We've been good at home so probably win them all, maybe one loss.

I'd be happy with 2-1 on the road

So I'd say about 5-2

4-0 at home
1-2 on the road sounds about right.

Chicago and OKC are the only ones that look out for since they are road games and since the Chicago is on a back to back. I think the Heat take care of the rest.

Miami loses to Portland...one of those WTF games...then comes back with that intensity and hunger against OKC. Lose to Bulls on a second night of a back to back. They really should go 5-2. Anything less than that would be a disappointment

My expectation: 5-2
Realistically: 4-3 (just because this team is too inconsistent)
Won't be surprised if: 3-4

Hawks a trap game. Bulls ALWAYS play us hard. OKC a must-win game.

well this is how i see the 7 games going...

feb. 6 vs HOU W
feb. 8 vs LAC W
feb. 10 vs LAL W
feb. 12 vs POR W
feb. 14 @ OKC W
feb. 20 @ ATL W
feb. 21 @ CHI L

these next 7 games are going to be fun to watch. the competition should definitely wake this heat team up. i have us losing to chicago because hell we always lose to them on the road in the regular season. i forgot how it feels to win in the united center in a regular season game. i can't wait for us to play both LA teams on friday & sunday. i want us to beat both of them...

4-3... this stretch is gonna offer us a couple good losses that will make us want to pick things up a litte but more overall, which will end up being a good mindset to kick off the second half of the season with.

With the Knicks hot on the trail, this is a critical time to keep the gas on the pedal.

Part of me thinks the inconsistency of late has come because the heat have still retained the # 1 seed in the East even through the ups and downs. Now there is only a narrow margin they can't afford not to want to win every game even though in reality there will always be losses.

5-2 would be a good run, 4-3 whilst probably more realistic will see them slip just behind the Knicks in my opinion and none of us want to see that. The toughest game will be @ thunder I expect to lose that, I expect another loss in there somewhere but agree we need to beat the bulls on the road to show character.

I know everyone will say it's regular season and beating the bulls etc won't matter and ultimately it's what happens in the playoffs that does but we can't just keep going into the playoffs with that arrogance. In the run home I want us to show some payback against the bulls, Knicks and pacers to say hey don't forget who the champs are.

Prediction 5-2

Damn, I want at least 6-1, but realistically with the way this team plays during the regular season, I'm guessing 4-3..

5-2 seems most likely. But if they play tough the whole game(which we know they wont since its the regular season) they could go 6-1.

Id be ok with a 4-3 record. We have some tough games ahead even if they are at home.

No expectations really. Have no idea who will show up on any given night.
