This is coming from the same network that said the 2011 Heat would go 73-9 & break the Lakers 33 game winning streak

I also remember them saying that "The Spurs window is officially closed for a championship" about three years ago :coleman:

These predictions aren't even close... The closest one they had was predicting four less wins for the Spurs than they actually got... The worst was in the 2011 season whenThey predicted 48 wins and the Spurs got 61.

I only care enough about predictions to say I don't care about predictions.
