Miami Favored to Win 2013 NBA Title, but it Won't Happen

Are the Miami Heat the favorites to win the National Basketball Association title in 2013? According to Bovada's NBA futures odds, the Heat were installed as 11-to-4 favorites to repeat as world champs less than 24 hours following their 4-1 series win over the Oklahoma City Thunder during the 2012 NBA Finals.

I will have to pick the Lakers with the addition of Nash. They could have done better if they have gotten Jeremy Lin. I think JL will have a better season than Nash.

This article is simply moronic Heat Hate. The only reasoning offered is to always pick the underdog? That's Betty White Weak. The Champs just got significantly better in the offseason. Time for Heat Haters to keep worrying into 2013.

Howard going to the Lakers? Not likely, too many stars in place there to squash his ego. Nash and Bryant are on their downsides.

I'd say OKC or Miami

who knows really?...OKC will be stronger (with same lineup)and experience and Lakers might pull off a surprise with added power...hard to tell really.

With the addition of Nash and posibly D. Howard , I would have to pick the Lakers. But it is up to the coaching staff as to how to use their pieces.

I'm not a Lakers fan... but you are already wrong, they got Howard. Now where's your argument?

Uhh he's coming off of major back surgery?

LA have a cancer called KoMe who loves hogging the ball and going one on five. Last year he froze out Pau and Bynum and at times the other four Lakers were just standing around. Lakers have the best team on paper but they will not win if KoMe leads.

When a grown man calls himself Snowflake, you know the issues are deep.

He's probably wearing pink tights and a Kobe jersey 3 sizes too small LOL

Having said that. Perhaps he should audition for the next TLC Toddlers and Tieras show. Honey boo boo anyone?

You guys are lucky that I am peaceful, I am 6'8" and 280 lbs of muscle, don't push me too far , I have a few friends in San Francisco who are into whipping.

A person who is peaceful would NEVER entertain such thoughts.

Also, why am I not surprised that you have a few "friends" living in San Francisco who are into whipping? Pulp Fiction style, right?

Get em' Zed!

Sorry, mistake, they r into spanking.

Spanking now and SanFrancisco. Chee Gino you live a very interesting life pal. Dilusional, half Chinese, former nba legend,man of muscle, a hooded Klansmen, and now a Dungeon whipping boy getting slapped in San Fran.
Iam not sure we are that intimidated by a 6ft 8 200 plus guy named snowflake. Then again with Tinkerbell friends into slapping, that explains everything.

[Sam]

Oh wait I should say spanking as you say. Slapping would be too agressive for Snowflake to handle.

I will really celebrate when the Lakers are knocked off in the first round in 2013 bc I have told u guys to get rid of KoMe seven years ago.
with all the money the Lakers have they can have a better team. The Lakers could have gotten Lebron from Cleveland in an even trade with KoMe and perhaps one draft pick.

I said Howard isn't likely to go to the Lakers. I did not say he won't. Do you know the difference? They still teach English down in PR, right?

Now where's your argument?

I thought you said you were a "LongtimeLakerfan"?

That was the first moniker you used when you started trolling here 4 years ago...Did you think I forgot?

So, why would you celebrate the Lakers losing now? Kobe was part of that team 4 years ago , last I checked...
