Hot Heat
Years ago
The heat have started to roll along quite nicely of late. Just wondering, if they are fit and healthy come playoff time could they surprise everyone and win it again? They have a great mix and a fit Shaq would cause some problems to most teams in the West if they were to get thru the East. A bit of a long shot but 15/1 might eb good value at the moment.
No. I'm no Mavs fan, but the writing is on the wall. The title is theirs to loosen up on.

I don't think they can. Even with shaq healthy his is still not as dominant as 2-3 years ago.
Remember Wade won it for them almost single handedly last year... So I feel he is the key. If he comes back 100% healty by the playoffs, they have a chance. If not, the best they can do is maybe conference finals...
I am also a mavs fan so im hoping miami crash and burn. Do i think miami can go back to back? hmmm... nah

As of the other day, the Mavs were projected to face the Warriors in the first round. Guess who they've been 0-2 this season?

One of those GS wins was in the first four games of the season when Dallas were still getting their stuff together. The Mavs lost those first four games and have gone 56-7 since! The other was at Golden State. Given GS will have to play in Dallas the first two games i wouldn't hold much hope for them given their woeful away record. I think the Clippers may actually get that last spot anyway.
dallas will crumble and miami and the diesel can do it

I dont see the Heat making the ECF let alone winning it all.
Much of their team had something to prove last season, I dont see them getting any where near enough production out of everyone other than Shaq/Wade presuming they are healthy going into the playoffs.
