Final.
I expect the announcement of firing of Spoelstra this week.
I know its not gonna happen..but it would be funny to see the heat not make the playoffs.lol
^I'd love it. But the bottom of the East is pretty weak.
What happens when riley cant win with the heat? They switch cities?
Riley will give them the confidence they need!!

My best opinion is confidence isn't a factor. Personally I hope they lose every game.

And the bottom of the West isn't?

The Heat could go 41-41 and get into the playoffs.
You can't do that in the West.

Never-the-less, I'd take the top 3 East against the top 3 West anyday bud.

Top 3 teams in East
Celtics 12 Wins
Orlando 12 Wins
Atlanta 11 Wins
Top 3 teams in West
Spurs 14 Wins
Lakers 13 Wins
Jazz 13 Wins
The disparity isn't that great IMO
I think the West may even be able to take them.
The Jazz have already beaten the Hawks and Magic.

East
Celts 12-4
Magic 12-4
Hawks 11-7
West
Spurs 14-2
Lakers 13-5
Jazz 13-5
There is a slight disparity in the games played.
but I wasn't referring to wins only.
I think those 3 teams in the West could play with the 3 best in the East.
And to be honest I think the next 2 teams in the West could play with the top of the East to(Mavs and Hornets-both of them are 12-4).
in a series of 7, Id take any of those top 3 against Jazz hands down..
Boston against any west team in a 7 game series would get ugly.
^Well they lost in a 7 game series last year.
And I think the Jazz could beat any of those teams in a 7 game series except for maybe the Celts

With Kg being healthy this year and having the presence of shaq and perkins downlow. Celtics may very well be the NBA champs.

Sad, but true.
How come when the heat was losing people was calling for Spoelstra's head. Now that their winning no one is even giving this guy a once of credit.
Good job bumping this thread Wildcat! Interesting point!

I never called for his head, but I'm not convinced it was Spoelestra. The Heat started this streak right after Riley met with Spoelstra in Detroit.
