the cavs blew a 24 point lead in 1 quarter.

Lebron is on a ****ing mission to destroy everything. Amazing to erase a 26 point deficit that quickly *on the road*

heat are on a 54-21 run

Sorry Cleveland. I jinxed this ****.

Cleveland making a game of it at the finish.

the call in live action was right. The cav player comes from behind and knocks at the ball second, which is always going to mean the call will go against you.

The replay showed it damn close, with nothing close to indisputable.

Clutch FTs by Lebron there.

Miami's play by play guy sounds like such a *****

27 point 3rd quarter deficit.

wow.

Yeah Lebron is pretty good

25/12/10/3 for the king

Amazing. Would love to see them win 9 more. Doubt it will happen, but I guess anything is possible.

Denver at 14, and should be at 16 when they go to San Antonio.

I believe this is the longest two simultaneous winning streaks in league history.

Denver has gotten to the 3rd seed and is finding ways to win.

As a team, the Heat can only possibly meet expectations.

Is there any doubt they are going to win the title easily this year? This is why I was upset when Lebron went to Miami. It's just unfair. They are too good.

there is doubt. Spurs and Thunder can both challenge. Also, any injury to one of the stars and they could be defeated.

Bron and Wade coming together(i guess I could include Bosh but it is mainly Bron and Wade) is no more a superteam than Kobe/Shaq, MJ/Scottie, or the Celts and Lakers in previous decades. Some were even more stacked.

Heat aren't invincible.

they are the hands down favorites, but they can be beat.

factor in the possibility of wade going down with yet another injury, and it becomes even more possible.

All of those you listed won multiple championships......

Gonna get 27 tonight. Lebron James is awesome

absolutely destroyed the magic

I agree with the sentiment that they're far from unbeatable, especially to a team like San Antonio, OKC, or even Denver imo. They continue to lack size, which can hurt them if the other team plays disciplined transition defense, and forces them into a half court game.

It should be noted, however, that Bosh was hurt for major portions of the playoffs last year. If my memory serves me correctly Dwayne Wade also had nagging injuries (as usual), even if his performance didn't suffer too much. This is LeBron's team though, and there isn't a player in the NBA even close to his skill level right now.

The streak is impressive, but it won't mean anything come playoff time. The reason the I think the Heat are the prohibitive favorite is that they are an improved version of the team that won it last year, whereas their main competition in OKC and SA are marginally worse. They will only have to face one challenging opponent before the Finals.

Milwaukee, Brooklyn, Indiana
vs
LAL, Denver, OKC

OKC and SA are marginally worse

okc losing harden was big, but how is SA worse than last year? team chemistry we couldn't possibly develop in 1/2 a season plus leonard being exponentially better than last season equals marginally better, if anything.

It was a typo. I meant to say marginally worse (in the case of OKC) or basically the same (for SA). You're probably right that they're slightly better overall, but let's not forget that they were on a tear last year come playoff time after everything had gelled.

I still think that of the 3 teams, the Heat are by far the most improved from last year.

the heat are the favorites, and should be. no questions asked.

i also think they can be beat, not to mention injuries happen.

i think after that OKC dismantling by the heat, there are going to be more fans pulling for the old school spurs vs. the new school heat this year.

If SA can't win it all, I'll be rooting for the Heat to win 66 regular season games and a second title in a row. That would make this year's Heat team easily one of the 10, and borderline top 5, greatest NBA teams in history.


Hard to believe that this Heat team nearly went 2-8 over a 10 game stretch at one point this season.

looks like it could be ending tonight. down 9 with 4 minutes left.

It is over now.

It appears to have ended tonight. Amazing streak nonetheless.

This was Deng's Super Bowl. That's cute

Lebron looked pissed the whole game
