The Miami Heat Rising?

Tweet

After seeing their first four games of the year I must admit I am pretty impressed. Yes, while the competition hasn't been great facing teams like Chicago, Pacers,and the Knicks who have a combined 2 wins and 7 loses the bottom line is they are still winning. Dwayne Wade is scoring 27 points a game along side Jermaine O'Neal averaging a double double with 17 points a game and over 10 rebounds with a healthy contribution from Micheal Beasly who is averaging 14 a game. Is this a team to watch out for in the Eastern Conference? Why not? If these guys can play up to their potential they have a good chance. They have the nucleus of a team that is going to be together for a while with since they are young guys like Wade, Chalmers, and Beasly along with the big man in Jermaine O'Neal. I'm not saying expect a title from them this year, but they are a team on the rise. A few more weeks and games will give us a better understanding what they are going to bring to the table.
