Are the Heat about to run off a big winning streak?

On Thursday, Miami took down the 2 time defending champs snapping the Lakers' 8 game winning streak and their own 5 game losing streak.  A seismic shift like this sometimes leads to aftershocks.  In their first game since that big win, El Heat is currently leading Memphis 55-37 at the half with all 3 $100,000,000 men tied for the team lead with 14 points each.

This is an indication that the team might be over their previous dynamics problem.  It makes perfect sense to give Bosh an equally prominent role in the offense to match his equal paycheck.  That was supposed to be the plan all along, right?

Miami is in the middle of facing a gauntlet of some of the toughest teams in the league (Lakers, Grizzlies, Spurs, Thunder, Hawks, Nuggets; 213-113 combined record).  If they can ride the rebound effect of beating the Lakers and can win these six (the Spurs and thunder are obviously the biggest threat of these) they will face a soft 9 game stretch (Pistons, 76ers, Rockets, Cavs, Wizards, Timberwolves, Nets, Bucks, and Bobcats; 233-375 combined)

I'm going to say that they'll probably win 12 of these 15, but it is not beyond the possibility that they might run off as many as 15 straight wins.  That's my prediction.
