhaps to 20 before Friday’s visit to Milwaukee. Now Indiana will need to wait until the postseason to prove it is prepared to play, for as many as seven games, at Miami’s level.Because it certainly did not seem so Sunday, when the Heat played at the Pacers’ pace — with just six transition points — and still pasted them. But by getting to 20 in a row by midweek, with the Hawks visiting Tuesday and the Heat playing Wednesday in Philadelphia, the Heat would join those Lakers, the 2007-08 Houston Rockets (22 in a row), 1948-49 Washington Capitols (20) and 1970-71 Milwaukee Bucks (20) as the only teams to win 20 in a row, with the Capitols' ' streak split over two seasons.*Miami Heat is one of the safest bets in the NBA this year is to take any crap team that’s visiting Miami & away games, because the Heat is going to go at full-speed. The market has already lowered prices from where the Power Ratings say they should be. I made some great money betting Miami with string bets & 70% wins in there 18 game winning streak.
