Miami Heat: 50-1
Something seems different about the Miami Heat this season.
I have got itNorris Cole’s high-top fade is more squared off than it was last season.
Oh LeBron James is not on the team anymore, which provides a blow to Miami’s title hopes in 2014-15. The Heat are now long shots that are relative after featuring as favorites this time a year before.
Filling in for the King, Miami has Danny Granger specialists Luol Deng and Josh McRoberts –three offseason additions president Pat Riley would have chosen as James’ sidekicks, not replacements.
Chris Bosh will be a featured part of the offense now, and he will do his best to reprise the part of 20-10 dynamo he performed with the Toronto Raptors. And Dwyane Wade will step back into the spotlight, trusting his body holds up under the strain of increased responsibility.
On paper, it seems like the Heat have sufficient talent. However, if another 28 matches esophageal his knees are missed by Wade, those postseason dreams could vanish.
