    Miami Heat will not win the NBA title

    Lock it in. No way this teaam wins again. A big injury will. Do the trick. This streak will kill them in the playoffs.

    If it were any other sport I'd agree.

    It will take a Lebron injury, or a combination of two other players.

    As currently constructed, nobody is beating this team.

    Got Indiana vs Griz/Nuggets/Warriors as finals futures. If anyone can beat the Heat, it's the Pacers, they have their number at home.

    Don't try to figure out who will. The books are offering heat +125 to win. People are betting this shit line thinking they are making a free qtr. Heat won't win. Winning 2 years straight is very hard.

    Problem is trying to beat them over the course of an entire series. Pacers had them right where they wanted them last year and completely crumbled. If it were a one-and-done situation like football, I'd agree. I just don't see a team beating Miami four times out of seven, unless it's the Spurs.

    I do know one thing: there will not be a Finals rematch this year.

    I've accepted that right now is Miami's time. Eventually someone will step up and challenge them but not this year.

    Healthy Rose and another dyanamic all-star in a few years on the Bulls could challenge them when Lebron is 30. Until then league is rigged for them to win.

    I will if I think they are the right play. Much better chance I bet against them ATS. Why would I want to lay those kinds of numbers they'll be getting?

    I'm just confused why you don't think they can win back to back.

    It's a watered down nba. The rest of the league is pretty shitty.

    But just look back in history. The entire history of this league has been based on teams winning multiple championships over stretches of time and very often back to back championships. Christ bro the fukking Houston Rockets won back to back. It's not as hard in this sport. Others yes.

    i think this streak will destroy them. too much effort put into it. lots of older players putting alot into the games now will hurt them in the playoffs. worn down vets facing the pacers will be tough.

    I agree about that point. Been arguing the same thing. Peaking way too early and they are going to have to win a series not playing their best ball in the playoffs. I just think at the end of the day they will get by. I'm pretty convinced they get one 7 game series in the East.

    unfortunately the heat have no competition, so they will most likely win it all again, unless there is an injury to a major contributor.

    I parlayed Louisville + Heat + Blackhawks to win West.

    Can't wait to see the first two lose.

    3rd has no chance.

    Would love to see this streak mean absolutely nothing, like NE going 16-0 a few years ago and losing the SB

    Lmfao what an idiot .. This team is Better than last years and they rolled through everyone this year .. Lebron is the best player on the planet and look at all those role players they have .. Battier and Allen of the bench would be starters on most teams

    First it was a stupid thing to say and then the reason is someone will get hurt and it is very hard. Hahaha it's like a roulette wheel, it's not any hard 2x than 1x. I can actually remember when I found this site Lakerboy, paco and goldengreek had awesome threads. Now it's just Greek and he constantly gets bashed and LB posts stupid shit and never leaves like everyone wants him too.

    If heat stay healthy, there is simply no stopping them.
    The streak does not matter a great deal come playoff time, but the adversity they have faced of late (4th quarter comebacks against boston and cleveland to name a couple) will be good for them should they find themselves down late.
    How anyone can go against the heat in a best of 7 is beyond me.

    This team can potentially get the longest winning streak in the history of the game, but they are built for the playoffs. This streak is just an added bonus. Nobody will beat them, especially since the East is extremely weak with maybe 1 team in the Pacers giving them a test.
