The Miami Heat are doing great lately and I wanted to know everyone's opinions on this and why you think this is happening. In my opinion, Lebron James has been playing phenomenally throughout this winning stretch with his record setting 30 points over 60% FG. You can't play any better than he has played, also he has earned himself a triple double vs Philly. I myself am a heat fan and was disappointing with there performance before the 10 game winning streak.

BTW I was a heat fan before Lebron was traded there so no need to come back to this topic once again, thank you.

I agree completely. When Lebron is Lebron, Wade is Wade, and Bosh is Bosh, they will win every game. The only reason they don't win back to back this year, is if in the playoffs one of them gets hurt or some other team catches fire like Dallas did a couple seasons ago.

By the looks of the forum results, it seems that really everything is just working well. I didnt notice it but I guess the whole team chemistry and cohesiveness is starting to be a good factor for them.The one thing that worries me is that they play well against every good team except the knicks... but every team has another good one they cant beat. Like oklahoma can't beat the heat. And in both cases its not by 1 or 2, its a blowout...

Really King James 136 were you really a heat fan before Lebron was traded there?

And yeah, Pacers are still the only team in the East I see giving them any problems. Plenty in the West, we'll see.

Well I liked Lebron as a player and I liked the team of the Heat... when they joined, I couldn't wait to watch heat basketball. I still watch every single game. Only missed two this whole season. Still now I really like watching Kobe play, hes a monster. Even with that though, this is Lebron's Prime time season. He can't be stopped this season, only one game under 40% FG...

Definitely not ready to crown the Heat. The Thunder and Clippers on their A-Games are both pretty tough. And if the Lakers get into the playoffs, look out. As long as a certain SG is wearing purple and gold, I'm not writing them off. Especially if he keeps scoring 40 AND dishing out 7-10 assists

We will see what happens come the postseason. I'm not convinced that Lebron's clutch issues are past him. When push comes to shove, there are still two players in the league I would have before him.

I agree, the playoffs are a whole differant story than the regular season. It's another mindset that certain players are used to and know how to deal with while others don't. I think the clippers will crash and burn because of their little playoff experience and a young age. The thunder on the other hand have lots of playoff experience and the second clutchest player in the NBA this season (first is Joe Johnson). You can also never count out the Spurs, whenever someone thinks there done, they come to surprise and put on a show. If Lakers make it the Lakers/Thunder or Lakers/Spurs series will be fun to watch.

Well I agree that KD is the second most clutch player in the NBA. As far as Joe Johnson being the most clutch, if I have JJ and Kobe on my team, Kobe is taking the last shot 10 out of 10 times.

You make a good point about the Spurs too.

Edit: Statistically last season, the most "clutch" player in the league was....Kyrie Irving! That kid is seriously starting to open my eyes. Cant wait for the Cavs to get him some help. Also, KD was 2nd, Joe Johnson 7th, and Kobe was outside the top 10. So maybe I've over-estimated Kobe's clutch skill a bit. But no one puts a team in his back like the Mamba, and I love that about him.

I would agree with the JJ and Kobe thing for every season other than this one, in shots in the last 10 seconds of games that are 5 points or closer, JJ is 7 for 8. I dont know Kobe's stat but I dont think it can top that. I would want Kobe to take the last shot if it was a playoff situation. His experience is too much to pass up.
