Miami Heat are Favorites for the NBA Crown

Once again, the Miami Heat are the favorites to win the NBA championship.

The Heat are battling the Indiana Pacers for the top record in the NBA East. It is likely the two teams will meet in the Eastern Conference finals.

Last year Miami won at home in game seven to go to the finals. In the finals, they prevailed in an exciting seven game series vs the San Antonio Spurs.

A current Heat hot streak was highlighted by LeBron James’ game winning three point shot vs the Golden State Warriors that also avenged an earlier season loss against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

There is a long way to go and with strong contenders like the Pacers, Thunder and Spurs–it will be tough for Miami to win again. However they deserve to be considered the top choice to win it all for a third straight season.
