Watching the Heat-Bucks game yesterday made me feel like watching the Bulls of 1996. I remember getting home from work and watched the replay on Sky TV of the game between the Bulls and the Bucks. The Bulls have 4 more games left in their schedule and pretty much clinched top seed right through to the finals and are sitting on 69 wins. The game against the Bucks is quite important because no one has won 70 games in a season ever... They were trailing after 3 but they outscored the Bucks 24-12 in the fourth for a 6 point win and the record. They went on to win 2 more of the next 3 games that made their magical regular season wins to 72...
And if you haven't been impressed by the Heat's 21 winning streak then you are denying yourself an experience that doesn't come very often. With the way the Heat are playing these days, I think they have finally figured out how to really succeed playing with each other. They've been to 2 consecutive Finals since the BIG 3 came together and winning it all on the 2nd one but they have never shown this kind of play and confidence.
Lebron seems to be getting better each season. We all know about his physical skills and strength but what I'm seeing from him this season is his basketball IQ. He's always thinking ahead of everyone else.
Dwyane seems to have recovered from his injuries and is playing the way he was when he won his first Finals MVP.
Chris Bosh is a very nice compliment to Lebron and D-wade. You should have watched yesterday's game to see what he can really do to opponents. He's not really a center but he's playing the spot. With him shooting the jumpers the way he does, he attracts the opposing center to go out as far as the 3point line which then creates the open lane for Lebron and Dwyane.
And the rest of the team are fitting perfectly right now...
So if they win more championships together, where will the duo of Lebron-DWade could be in comparison to say Jordan-Pippen?
But where do you think the streak would end?
