Miami Heat Arrive in LA to Play the Clippers
The Staples Center will come alive on January 11th when the Miami Heat takes on the Los Angeles Clippers. The Heat arrives with one of the best records in the NBA, based mainly on their phenomenal lineup of stars. The Heat lead the NBA as a team in points scored and assists. Vegas has the Heat favored by 8 points and with the backcourt they possess, it is most likely a sure bet.
Miami has continuous scoring with star SF LeBron James leading the way. SG Dwyane Wade also brings potent scoring at the 2 spot with PF Chris Bosh’s steady game at the 3. PF Udonis Haslem and PG Mario Chalmers bring up the rear with a steady ability to provide assists and rebounds to support the Heat offensive game. The Heat look to make it deep in the playoffs this season after almost winning it all in 2011.
The Clippers have a long history of mediocrity under the ownership of Donald Sterling. However, things have changed in the last couple of years with breakout stars such as Blake Griffin changing the season-to-season destiny for Los Angeles’ “other team.” The Clips look to compete for a playoff invitation this year in the always-difficult Pacific Division.
