yea but even at full strength I do feel like Miami benefited off a Pacers team w/o a healthy Oladipo, an MVP with no go to offensive game, and they were flat out better than Boston...LA been going up against players leading teams who were legit top 10 players (they just have 2 were also in that group as well)...There's a reason why this team (Miami) was building towards trying to get Giannis...Butler is good but he ain't that guy & Bam still has a ways to go
The East's talent level isn't up to par with what's out West
