    Officially 12 now. Maybe I should start a "Will the Blazers Ever Lose?" thread.

    Funny thing is they don't even have the likes of Waiters, Richardson and Winslow available at the moment, the half decent players who were still not good enough to make them a good team. They are playing Babbitt at PF and McGruder at SF, McGruder went undrafted in 2013 and did not play NBA before. Ellington is their shooting guard. They don't even have a roster better than Nets at the minute.

    This amazing turnaround should put Spoelstra near the top of the Coach of the Year list. And about time.

    Miami, NY, Charlotte, Orlando, Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago......all need to win. They are all in the east and all within 3 games in the win column of Portland.

    There is no downside if they all finish ahead of us in the standings.

    I wonder if an 11-30 or worse team has ever made the playoffs before.

    Yet we have players that are paid to actually act like they produce consistently.

    And we haven't all year.

    Guess we're just not as good as this heat team. *shrug*

    When answering your question of "Will the heat EVER lose" I will put $100 million on his answer.

    So, remember to read your thread title.

    Will the heat lose in their next 3?

    @ Philly
    vs Orlando
    @ Houston

    The streak started vs Houston, it will also end against Houston.

    I have read my question and it holds. Will they ever lose? I'm not convinced. They don't suck consistently enough.

    Heat down by 13 points with 3 minutes to play.
    76ers are not playing Okafor, and Embiid is out with an injury.

    What a shock. Can't believe a sports team wouldn't go undefeated for infinity
