Miami Heat are 45-3 in last 48 games...

[Orlando Magic]

Not better than the Bulls but... they might give that 72 and 10 record a real shot next year as long as the roster stays intact and everyone remains healthy.

Not only that but if they can add another serviceable big close to Andersen's level of production/contribution, they might obliterate that record. That doesn't mean the Heat are on that level, because they're not. But they are damn good and anyone who wants to discredit them because of a "weak era" is just... well... lol.

Birdman is the true MVP!

Heat team will go down as a top 5 team of all-time when it's all said and done.

Two losses to the Bulls and one to...who? I feel like it was without the big 3 with them resting.

Bulls aside...when did they last lose a game they tried to win?

Only bosh played and it was against the knicks at home

[FireDavidKahn]

Are they better than the 72 wins 10 loss Bulls?

Seriously? I have to look that up, that is ridiculous

[Killbot]

No. There's a lack of skilled big men in this era that could have given the Heat fits.

Just going through the stats by both team, including the first 2 rounds:

72-10 regular season record (OFF #1; DEF #1; SRS #1; Pace 91.1) + 7-1 playoff record (only had a 5 game 1st round series) = 79-11 overall record

66-16 regular season record (OFF #2; DEF #9; SRS #2; Pace 90.7) + 8-1 playoff record (so far) = 74-17 overall record

For what they have done in their respective era, the Bulls are better.

No. There's a lack of skilled big men in this era that could have given the Heat fits.

There's that too, which the Bulls had to go through. 96 Heat, Knicks, Magic, and Sonics all had one.

To think that 2 of these losses are from the Bulls.

Taking out the Bulls losses, it would be February 1st in Indiana.

Conversely, anyone that wants to credit them when they are obviously stacked is just.....well...lol.

Are they better than the 72 wins 10 loss Bulls?

were their regular season better than 72-10?

have they even won yet?

I'm saying the Heat have "clicked" for those 48 games. Are the 45-3 Heat better than the 72-10 Bulls based on how they have played during the last 48 games?

You act like Jordan Pippen Rodman + great role players and shooters + one of the best coaches of all time isn't stacked, hahaha.

[f0und]

didnt the bulls have a similar record in their first 48 games?
