Heat president Pat Riley thinks this team is better than just the second best in the East, he thinks they can go all the way.
That’s what he said on the Dan Le Batard Show,as transcribed by Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
“I think this team has all of the elements of a championship team,” he said. “Whether or not you can ever win a championship will depend on a number of factors. I can list them and you can list them. It’s going to come down to this, health,… performance and this guy and that guy. It’s going to come down to can you make shots?…
“I think this team has the opportunity and the possibilities of being a contender. That’s where you start with a team like this. We have an opportunity to create a new first. That’s how I feel about this team…. I’m excited about this season.”
The Cavaliers aren’t the only team standing in the way. Several teams have gotten better during the offseason and it’ll be quite a challenge.
