The Maiami Heat

The Miami heat have been the main team to make a splash in this 2010 NBA free agency. Signing 3 big names to try to bring the fame back to the South Beaches of Florida. Dwayne Wade Has been with the Heat since they drafted him tin the early 2000's out of Marquette. He was mainly the one the Heat wanted to go after because Miami loved him and was always there to make the big plays and whenever the game was on the line you knew the ball was going to him. That might just have changed though because when the Heat signed Wade who was probably the second best player in free agency immediately after they signed the 3rd best player in Chris Bosh. Now the Heat looked as if they were going to have probably a very good chance to make the playoffs and even advance into later rounds. Then The next day Lebron James was making his decision of his future team. Leron probably being the best player in free agency was making his decision and it was big because the team he was going to next year would immediately have a chance to make a run in the playoffs. So on ESPN Lebron made the decision to go join Wade and Bosh in Miami. Now the favoite team by far in the East has to be the Heat because I believe it has the 3 of the five best players in the league. The other best players are Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant.

The Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds are one of the most suprising teams in baseball. The Reds are in second place in the NL Central a half game behind the Cardinals and lead the wild card. The only problem is that they do have a little bit lack of experience except for Scott Rolen and Bronson Arroyo. Arroyo did when a world series while he was with the Red Sox and he beat Scott Rolen's Cards in a four game sweep. They do have that experience which might be key in the long run, but how are the youngsters Like Jay Bruce, Joey Votto, Drew Stubbs, and even Brandon Phillips going to hold up and will the fade in the big moments down to the wire in the race for the division or the wild card. Another strength the Reds have on their side is starting pitching Arroyo is his last three starts is 3-0 with a 1.29 era other starters are Johnny Cueto 9-2 Mike Leake 7-1 Travis Wood 0-1 but still ccarries a 2.20 era with him. Also they can throw the newly added Edinson Volquez who just came of the DL with Tommy John surgery last August, who in his last start threw 6 innings 3 hits 1 walk 1 run and 9 k's with his velocity in the mid to high 90's. The Reds going into the All star break had a 1 game lead over the cardinals but they had one extra day off than cardinals and unfortunatly they haven't lost since the mid summer classic.The Reds have not been terrible since the break only losing one. But the one loss was that straw that broke the camels back which in this case was the division lead and they leap froged the Reds into the lead. Now the Reds will have to keep winning because the Cardinals are not just going to lay over and let you take their glory so I expect a tight race to the finish but I believe the Reds win the division by 1 game.
