Heat Internet numbers still high

The Heat might be the worst team in the NBA this season, but that doesn’t mean it’s not getting any notice.

The Heat ranked fourth in the number of visits to its Web site, according to the NBA, behind only the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Boston Celtics -- and each of those teams is headed to the playoffs. In addition, Heat guard Dwyane Wade’s page ranked 10th in popularity among player sites. For the second consecutive season, Los Angeles Laker guard Kobe Bryant’s page ranked first among player sites and Laker forward Pau Gasol’s page ranked first among international player sites.

Overall, visits to nba.com are up from last season. The site averaged more than 5.3 million daily visits during 2007-08 up 57 percent from 2006-07, and 23.7 million daily page views, up 42 percent from the previous year, the NBA reported.
