It looks as if LeBron and Co. have finally gotten it together down in South Beach. The Miami Heat are riding high on an 11 game win streak after beating the New York Knicks on Friday night, and have improved to 20-8 on the season. With the expected return of sharpshooter Mike Miller within the week, are the Heat finally beginning to look like the championship caliber team many expected them to be? Miller is just a few seasons removed from averaging 18.5 PPG on a horrible Grizzlies team, and there's no doubt that he will bring a much needed perimeter threat to the Heat. A career .405 3-point shooter, Miller could put up huge numbers as teams continue to double-team James, Wade and Bosh.
The Heat now hold the 4th best record in the league, behind Boston, LA and San Antonio. Although they've played well over the past 11 games, they have yet to have a dominant win against one of the leagues elite. However, if the Heat can ride their newfound confidence for a win against the Lakers on Christmas day, the sky could be the limit for this squad. Especially if they get Udonis Haslem back this season.
