Sickest front court in the East, perhaps. Very average back court? Indeed.
As a Knicks fan, if we get the first seed, I am pretty shocked.

Of course, cause people in general are dummys.  I don't see a * next to the Spurs 99' chip.

Besides when the Heat win this year everyone will just say "It's only one, I bet they won't EVER win another one"

i hope the heat fail and get upset in the second round but if they win the nba title this year there shouldn't be a * next to it and anyone who does put a * to it has minimal basketball knowledge.   every team is playing 66 games this year so it's not like they have any real advantage,  they were 2 games away from a title this past season as well so it's not like their some fluke team.
 
If Miami doesn't win the title this season, say bye bye to the Big 3.
 
Kobe Bryant and Mike Brown won't get along at certain times during the season. 
More celebrities will start showing up at Clipper games. 

Lamar Odom will not get a warm welcome when the Mavs visit the Staples Center.

that's all I have for now.

NBA Champions: Miami Heat

Key Headlines: Dwight gets traded at the deadline to NJ

Kobe is seen yelling and swearing at Mike Brown at least 4 times this season and the media goes crazy.

The hate for the Miami Heat dies down a bit and they quietly get the best record in the NBA

Despite constant claims that they hate each other, Westbrook gets his extension and he and Durant play without issue all season/playoffs

People will start comparing the Lebron Cavs to Rose and the Bulls a hell of a lot more, and despite great play in the regular season, fans and critics will worry if the Bulls win a title

Spot on.
 
The Sixers have a real good formula for a short season with not alot of break times between games. They're whole team is a bunch of young, athletic guys that are good teammates, have been on the same team for a few years together, got some playoff experience, couple players poised to break out (Jrue, Thad, hopefully Turner), and their team is all guys that just like to play basketball. No egos on that team. Sixers, Pacers and Bucks have a chance to make some noise this year.
