I suspect they'd be 2nd/3rd or 3rd/4th in the West. They're better than the Clippers and Rockets.
Being in the East has allowed them both to coast all season (at least the Heat anyway, the Pacers had that great start where they played with intensity every game), so I wouldn't pay all that much attention to their record in comparison with some of the West teams. If they were in the West, they'd be required to play each and every game much harder just to ensure the postseason.
