Over\/under regular season wins Odds:<\/strong> 40.5 (-115)<\/p>\nThey couldn\u2019t get Lamar Odom and didn\u2019t want Allen Iverson, so this year Heat return basically the same cast of characters that blew a 2-1 playoff edge to Atlanta in the first round last season. <\/p>\n

Pat Riley) is biding his time waiting for the free agent summer of 2010 (James, Bosh et al), but they also have to worry about the wandering eyes of their own superstar, Dwyane Wade. If the Heat don\u2019t give any indication that they\u2019re ready to take things to the next level, they might lose Wade and have to re-invent the wheel.<\/p>\n
Another question for Miami fans \u2013\u2013 does center Jermaine O\u2019Neal have any gas left in the tank?<\/p>\n
Surprising stat:<\/strong> Wade had 105 blocked shots last season, more than three times as many as Beasley.<\/p>\nStrengths:<\/strong> Wade can finish with the best of them and was just as good in the playoffs as he was in the regular season. In 8 months he\u2019ll be able to choose from among several max contract offers.<\/p>\nWeaknesses:<\/strong> Uncertainty on the front line due to Beasley\u2019s mental health and O\u2019Neal\u2019s many physical problems.<\/p>\nPlayoffs?<\/strong> Yes, unless Wade misses a significant portion of the season.<\/p>\nWin total projection for 2009-10<\/strong> — 45<\/p>\nCLICK HERE TO JOIN SPORTSBOOK.COM – ONE OF OUR TOP RATED ONLINE SPORTSBOOKS – 50% SIGN UP BONUS FOR NBA BETTING ONLINE<\/h3>\n
