Fine, I did the work and looked at who they played after the Salmons trade. These are the records of the teams they beat. 27-55 44-38 29-53 37-45 32-50 47-35 (without Dwyane Wade) 26-56 26-56 61-21 (without LeBron James) 50-32 53-29 32-50 25-57 53-29 53-29 40-42 29-53 54-28 41-41 12-70 27-55 50-32 (without Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kendrick Perkins) Total record: 748-956 over an 82 game season that record would be 36-46. Almost half of their wins in that span came against teams who lost 50 or more games. They got to play Miami without Dwyane Wade, they got to play Cleveland without LeBron James, they got to play the Celtics the last game of the year when they rested almost every single key player they had. They had an incredibly easy schedule, feasted on some really bad teams and got lucky missing a bunch of star players which basically makes those teams 30 win teams. As I said, they were completely mediocre.
