NBA, the year of win streaks

As I am writing this their are four NBA teams making a run. The Miami Heat have gone from a disappointment to where they should be, winning 8 straight games. That meeting with only the players, no coaches was very inspirational, they haven't lost since then. The Boson Celtics, arguably the best team in the NBA and probably the most complete are winners of 10 straight. Rajon Rondo is playing like the best point guard in the NBA and their bench is exceptionally good. The most surprising team of the four, the New York Knicks have won 8 straight. They started off the year 3-8 and since then, can't lose. Amar'e Stoudemire is playing like the MVP of the league. He has 8 consecutive games of at least 30 points. The Dallas Mavericks extended their win streak to 12 yesterday beating the Utah Jazz. The Mavs have always been a very good regular season team, but always fade in the playoffs. This year they are looking very good though.
College basketball has been very exciting. Already lots of upsets and key injuries. A very crucial injury that may affect the national title is #1 Duke's point guard, Kyrie Irving. Kyrie is one of the best freshman in the nation and without him this team isn't as strong. Ohio State really is looking like they are the team to beat. They are still undefeated and have a very good freshman, Jared Sullinger.
