RandyMarsh Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 I wonder if the lack of 60 win teams in the 70s had anything to do with the ABA merger? Seems kinda random that period is the only time in history that had a stretch like that. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 20, 2023 Author Posted February 20, 2023 They had a huge coke problem in the 70's. I am guessing that had a lot to do with it. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 20, 2023 Author Posted February 20, 2023 I honestly do not understand how a GM thinks bringing Westbrook in is a good idea. 1 Quote
Shinzaki Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 In the 70's...you had 18 teams prior to the ABA folding. That took the league to 22, but also created an influx of talent. The ABA had a lot of talented forwards and guards...maybe more so than the NBA at that point. As a result, you had a lot of very closely matched teams...a lack of meaningful FA movement prevented teams from building a Super Team. The talent was distributed more evenly and there really wasn't a mechanism in place to allow teams to build other than through the draft and trades. Look at how long it took to build the Bad Boys. The foundation was built in 81-83, but they didn't have all the pieces to actually contend until 86-87 and then it took a couple more years of tinkering to get over the top. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 20, 2023 Author Posted February 20, 2023 2 of the 5 no 60 win seasons were before the merger. Quote
buddha Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 there's an argument that russ is the least valuable player in the league if you consider how much he dominates the ball. Quote
Shinzaki Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 Without looking...I'm going to guess that the pre merger 60 wins seasons involved Wilt and/or Kareem Quote

buddha Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 patbev signing with the bulls is perfect symmetry. the player i hate the most signing for the team i like the least. the only thing better was if the bulls signed westbrook and brought in steve kerr to coach. Quote
Hongbit Posted February 20, 2023 Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) I made the mistake of watching part of that catastrophe last night. I’m damaged to the point of not knowing if I can watch another NBA game for a while. Edited February 20, 2023 by Hongbit Quote
buddha Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 all star game ratings fell to their lowest level ever. by far. Quote
Deleterious Posted February 23, 2023 Author Posted February 23, 2023 They kind of buried the lede. They are only 3 games behind the 4th seed and 4 games behind the 3rd seed. Quote
buddha Posted February 23, 2023 Posted February 23, 2023 poetic justice would be for all of okc's stars to get hurt now, since when theyre not winning they always make them sit for this part of the season. 1 Quote
Deleterious Posted February 24, 2023 Author Posted February 24, 2023 Third time this season he had 7 blocks in a game. Quote
RandyMarsh Posted February 24, 2023 Posted February 24, 2023 So the Jazz get a kings ransom for Rudy and then basically replace him with a guy they drafted in the back of the 1st a couple weeks prior? Nice! Quote
