Best Basketball Team

For this 82 action project, we had to chose a team and a specific year they played in and why they are so great. The team and year I chose was the 2011-2012 Miami Heat. What I learned was that everyone needs to be fair in there argument and not biased. The purpose of this was to see what team we think is the best and to only base it on stats. Below is the video and why I think the 2011-2012 Miami Heat is the best team.       

                        

Why so great?:

- Came back from huge loss in 2010-11 vs. the Mavericks. Showed how much they wanted to be the best.

- In the season they won 46 games and lost 20 games. (2011 lockout) 66 games.

- They had the “Big Three” Dwyane Wade,  LeBron James, and Chris Bosh.  For the second year in a row, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, and Chris Bosh were all selected to the NBA All-Star Game, tying the record for the most Heat players in an All-Star game in franchise history.

- LeBron was the top player scoring 672 points in the playoffs. LeBron was made NBA Finals MVP.

- They were fighting to stay in the Eastern Conference. Then once they won in the semifinals,

they went on to a winning streak vs. the Boston Celtics.  

- Great teamwork. They had 1317 assists.

- They won their division for the 9th time and appeared in the Eastern Conference Finals for the 5th time.
