This is the worst team to ever make a Finals.

[QUOTE=John8204;15011117]They were also 42-40, and got swept and creamed by KAJ and Oscar[/QUOTE]

They defeated the champ Knicks in 7 games on the road.

There are two aspects to the Pacers that are better than what OKC has seen so far.

1. coaching
2. depth

Whether that's enough to make things interesting, we'll have to see.

Who beat them in 74', 73', 72', 70', and 69'. If you're playing against the same team every year for over half a decade and you have multiple hall of famers on your roster it's not that impressive that you won a single series.

I also put Miami on the list and they beat two future champs (Bucks, and Celtics).

The Bullets were a very good team during that stretch. They were the Knicks toughest competition in the East, until Boston got Cowens. And the main competition in the west was the Lakers and the Bucks. And it’s not just the presence of the hall of famers. Johnson,Monroe and Unseld were all stars that year. On top of that, they had Loughery, who was very underrated, and Jack Marin, who was quite good as a fourth/fifth option.



The worst teams to make the finals that I’ve seen are the Kidd Nets, Iverson Sixers, and LeBrons first Cavs squad.

:roll: ^This guy was already known for having a terrible bball IQ after saying Tom Brady was the biggest choker in the NBA, but saying the Pacers are no better than the 2020 Heat comes close to that dumb.

I would LOVE to see Dudley try to double down on this one. :lol

This is what OKC makes so good.

1. Refs

I just seen sga elbow a mfer drop down buckle and travel 3 steps in to baseline baby jumper. They got homecooking without even playing at home.

For the 1st time in 7 years, i was actually wrong. I know its shocking. I can actually be wrong on a take. The pacers are legit. Its still thunder in 7

Yep, this is probably the biggest no-brainer ever.

too many to count

2009 MAGIC
2007 CLE
2001 PHI
2020 HEAT (probably the worst team ever to make it to BUBBLE Finals)
