The Heat Streak

Question of the Day: Is the  new tuck rule for the NFL good for players?

The Miami Heat have won 23 games in a row. 23. Led by their Big 3 of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh; the Heat have blown away playoff bound teams such as the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers, as well as had a few close games against the Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings, and the Boston Celtics. Nonetheless, the Heat have won 23 games in a row and don't seem to be slowing down any time soon.

A 23 game winning streak in the NBA is the second longest in history, only to the great 1977-1978 Los Angeles Lakers 33 game winning streak. The Heat are already favorites to win the NBA Championship for a second straight year, and while that is an incredibly difficult task to do; I believe that winning 34 straight games to beat the Laker record is just as difficult.
The Heat are one of 3 teams that I truly consider to be 'elite' in the NBA (along with the Spurs, and the Thunder). Although they are an awful rebounding team in the low post, the Big 3 balance it out with their efficient shooting from the field and constant success from the free throw line.

The next four games that the Heat play are the four lowest seeds in the entire Eastern Conference  Cleveland  Detroit, Charlotte, and Orlando. So I believe that it is no question that the Heat will extend their winning streak to at least 27 with ease. It is on the 28th game where they play the Chicago Bulls where the Heat will face a challenge IF AND ONLY IF point guard, Derrick Rose returns to lead the Bulls to an inspired victory. Otherwise, they will cruise past the Bulls. The other threat they face will be, if their streak is still going on, is against the San Antonio Spurs on the 31st of March. Beating the Spurs won't be an easy task, but it would give the Heat a 30 game winning streak and will easily win their next four games to hold the record of the largest win streak in NBA history.

I believe that the Heat will beat the streak and win a record of 34 consecutive games. But the only way that it will be possible is that if they continue to shoot efficiently  as well as, have help from their role players such as Mario Chalmers, Shane Battier, Ray Allen, among others. There is no doubt that LeBron will lead this team, game after game, the path to victory will not be easy for the Heat, especially against the Spurs but I believe with LeBron's leadership the will not only win at least 34 games in a row but eventually easily win the NBA Championship for a second straight season.

This is a copy of the Heat upcoming schedule. The number next to the team name is the number at which their winning streak would be at if Miami wins.
