Damn, he didn't even look at the basket on that behind the back.

It's like a layup for him

Your move, LeBron.

Dunk of the year?

Excited for today's game: Pacers at Miami. After losing 2 games at Indiana - I really hope Miami comes out with a chip on their shoulder...like they did against NYK in the 2nd half. This may be the preview of Eastern conference finals.

Let's go!

Ohh yea!!! Great 1st half by Miami...giving the Pacers a taste of their own medicine.

Watched a bit of the game yesterday. Miami is an absolutely unbelievable defensive team when they feel like being one. Their rotations are incredible. Don't think their coaching staff gets enough credit for that. Wow.

I've been waiting all year for a performance like that. First game where they put together 4 quarters of good basketball. Personally, I don't care about the streak but it's nice to see them play hard against the good teams. They have beaten some good teams on the road...and that's way mor important. At times, I thought they won't be able to flip the switch, but they are peaking at the right time.

Spols has turned into a very good coach and he has a fine coaching staff behind him. I trust him a lot more this season after the adjustments he made after Bosh went down in the playoffs last season.

...and Wade - he has been amazing since beginning of Feb (when the streak started). Great on offense and even better on defense.

Streak will likely come to an end this week. 4 road games and a home game against Atlanta. They are due for a loss or two.

19 in a row

Streak is nice and all...but doesn't mean anything in grand scheme of things. Just want them to get to the playoffs healthy. They are certainly peaking at the right time.

Too bad no one watches the NBA til April

Nice win against the Bucks on the road - another team that has troubled Miami in the past.

I would be shocked if Miami doesnt win the title again. 21 in a row. WOW

Long ways to go still. They have to stay healthy. Last year Wade was struggling with knee issues and Bosh missed 12 games due to abdominal injury - I don't think they will win the title this year if that happens again.

As for the steak, they got a game at Boston on Monday and a trap game on Sunday in Toronto - If they get by those two, then they have a few games against subpar teams. Streak could go into late 20s.
