This week, I look back to the NBA, as we may be watching history in the making in the 23 game win streak that the Miami Heat currently have. The game in this streak with the most hype so far must have been on Monday night against the Boston Celtics. With Rondo out with a torn ACL, and Garnet out with the flu, the Heat were thought to win the game with ease. However, Jeff Green and the rest of the Celtics had another plan in store.  Green played the game of his career, scoring 43 points and playing great defense against LeBron. Well at least until crunch time. LeBron hit a game winning shot, and the steak continued. They are now 10 wins away from the record, and the hype of the games will only increase. Now as an NBA fanatic, and Heat-Hater, I see a loss coming very soon to Miami. In the next 4 games, the Heat play against the 4 worst teams in the league.  The only possible chance of a loss in these games are their trip to Cleveland tonight when they face off against the Cavs. Besides that, the Heat should be fine unless they underestimate a team extremely. Then on March 27, the Heat travel to Chicago, which is a place where they’ve struggled in the past. If they don’t lose to the Bulls, I guarantee that the loss will come on March 31 when they travel to San Antonio, where a team like the Spurs (1^st place in the west) are the perfect streak-ending team. The Spurs play a team game, and they have 7 or 8 players who would start on most other teams, causing matchup headaches for Miami. So it’s safe to say that the streak isn’t going to break many more records.
