Did the NL finally win an all-star game? That took long enough. An NL team will finally have home field advantage in the World Series. But do they deserve it? Three of the five best teams are in the AL. There are more AL teams at .500 The two best teams are in the AL, and it looks like they are their own best competition. Whoever wins the ALCS will run over an NL team in the World Series, as no NL team has broken out and proven they can win over the Yankees and the Rays. All this means is that whoever wins the ALCS will win the World Series at home in game 4 or 5 instead of on the road later on.

The Heat have also amassed three big superstars this offseason. It reminds several of people of the Celtics acquiring their big 3. However the Celtics did a lot of their damage with support players and always had a very strong bench. The big 3 were also veterans, on the decline, and would have lost some shots anyway. Whereas the Heat have 3 players in their prime who will all want the ball. They will have trouble satisfing all of them.
