Miami Heat: The Ultimate 10-Game Test… But This Team Will Be Ready

With a, surely, electric Utah crowd and seeing the Thunder fight back to steal one from the Lakers on the same night that they defeated the Nets though, they’ll be ready, hopefully, just with enough energy left in the tank.

Wins in Utah and in a classic trap game, like the OKC game, would be huge and could be a great end to what will go down as an intense 10-game stretch.

Though the Jazz matchup will continue the stretch of national games, on NBA TV, the game against the Thunder does not. It should still be an interesting one to watch though, if you can.

This stretch looks tough on paper and depending on how the Miami Heat come out, could leave them with a less than impressive record. To me, the ideal outcome of this stretch is 6-4.

It won’t even matter who the wins come against, because every team they’ll face is legit. Either way, I think it’s still a good look to see how the Heat matchup with the top heavy teams in the NBA and of course, with some good little tests sprinkled in.
