			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By: Matt Bluesten</strong></p>
<p>Get ready to see the Miami Heat and the LA Lakers in the NBA Finals next season. This is the NBA Finals matchup that would be the best case scenario for the NBA. Also this would be extremely popular with the fans as well. We are talking about the two most talented teams in the NBA today.</p>
<p>LA began their championship juggernaut with Kobe has the superstar player and emotional leader of the team. Afterwards, they signed and acquired excellent role players such as Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Ron Artest.</p>
<p>In contrast, Miami decided to save up a tremendous amount of cap space and they also made sure to stay under the luxury tax threshold. The ultimate goal was to build a dynasty revolving around three great players.</p>
<p><a href="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Pau-Gasol-with-Kobe-Bryant-and-Andrew-Bynum-during-Media-Day-2008.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1181" title="Pau Gasol with Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum during Media Day 2008" src="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Pau-Gasol-with-Kobe-Bryant-and-Andrew-Bynum-during-Media-Day-2008.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a>After they convinced the three kings to come to Miami, they successfully recruited talented role players and savvy veterans to come along for the ride.</p>
<p>The Heat has what you can call specialists in different aspects of the game. The Heat has quality shooters, defenders, rebounders, shot blockers etc.</p>
<p>The Heat and Lakers potential rivalry could be both thrilling and dramatic.</p>
<p>As a result, I believe the NBA needs a new fierce rivalry just like the old Lakers and Celtics classic rivalry from the 80’s.</p>
<p>The main difference between the two teams is that the current Lakers team has three championship rings, while Miami’s dream team has not even played a single game yet. The current Lakers team is a proven commodity.</p>
<p>As a team, they have achieved true greatness. Most importantly, the Lakers are battle tested.</p>
<p>Interestingly, we don’t know what exactly to expect from the Miami Thrice. We know they are going to pile up tons of wins, and we know they are going to be very exciting to watch. I also want to put the so called chemistry issue to rest.</p>
<p>The bottom-line is they are going to figure it out right away. There is not going to be a learning curve for this team.</p>
<p>Each player is going to embrace his individual role. These three players are extremely selfless.</p>
<p>Each player shares the same mutual goal. The goal is to win multiple championships and to become a dynasty. The Heat is going to be revered and admired for years to come.</p>
<p>This is a bold proclamation indeed, but how can you not be in awe of this amazing talent coming together collectively for an old school philosophy. It’s all about winning and nothing else.</p>
<p>It’s not about the money. It’s not about the stats. It’s not about the business side of the NBA. At the end of the day, nothing is more important than winning.</p>
<p><a href="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/threekings5.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1182" title="Miami Heat Introduce LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade" src="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/threekings5.jpg" alt="" width="422" height="302" /></a>Wade, Bosh and LeBron are excellent friends and they all know what it takes to win.</p>
<p>All three players are very unselfish and they are willing to make the necessary amount of sacrifices in order to achieve championship glory.</p>
<p>The Heat’s Big Three is a lot better than the Lakers three key players. Who wouldn’t take LeBron, Wade and Bosh over Kobe, Gasol and Bynum?</p>
<p>I understand the Lakers three best players have been together for a while.  However, there is no denying the fact that the Heat’s three kings are by far the more dominating players.  Each of them alone could take over any game at any time.</p>
<p>The question is which team has the advantage?</p>
<p>Heading into this much anticipated season, I believe LA has the superior team. The bottom-line is they are proven winners.</p>
<p>However, I believe Miami thrice will give the Lakers a fierce battle and a run for their money.</p>
<p>The Heat has three superstar players in their primes. They are the younger and more energetic team. Also they are without a doubt the more talented team.</p>
<p>However, the Lakers have the championship swagger. They have the team cohesiveness and chemistry.</p>
<p>Therefore, they know how to win together and play together. Most importantly, they have the Black Mamba and the Lord of the Rings.</p>
<p>The Lakers are an extremely physical team and they have the mental toughness as well.</p>
<p>If this series goes down as expected it should be very compelling and fascinating. It will be a series in which you could not have scripted any better for a Hollywood movie. Ultimately, the deciding factor in the series will be which team plays with the most heart and also which team is the most inspired.</p>
<p>LeBron and Chris Bosh will both be competing for their first championship.</p>
<p>While Kobe will be going for his sixth title which means he will have the opportunity to tie Michael Jordan with six championships.</p>
<p>As far as the Zen Master is concerned, he will be going for his 11<sup>th</sup> ring. The window is closing for this Lakers team but the window is still slightly open for one more title run.</p>
<p>History for Miami will have to wait just one more year.</p>
<p>Prediction Lakers in 7</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two years ago, you were able to walk up to the American Airlines Arena for a regular season Miami Heat game and find decent prices for tickets for that game. You could probably sit a few rows behind the Heat bench for about $100, and the 400 level (the Nosebleeds) were going for $10. The Heat were so desperate to sell tickets that they came up with the idea to sell season tickets for $10 a game so that was $410 for the entire season.</p>
<p>But, the good old days are gone. Since the addition of LeBron James and Chris Bosh, Miami has seen a boost in ticket sales that are downright disgusting. The minute LeBron announced his decision, season tickets were sold out and the hunt for one mere ticket began.</p>
<p><a href="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/rileswade.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1165" title="Chicago Bulls v Miami Heat, Game 4" src="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/rileswade.jpg" alt="" width="238" height="358" /></a>A Fort Lauderdale ticket broker tells that some court-side seats for the Heat’s October 29 home-opener against the Orlando Magic are selling for $7,500-a-piece. “And if the Heat win their first 10-12 games, it’s going to go past $10,000,” said Todd Chitoff<strong> </strong>of ticketplayground.com</p>
<p>This ticket boom isn’t only happening in Miami but everywhere the Three Kings are headed. In Boston, Nosebleed ducats with face values around 50 bucks are going for an average of about $450, where the retooled Heat opens the season Oct. 26.  According to the website SeatGeek.com, which surveys ticket resale throughout the country, the two games are expected to be the two most expensive home openers of any NBA team.</p>
<p>Now, are you looking to be at the Heat/Cavaliers game on December 2? Well, don’t hold your breath; tickets are going for the minimum of $356. That’s a lot of money, but not even close to this next ridiculous price. Are you hoping Santa brings you two tickets for the Los Angeles/Miami game at the Staples Center on Christmas day? Well, the old guy won’t be able to pay the $900 price tag!</p>
<p>This is nonsense, and downright wrong. When will the regular average fan be able o watch their beloved Miami Heat? Well the simple answer to that is never.</p>
<div id="attachment_1166" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 266px"><a href="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/a-miami-heat-fan-lets-the-rest-of-the-world-know-how-he-feels-about-his-favorite-player.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1166  " title="Boston Celtics v Miami Heat" src="http://crankuptheheat.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/a-miami-heat-fan-lets-the-rest-of-the-world-know-how-he-feels-about-his-favorite-player.jpg" alt="" width="256" height="384" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">This Fan is another exception to the rule... But look at the people around him</p></div>
<p>It’s always been like that too, I remember having a theory two years ago and proving it right last season. Here’s the theory, the real die-hard, true Miami Heat fans are always sitting in the 300s and 400s where it’s cheap. The rich bandwagoners that could care less about the sport and let alone the team sit in the 100s. The people in the 300s and 400s are wearing their Heat jerseys, face painted, jumping up and down&#8230;for what? They will never be recognized in the jumbotron, but they should! They are the real fans! They are the ones that were behind their team for the good, the bad, and the ugly.</p>
<p>Yes, there are some exceptions to this rule. I have a friend who has 100 level season ticket and he’s a die-hard fan. I applaud him for this act of courage and sitting in the midst of all the business people and ignorant band wagoners. But usually the people who sit in the 100s don’t really care about the game; they care more about their status symbol. They come to the game with mini-skirts, or mini-dresses, or a dress shirt with a tie. It’s a basketball game for crying out loud, not a business meeting!</p>
<p>Here’s my proposal to the Miami Heat organization when it comes to ticket sales… Have a simple quiz. You know, basic Miami Heat questions that all true Miami Heat fan should know, like, Who’s the all-time leading scorer, who’s the franchise leader in assists, when was the team’s inaugural season, who were the starting five of the first ever Heat game in the inaugural season… you know, things like that. What players have their jerseys retired by the team… simple questions.</p>
<p>That would not only help the real fans, but it would also help weed out the fake fans. But hey, that’s just what I think&#8230; what do you guys think?</p>
<p>I suppose Wade was right when he said that every arena they come to would sell out.</p>
