October 10, 200323 yr 8th? No one eastern conference scares me.All I know they are playooffs bound but could end up in any position from 6th and up.
October 14, 200323 yr 5th seed , Eastern is too easy to make the playoffs to get 8th seed Miami all has to do is end up wuith 42-40 record
October 22, 200323 yr 5th seed , Eastern is too easy to make the playoffs to get 8th seed Miami all has to do is end up wuith 42-40 record yea but in case you havent notice our team is not to good. We have no depth and the season is on Odom who is a big ?, and two young players Wade and Butler, then we have Grant and Jones. Thats it we have no bench.

No...................You tell me who in the eastern conference has a bench that scares you..
October 25, 200323 yr I am utterly shocked that, at the time of posting, 70% of people think the Heat will make the playoffs this year. It'll be SEVERAL years before we have a shot of winning anything. Basketball--with its small rosters and "soft" salary caps--is one of those sports where it takes a LONG time for a struggling franchise to become good, or a good team to become bad (exception: da Bulls). It's totally different than the NFL (true cyclicism and parity) or the MLB (free agency + midseason acquisitions = winner). We aren't even CLOSE to having a championship caliber core for a few years.
October 25, 200323 yr Since when did Lamar Odom become Karl Malone? Although I hope the Heat do make it to the playoffs, realistically I know it's probably not going to happen. You can't draw conclusions from a good preseason win-loss record in the NBA. Personally, I'm not a fan of odds--anyone who has followed the Marlins this season knows that odds aren't always correct--but the Heat are CONSISTENTLY ranked 11th or worse in the East. Obviously any team could potentially make the playoffs in the East, but the odds are against the Heat: From BetPanAm: (11th) Odds To Win the NBA Eastern Conference ATL Hawks Wins Eastern Conference +4000 BOS Celtics Wins Eastern Conference +1200 CHI Bulls Wins Eastern Conference +3000 CLE Cavaliers Wins Eastern Conference +5000 DET Pistons Wins Eastern Conference +350 IND Pacers Wins Eastern Conference +800 NO Hornets Wins Eastern Conference +1000 NY Knicks Wins Eastern Conference +3200 ORL Magics Wins Eastern Conference +1100 PHI 76ers Wins Eastern Conference +1000 TOR Raptors Wins Eastern Conference +1800 WAS Wizards Wins Eastern Conference +6000 NJ Nets Wins Eastern Conference +200 MIL Bucks Wins Eastern Conference +4000 MIA Heat Wins Eastern Conference +3500 From BetGameday: (T-11th [11.5]) Date/Time 2004 Eastern Conference Champion 11/15/2003 12:00 NEW JERSEY 5 to 2 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 DETROIT 7 to 2 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 New Orleans 6 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 INDIANA 6 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 PHILADELPHIA 6 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 ORLANDO 7 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 BOSTON 9 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 MILWAUKEE 9 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 TORONTO 12 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 NEW YORK 15 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 MIAMI 18 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 WASHINGTON 22 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 ATLANTA 18 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 CLEVELAND 25 to 1 Odds 11/15/2003 12:00 CHICAGO 50 to 1 Odds From Bet365: (T-11th [11.5]) NBA Eastern Conference 2004 Add New Jersey Nets 3.20 Bet Add Detroit Pistons 4.00 Bet Add Indiana Pacers 7.00 Bet Add New Orleans Hornets 8.50 Bet Add Orlando Magic 11.00 Bet Add Philadelphia 76ers 11.00 Bet Add Boston Celtics 13.00 Bet Add Toronto Raptors 15.00 Bet Add Milwaukee Bucks 17.00 Bet Add New York Knicks 21.00 Bet Add Miami Heat 26.00 Bet Add Atlanta Hawks 26.00 Bet Add Cleveland Cavaliers 34.00 Bet Add Washington Wizards 51.00 Bet Add Chicago Bulls 51.00 Bet From Intertops: (11th) NBA 2003/04: To win the Eastern Conference Bet Options Available Option Win Odds New Jersey Nets 2.5 Detroit Pistons 4.0 Indiana Pacers 6.0 Orlando Magic 7.5 New Orleans Hornets 8.0 Philadelphia 76ers 9.0 Boston Celtics 10.0 Toronto Raptors 14.0 Milwaukee Bucks 16.0 New York Knicks 16.0 Miami Heat 18.0 Chicago Bulls 21.0 Atlanta Hawks 26.0 Cleveland Cavaliers 31.0 Washington Wizards 36.0 Okay, I'll stop there... but you get my point.
