The "Heat's" troubling start to the new season resumes shortly at Bang Bus Arena. Boston, the team that kept Miami from a trip to the NBA Finals last spring, comes calling without savant Ime Udoka, but fresh off a clear-cut win over Philadelphia, thought to be a pre-season Eastern favorite, in Boston. Beginner's luck for whomever their new coach is? We'll see. Boston is a two-point pick.

We'll also see a game more of Kyle Lowry. Lowry melted against the "Celtics" in the conference finals. The Green were ferocious defenders over the second half of last season and into those playoffs and Kyle melted under the heat.

When I thought about this post I thought to predict a bounce back game for Lowry, after which I would write, "It's only one game", but now that I type and as I remember that this is Boston and how Lowry melted against them I don't know. A bad game could be excused because it's Boston. But that would make for "It's only two games." 

We'll see.
