BallsToTheWall: Heating Up In December

Metalstyles 12.26.11	Mavs were still clearly in lockout motion while the Heat looked decent. I'm actually pretty certain you guys out there on South Beach can celebrate in 2012, because this might just be the year of the Heat. Oh well, go Wiz! haha.
Hawks 12.26.11	Bulls nigga.
AngelofDeath 12.26.11	Heat will take it this year.
BallsToTheWall 12.26.11	Even with so many goddamn missed free-throws and stupid passes I feel good about this year. Its cool that Trent Cole is Norris Cole's cousin.
aok 12.26.11	battier, curry, 1 year of experience under their belts, the still fairly young 3 amigos seem like the team to beat unfortunately
BallsToTheWall 12.26.11	Bosh is proving himself to be the bottom feeder. He is not living up to his contract buy guys like Udonis, James Jones and Joel Anthony are coming up big.
aok 12.26.11	everyone's a bottom feeder next to lebron and wade. bosh is still a perennial all-star, but still inconsistent and confused as to how to be a number 3 option. when he's on he's still 20-10
BallsToTheWall 12.26.11	Haslem and Anthony and to a lesser degree Chalmers and Jones have earned their rings should they win.
EyesWideShut 12.26.11	Mavs losing Chandler and J.J. is really gonna hurt them and lol and Odom's debut. Heat looked great for the opener and will only get better as the year goes on. Bosh just had a bad game and those sloppy passes will be cut down.
BallsToTheWall 12.26.11	LOL Odom's ejection. Losing Caron Butler sucked for them too. And it's never pleasant to see Delonte Wests ugly mug pop up on the screen.
EyesWideShut 12.26.11	i was really impressed with Norris Cole, dude is an upgrade from any Bibby/Arorro/pg Lebron and has the speed to keep up with Rose or Westbroke.
aok 12.26.11	dallas is one and done. oklahoma city is the team to beat out west at this point i'd say
BallsToTheWall 12.26.11	Its unfair to blame anything on Lamar though. He got traded two weeks ago.
Shuyin 12.26.11	i secretly love every single album in this list
aok 12.26.11	it's not lamar's fault, but barea and chandler just fit dallas' needs better
TheBoss88 12.26.11	Novel. Heat look good but wouldn't be surprised if the Bulls or Knicks knocked them out. Not that the Knicks play defense yet (give Chandler some time a la Dallas - Amar'e and Chandler COULD prove to be a defensive nightmare for other teams if STAT commits on both ends), but if it turns into a shootout the Knicks have more pieces - if Bibby and Davis come back as even former shells of themselves and distribute to that offense effectively, I think anyone in the East could be goners. I say this as a Celtics fan too. Bulls looking good but not sure if Rip Hamilton gets them over the top. Bold predictions (kind of) as rosters currently stand, barring a major blockbuster deal with Dwight - Knicks/Bulls in the ECF and OKC/Clippers in West. Knicks/OKC Finals. OKC wins. KILLS me to not even mention the Celtics as I've said AND praise the Knicks/Heat/anyone - but as it stands I like my picks.
KillerTape 12.26.11	Bulls nigga. [2]
BallsToTheWall 12.26.11	I was fucking pissed the Knicks won. I don't like Boston but im quite prejudice against the Knicks and well, any New York team. New York Death metal will get a pass though.
