The Miami Heat will win the NBA Finals.

The BOP of the negative side is to prove that the Miami Heat won't be able to win the NBA Finals. Definitions: will win: Will win is defined as when the NBA Finals come around the Miami Heat will be competing and they will be "champions" so to speak. They are going to be referred to as the number one team of the league at the end of the year. Just clarifying in case the neg didn't understand. C1: Expectations and Fanbase The fact of the matter is simple the Miami Heat are not only the number one team in the SouthEast and are going to soon be the number one team in the East, and soon after the league. At the beginning of the season the Heat were looked at much like the Celtics of a couple years ago. They were expected to end up winning the Finals. Now currently on the NBA power rankings they are ranked number four. The power rankings are a comprehensive list that takes into account many things in order to determine the best and worst teams in the league. The Miami Heat were ranked at 2 originally and after a very slow start they dropped down to thirteen. Now after a start of nine and eight. A record a team, especially of their caliber would not be proud of, they have recently gone 14-1 in their past fifteen games. The Fanbase ever since the one and only Lebron James has joined the Miami Heat the expectations for the team and the fanbase have greatly increased. The Expectations are to reach the Finals and win. The Fanbase is so large and so great that every game will feel like a home game. If you look at all the great teams of the past the Lakers in the 80's and 90's...The Celtics of the 60's etc. They all had some of the greatest fanbases of all time. They had fans in the other side of the country. People jump on the band wagon and will do anything to be able to see this team play. So now wherever they go the Heat never skip a beat. Currently the Miami Heat home record is 13-4 and their away record is 12- 5 at away games. As I stated previously and will restate the Miami Heat have such a great fanbase that they will never skip a beat. Their records home and away are almost identical and it shows that the fan base for the Heat is so large that its as if they were always home and it will continue to feel like this for the Heat. All the way through to the Finals and because of this large fanbase they are going to soon win the NBA finals. C2: Star Power Every Team to ever win an NBA championship has had a great player on their roster. I would like my opponent to provide one team in the history of the NBA to win a championship without a key player or a "star" player on their roster. Now the heat already won one championship in 2006. They had Dwyane Wade and Shaq. At the time Shaq was old and not as good as he once was. He did provide some amount of help, but most of the work was done by Wade. Now with Shaq gone to the Celtics many were skeptical of the Heat's ability to win games. Although now Dwyane Wade has recruited Lebron James and Chris Bosh. Those two alone are able to double Shaq's ability in 2006. It's obvious to see that those three working in harmony make the Heat the best team in the league. This has been proven by the Heat being able to win 14 out of their last 15 games. They were not able to work together gracefully early in the season due to certain quirks they needed to work out, and Wade had a small knee injury or a shoulder injury. Now that he is back and better than ever and all of the Big Three willing to give some stats in order to win their is no stopping this three headed monster. C3: Bench Behind every great player/players there is a very high quality bench helping them out. If you take a look at the Miami Heat bench they have a very solid team. Many of the players on their bench can be starting elsewhere in the league. This is what makes teams like Boston and Los Angeles so successful. Now according to ESPN the Miami Heat depth chart is as followed. Point Guard Carlos Arroyo Mario Chalmers Shooting Guard Dwyane Wade Eddie House Small Forward LeBron James James JonesMike Miller Power Forward Chris Bosh Juwan HowardUdonis Haslem Center Zydrunas IlgauskasErick DampierJoel AnthonyJamaal Magloire Dexter Pittman Take a good look at those names. Erick Dampier used to be a started for the Mavs. Joel Anthony was the previous starter for the Heat. Mario Chalmers same thing. A majority of those names were once starters. They are happy to be on the bench helping this team out when needed. The Miami Heat have filled the positions that they needed filled are destined to end up winning the NBA FINALS. http://www.nba.com... http://espn.go.com... http://espn.go.com...
