Miami Heat Sign Michael Beasley

I really hate to say it, but no one is touching the Heat in the East. As much as I loved what Indiana accomplished last year, even with Granger I don't think they have the firepower to take Miami out (assuming the Heat don't implode). The Nets are an unknown factor, so I won't speculate what they'll achieve.

The west is an interesting case. The Spurs *can* beat the Heat (they were only a few seconds away from winning in 6), but as a team I feel they are more prone to getting beaten by an up and comer in the west such as OKC or GSW.

OKC have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the Heat, too turnover prone and as Chuck said "you don't beat Miami by shooting jump shots".

Golden State are hard to predict, on the one hand Iggy gives them one of the best starting 5s in the league, but losing Jack and Landry I think may hurt more than people realise. In games where their stars are hurt, or shots aren't dropping, those two in particular gave the bench a huge lift. With some luck, I think GSW can be west finalists. The optimist in me says they would actually have the tools to neutralise Miami (in particular, Bogut and Igoudala) enough for Curry and Thompson to make it rain from range, but the realist in me expects this wouldn't happen.

Houston are a wildcard, I like the team they have. Asik is a good big guy to have coming off the bench.
