I think the Heat do have weaknesses, mainly defending inside, but they also have the luxury of being able to relax a bit, as do the Pacers. Last I checked, the third-best team in the East wouldn't even make the playoffs in the West. The Warriors, for example, went on a 10-game win streak and still were only a sixth-seed for the playoffs.

Not a Heat fan, but I'm glad to see Oden back out there. I just wish he would've went to the Spurs. Heck maybe even the Suns considering their medical staff.

Rondo returning to action: "Yo where KG and P at? They injured?"

I think the Heat weakness is their bench which I feel will be the deciding factor in the playoffs. Plus add that Battier and Chalmers tend to be inconsistent.

Waiting for the Nets to be the 1st team to join the Heat and pacers in the over .500 club. They won today and is currently 4 games under .500 and should be over .500 before or shortly after the SB.

For starters, the Hawks and the Toronto Raptors have been over .500 and the Hawks still are. The Wizards are at .500 now and play the Celtics on Wednesday. It's a possibility that at least 3 more teams will be over .500 by Wednesday.

Oh really? You can tell I haven't looked at the east standings and just going by the media talking about how only the heat and pacers are over .500. I see the hawks got over .500 while 3 other teams are at .500.

^ I wonder if Lebron will play. By then he will be almost 32 years old. He will most likely be on competitive NBA teams in 2015 and 2016 so that means SIX straight years of 20+ physical playoff games. Lebron will be a very high mileage player by the 2016 Olympics.

Lamarcus Aldridge is clutch from the free throw line. One of the best current big man in FTs. 44 points? Great game.

I don't know why, but I never liked Denver.

I missed the LA-Heat game
