Orlando 3/25 (homer pick)

*btw I'm not paying you anything if i get it wrong lol

They either lose tonight or seriously compete for the record imo. I'm gonna go with losing tonight.

Interestingly, five years ago today EXACTLY, the Rockets 22 game win streak was snapped by... the Celtics.

And if they do win 33 games in a row, they have to play Milwaukee, the very same team that snapped the Lakers win streak. How weird.

During 20-game streak Heat have faced 10 teams currently w/winning records & 10 losers. Done much better vs winners

During their streak, the Heat have beaten losers Cleveland and Philadelphia by four points apiece, Orlando by one and needed double overtime before they broke away and beat Sacramento by 12 points.

Considering how things have stood at the end of regulation, they’ve been ahead of losing teams by an average of 9.1 points during the streak (they’ve won those games by an average of 10.3 points).

Meanwhile, the Heat have won 10 games during the streak over teams that currently have a winning record by an average of 12.4 points. Not one of those games has been closer than six points.

I would say Orlando. Sht always happens when a team isn't prepared right and Orlando looks like that game especially being a back to back with Chicago ahead.

If I win please send me the money because realist is rich.

So if someone has already picked a game, no one else can pick it and win the money? That's how I understood the OP but then you have people picking the same game twice.

Correct. If it were me I would just pick another date, because you have nothing to lose, but I guess some people aren't reading other people's post and just writing something (typical VSN). To make it more clear I will edit the first post with the 1st person that picked the date.

@ San Antonio

Tony Parker will be back. Even with the streak, the Heat are only 2 games ahead of the Spurs for best record and that is missing Parker for the past few weeks.

 

[DoubleDeuce]

It doesn't look like Garnett's gonna play tonight. He is a gametime decision but didn't even participate in morning shootarounds..

Boston's chances are much slimmer without KG, but I'm keeping firm in my decision. If the Heat don't lose tonight they don't lose for a while

 

[Sharkweather]

NY Knicks 4/2

 

[JeremyHight]

Pistons! We can play with anyone... but beat no one. I say we turn it around.
