With the Pacers upgrading their bench and adding Danny Granger, the Bulls getting Derrick Rose back, and the Nets overhauling their roster and adding a couple Hall of Fame caliber contributers, the Heat have some serious competition next season.
Heading into 2014, is Miami even the favorite?
Considering the Pacers stretched the Heat out last year, I don’t see Miami as a solid favorite. I’m looking forward to seeing the Nets. They may need time to gel, but this team is looking pretty dangerous. A top-10 player at each position…Pierce is underrated on D, and I think that bodes badly for LeBron. The one concern is whether or not Brooks Lopez can run hard and play the entire season. For some reason I foresee him injuring that foot again.
