It would seem most people around the League, be it fans, media, even fellow opposition would be impressed by a 20 game win streak.
Well….. not the Boston Celtics.
Chris Forsberg posted a piece on ESPN today where he spoke to Jason Terry about the Heats mammoth win-streak.
Here’s what Terry had to say about it…

Amare Stoudemire has reportedly punched a fire extinguisher casing outside the Knicks locker room immediately following his sides loss to the Miami Heat in Game 2 of the Playoffs today. It’s been said that Stoudemire left the venue with his left hand heavily bandaged and the news that he had received stitches.
So….. here we go, it’s that time of year again.
The NBA Playoffs are what we as ‘ball fans relish, players playing out of their skins, entertaining to the wire match ups. This is what it’s all about.
With this being us at NBA Nation Australia’s first year in the Playoffs, we’ve decided to do something special. We have invited some good friends along for the ride also.
So sit back, have a read through and allow us to hype you up more than you already are for the 2012 NBA Playoffs.
Starting with the Eastern Conference Playoff match-ups.
With this being the second from last Power Rankings before the Playoff, it’s been a very entertaining week with some big matchup’s. Boston beating Miami on the road, then getting beat by Toronto at the end of it. Chicago beating both Miami and New York at home while also losing to the Knicks on the road. The Lakers also beat reigning champions Dallas. In a time of the regular season where legs are rested, and teams being to ‘tank’ how did your team fair up in our weekly Power Rankings. Catch up with NBA Nation Australia same time next week for the last regular season Power Rankings.
1. Chicago Bulls (46-15)
With the return of Rose this week, the Bulls continued their strong finish to the regular season. Beating New York, Miami & Detroit this week with only one loss against the Knicks on the road Chicago continue to look the team most certain of a Finals appearance. With the current best record in the league and obviously the best percentage (.754) the Bulls continue to dominate and top our Power Rankings this week.
2. Oklahoma City Thunder (44-17)
While the Thunder topped most Power Rankings last week and could very well top a lot this week, we at NBA Nation Australia believe Chicago did just enough by beating teams of Playoff worth to pip Thunder to the top spot. Still, a very strong week playing 5 games and winning 4 of those, with more than convincing wins against Toronto, Milwaukee, Sacremento, and Minnesota. With Durant and Westbrook still continuing to tear it’s way through the league, and KD still in run for the MVP spot the Thunder still have one of the best records in the league. With a great win percentage of .721, and another strong week, the Thunder sit at out number 2 spot. Continue reading
