The Heat not only will be great, but historically great. So predicts the co-lead NBA analyst for ABC/ESPN. “They
will break the single-season win record [of 72],” Jeff Van Gundy said.
“And I think they have a legit shot at the Lakers’ 33-game [winning]
streak [in 1971-72], as well. And only the Lakers have even a
remote shot at beating them in a playoff series. They will never lose
two games in a row this year. “They have put together a much better
roster than anybody could ever have expected,” Van Gundy added. “There
is now no good way to defend them. They are unguardable. They are
indefensible. They are just too good and have added so much shooting
and are so versatile that they will score at will. “And with Erik
Spoelstra coaching, they will be in the top three defensive teams in
the league, as well. The other 29 teams better hope the lockout gets
moved up a year.” Michael Jordan’s Bulls set the regular-season victory
mark at 72-10 in 1995-96. — Miami Herald
