The Miami Heat are already 1-0 this season and chances are they will get another victory on Wednesday, as they will visit the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center and the game will be streaming live on NBA League Pass and will also be on television at 7:00 pm on Comcast SportsNet and Sun Sports Florida and it should be an easy game for LeBron James and company.
James helped lead the way in the win over the Chicago Bulls with 17 points and eight assists, while Chris Andersen had eight rebounds and while Greg Oden did not play, the Heat didn't need him to and they pulled off a 17-0 run at one point to take the game. The Bulls are coming back strong with Derrick Rose and LeBron James and company knows that they will be one of the best teams in the east that should be there in the playoffs this season. The game will be broadcast on the NBA League audio pass and on ESPN Radio in Miami.
The East is not very deep, but it's top heavy with the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls all looking strong and the Detroit Pistons are expected to be improved as well after picking up Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings in the offseason. Last year Miami was ranked in the top five in scoring offense and scoring defense and they are already off to a good start after scoring 107 and keeping the Bulls under 100 in the opening matchup. The Western conference is a bit deeper with the Oklahoma Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers, Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs and there are also some solid teams with the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets could end up on top after snagging Dwight Howard.
The Sixers are being looked at as the worst team in the NBA and the odds are not good, as Las Vegas has them under 20 wins and they could end up as the worst in the league. The team has a short roster of talent and while they have some solid players, they are likely the ones getting Andrew Wiggins come next season. Miami is already the favorite to win another title and the others include the San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls and Thunder. Miami will be looked at as the favorite for the season barring a bad injury and they likely will get their second win on Wednesday night.
The Heat defeated the Bulls on Tuesday night with a solid game of 17 points, six rebounds and eight assists, while Carlos Boozer led the way against Miami with 31 points and seven rebounds his play will be key for the team this season. The Miami Heat have a strong set this season with Oden and while he did not play, the team has plenty of talent with James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade and this could be a third championship season.
