Miami Heat

As the "Heatles", as Lebron James calls him, Wade, and Bosh, have begun to gel together the team have found their way into the #1 seat in the Eastern Conference of the NBA.  The Heat are currently 30-9 for the season so far and are on a 9 game winning streak. The team was criticized at the beginning of the season for not playing as everybody expected them to, losing 80-88 in opening night of the regular season against the Boston Celtics and struggled the first month of the season, losing 7 games in November alone. Once the Heat got over their slump and began to win, critics then begin to say that they're winning streaks were due to the Heat playing against below .500 teams and that they wouldn't stand a chance against elite teams such as the Lakers, Magic, Celtics, and Spurs.  With basketball fans glued to the TV on Christmas Day the Heat began to put doubts to all the nonbelievers as they went to beat the Lakers 96-80, which was an embarrassment to the defending champs in their own home.  With the season approaching the halfway mark the Heat are beginning to hit their stride and show everyone what they thought would happen once the 3, James, Bosh, and Wade, were brought together in Miami.  Let's see if the Heat can keep up the excitement the rest of the season or if they will fall short of the NBA Championship this season.  The Heat continue tonight against the LA Clippers in Los Angeles.
