Boston accounted for 11 of those 37 championships in the 50s and 60s.

So just throw those out since you guys say you don't respect any records from back in the day.

And THE STREAK continues.

My Spurs almost beat them with only our bench players. Enough said...

25 in a row is pretty damn impressive.

Nope, they couldn't pull this off in the West. The Eastern Conference is very soft by comparison.

you do realize that East teams also play west teams right?

Heat have beaten Clippers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Lakers and Rockets during this streak.

also the Nuggets are on a 14 game winning streak.......

The Eastern Conference has been weak for at least a decade now with no signs of improvement. Chicago and even Orlando at the time showed some hope, but it's pretty much gone now. So the Heat would've had difficulty building this type of streak in West. I know Heat have a good win percentage in the west, but by far the west is more competitive and the wear and tear on the players would have eventually caught up to them.

With that being said, it's still pretty impressive. Just go ahead and write them off as Champions. Right now I don't see them losing more then 2 games in the entire playoffs... I hope someone snaps that streak soon

all those teams they beat have been pretty banged up

no rose
no rondo
no granger
no gasol
no bynum
no melo

heck, the cavs didnt even have Kyrie and Varejao when they came back

Melo got injured after that home game versus Miami...

Regardless, this is an impressive streak regardless of who does it...It's been pretty contagious though...The Spurs had that 20 game streak going into the playoffs last year, the Clippers had that 17 game win streak earlier this season, and Denver has their streak going.
