    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.

    ^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.

    2020 Heat

    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)
