As long as the Heat either beats Chicago in all games they face each other this season OR the Heat ends up with the better record, then the season is a success.

That means we can say "That's not even wrong!" I have been waiting for this day.

I'm gonna change my wins prediction. Thats fair right? I mean the season hasn't officially started yet...

This team will win 45 games.

I figure a realistic range is 35-45wins but I'm gonna go ahead and be optimistic.

I thought about this prediction thread at 11-30 and figured that my prediction was the ultimate pessimism - just missing the playoffs and getting a lousy pick. Now I fear it is our destiny.

At that same time fivethirtyeight was predicting 27 wins & I was like B) now I might be with you.

If Riley wants to go for PO and gets us an upgrade at PF then I'm happy to get off the tankwagon I've been on since we struck out in FA. Waiters & JJ have been good value adds for this year - just a pity it will cost a heap to keep them :/
