The Miami Heat aren't the type to get jealous of other NBA teams. Sure, they might covet others' elites from time to time, but the way coach Erik Spoelstra tells it, they always have enough.
It's fair to wonder, though, if they might feel at least a tinge of envy on opening night when they lock horns with their in-state—and Southeast Division—rivals, the Orlando Magic. Because in this Sunshine State-based battle for basketball supremacy, it sure feels like the Magic have a lot of what the Heat want.
Orlando's stars are brighter, its defense is stingier, its summer splash was splashier, and external expectations for this team are a whole lot rosier than they are for Miami.
