Nobody has really been talking about them and the have a heck of a squad! I've heard a little bit about them vs the Cavs as a dream matchup, but these guys look like they can definitely unseat the Cavs.

Excuse me?

There has been some decent talk after the AS break. The Joe Johnson addition and the change in the offense after Bosh was out were the major storylines.

If Whiteside keeps his head on straight, yeah I can see them as ECF contenders. If not, they probably won't get through the 2nd round.

I love LeBron but it would be funny to watch Wade with this Heat team beat Bron Bron's Cavs

Yes I have. Since the all star game when they acquired Joe, and Richardson shooting lights out, and whiteside playing to his potential. They are a better offensive team the the Cavs. If the Cavs can't slow them down they will lose bad.

What's funny? Every single statistic you can think of says they have been since the all star break. They also have a more experienced coach and pat riley. Some of you try way too hard to seem smart.

That's because the east sucks and no one really cares what sacrificial lamb makes it out of there

Don't sleep on the Heat. They are getting major contributions from Justice and Richardson. Seems like they are understanding how to play together at the right time.

Except for the one that matters the most, ORtg?

Since the All Star Break, CLE has the 2nd ranked offense, Miami 6th.

On paper, the Cavs have easily the best roster in the East. The only other "complete" team in the East is Miami and they are missing their best/most important player. Cleveland should and will have no problem making it to the Finals yet again.

Along with several others on the MSB, I've been pimping the Heat since last year.
