Sportsbook.com NBA Basketball Betting Odds – Miami Heat Odds To Win NBA Title – 45/1
Over/under regular season wins Odds: 40.5 (-115)
They couldn’t get Lamar Odom and didn’t want Allen Iverson, so this year Heat return basically the same cast of characters that blew a 2-1 playoff edge to Atlanta in the first round last season.
Much was expected of Michael Beasley last season, but no one knows what the troubled forward will bring to the sinner table this season after spending some time in rehab in the last summer.
Key players added – None
Key players lost – None
The front office (a.k.a. Pat Riley) is biding his time waiting for the free agent summer of 2010 (James, Bosh et al), but they also have to worry about the wandering eyes of their own superstar, Dwyane Wade. If the Heat don’t give any indication that they’re ready to take things to the next level, they might lose Wade and have to re-invent the wheel.
Another question for Miami fans –– does center Jermaine O’Neal have any gas left in the tank?
Surprising stat: Wade had 105 blocked shots last season, more than three times as many as Beasley.
Strengths: Wade can finish with the best of them and was just as good in the playoffs as he was in the regular season. In 8 months he’ll be able to choose from among several max contract offers.
Weaknesses: Uncertainty on the front line due to Beasley’s mental health and O’Neal’s many physical problems.
Playoffs? Yes, unless Wade misses a significant portion of the season.
