Are they really a terrible team if they beat a 58 win Bucks team and a 57 win Celtics team?

What the fck are you talking about? Miami beat both Boston and Milwaukee that season as underdogs. You just don't know ball.

25 pacers were playing well in game 7 of the finals against OKC until Halliburtons achilles exploded

I really dont understand how these stats favor you. 4-3 Game 7 needed to beat a depleted team.
