Turning Down the Heat


Arguably no team has improved as much as the Miami Heat have this season.  After starting the season slowly with losses to Utah, New Orleans, Boston (twice), Memphis, Indiana and Orlando, the Heat have gone 29-8 with victories over the Lakers, Jazz, Hornets, Knicks, and Thunder.  To many, the Heat have already established themselves as a legitimate title contender.  To others, however, there resume has one glaring weakness... they can't beat the Boston Celtics.  Three times the Heat have taken on the defending Eastern Conference champs, and three times LeBron and Co. have walked away without a win.  Now the Miami Heat need to figure out how to best the original Big 3 come playoff time, or watch the NBA finals on TV.  The problem is, if Boston is healthy, I'm not sure if they can do it.
