if you have a look at cleveland season

cleveland Have beaten: Houston, denver, altana (2times ),

but lost: Boston, detriot, atlana, n/Orleans


while miami heat have beaten : spurs(x2), suns, Lakers
lost: detriot, Nets (x3), orlando, n/orleans(x2), portland(x2), houston, hawks


take in account Heat Has beaten spurs and Lakers that can do damage in this league. so heat can play with the odds stacked against them, while they don't play as well with side more equal to them, while cleveland havent face many dominate sides.. except they have beaten hawks 2 times but not for a 3rd time..

but cleveland is 15-0 at home, the only side in the NBA that is undefeated.. while heat are 6-7 on road...

If heat win it's going be by 5-7, but if cleveland goes like there last 15 home games they could win by 10+.. But both sides are sort of even but cleveland has the edge..

go Miami tho..

Enigma seems quite confident for a fan of a team WHO HASNT BEATEN ANYONE

dont believe me?

article is still relevant, and accurate

and lol @ Bynum being overrated, he's a 21 year old Defensive player of the year candidate. You cant expect him to put up 20 and 10 consistently, on a team with Kobe and Pau, which happens to be the highest scoring team in the league by the way. He does his job which is block shots, and protect the rim. He's had about 2 legitimately bad games, which came when he got in foul trouble, and only played around 9-15 minutes.

Just sayin...

i know the cavs havent played anyone too good but the celtics have about the same strength in their schedule. its only very slightly harder. the only good teams the celtics beat were the cavs and the magic while they lost to the pacers and the warriors and the nuggets. the cavs beat all those teams atleast once and they beat the pacers and nuggets twice. so are u saying the celtics are bad too then or what?

and for bynum, there was so much hype for him and he hasnt performed as well as he was supposed to imo. hes a very inconsistent scorer and basically inconsistent in every statistical part of his game. he started the year good and just went down hill. hes a pretty good defender but definitely not gonna be defensive player of the year.

well heat lost by 7, but they had the game in the bag by 4thq.. but fucked up.. I guess cleveland has something to prove to all the doubters..

But heat looked like the better side in the game... Just that 4th quarter they choke

i still don't see cleveland a NBA championship material side yet...

but my heat has alot of work to do, if they want to be in the playoffs.. but they are doing good for side that did so shithouse last season...

lakers and boston should win there games with ease today...

 

[Qwake]

Boston pretty much just bent the Kings over and dealt to them! (Much like Kobe Bryant does to white women, there my Kobe diss of the day Rell ) 108 - 63 :laugh: Boston is looking better and better as a team after every game imo, unlike those up and down Lakers! (no homo) Lakers won but it wasn't as comfortably as the Celtics win.

Tommorrow the MIGHTY Pistons take on the Magic, that should be a pretty awesome game imo.

you could say boston are like manly and lakers are like storm in nrl....

2 excellent sides, but one side drop's down time and time in parts of it's season and most of the time the crumble is save for playoff time...


for tommorow games i'll do a quick dipset pick

Hawks up by 10-12
nets by 3
Magic by 5
suns by 20+
minnisota by 4
houston by 20+
76ers by 8
toronto by 12

the heat just arent that good but they are just one player away from being a top team in the nba imo. they dont really have a good big man like they had with shaq when they won the championship a couple years ago.

and quake, the magic will probably easily beat the pistons.

and dipset, id take Utah over Philadelphia because the games in utah and the jazz are pretty good at home and the 76ers are not too good away. the rest of your picks seem pretty good tho besides for the hawks game. it will be closer atleast if denver doesnt win. i would pick denver to win tho.

 

[Qwake]

and quake, the magic will probably easily beat the pistons.

88 - 82 to the Pistons

4th straight win for the Pistons and it was over a good side, if they keep that up they will be one of the top teams imo.

 

[Enigma22]

^lol ya thats an upset. and with out hamilton. magic didnt particularly play good. howard hasnt scored much lately and its annoying lol...

 

[Beer Money Army]

well geez i didnt do well with my tips.. a few upsets in few...

my tips for next game...

since hawks play yesterday, i figure that a few won't be 100%

so maybe pacers by 3
charlotte by 8
the heat by 8
suns by 13
n/orleans by 20+
spurs by 18
dallas by 12
kings by 1
boston by 16

 

[Enigma22]

^lol why do u think the heat are so good? cavs will probably beat them worse then they did on sunday... the heat usually stay in the game so im not predicting a blow out but it will be by 10+ in favor of the cavs...

 

[Qwake]

Hawks by 5
Knicks by 2
Cavs by 7
Suns by 9
Hornets by 16
Spurs by 10
Mavs by 6
Clippers by 4
Boston by 19

There's my picks, hopefully I beat dipset

Doesn't look as though there will be many tight games from what I think but tomorrow there shoulder be some good games.

 

[Beer Money Army]

well enigma heats beat cleveland by 9.. that is why heat are so good, they learned from there mistake in 4th quarter and i had faith in them, that they will win in this game....

pacers by 3 wrong
charlotte by 8 wrong
the heat by 8 (right with win but 1 point off)
suns by 13 right but 1 pt off
n/orleans by 20+ right but they didnt smash them
spurs by 18 wrong what a shocker
dallas by 12 right but 5 pts off
kings by 1 right but 1 pt off
boston by 16 wrong what a shocker

i got 5 right... i beat qwake by 1.. huge surpise in boston, spurs games...

my next picks

Magic by 6
detriot by 4
houston by 8 (i reckon the bucks wont be 100% for this game)
denver by 20+ (toronto have a hard time winning at home and this will be no different)
Oklahoma by 4 (i got a feeling they could win this game)
76ers by 6 pts...

my Heat are in 6th spots..but they need to fix up on the road games still.. not nba champions material yet...but they should make the playoffs if they keep in good form

 

[exC.On]

I was hoping the cavs won, but I'm a fan of the heat anyway. And as for blazers and boston... I called it, just didnt expect it without Roy.

 

[Enigma22]

the heat didnt really learn from their mistakes, they just were so hot from the three point line. they were over 60 percent from threes.

and ya i knew portland had the ability to beat boston but i didnt think they could do it without roy...

and dipset, how can u pick the thunder to win any game?

60% is 3points for 4th quarters is awesome for any team..... They must of beening training to score 3's against cleveland inside of going into the 2 pt zone in risks of blocks and steals or quick turnovers..
Orlando should be solid close game for them...

I pick thunder, Because golden state last couple games have been some tough ones, I just think this could be the game where thunder can score the win if they have there mind on the game tho...

well magic smash the bulls pretty good so far.
detriot beat nets pretty comfortably I'm 2/2..
