Nah. That was the 70’s. But yeah, it spilled into the 80’s too. There’s a great video on Michael Ray Richardson talking about the NBA cocaine problem in that era. It’s still a problem to this day, it’s just not talked about and at least during the season you won’t see a lot of players out at night. With everyone carrying phones that record EVERYTHING, substance abuse is being done at home instead of out in public today. For the most part.

Clips are 100% cursed.

[@sampoole4530]

Facts... they choked. That clips squad was the 2nd best team in the from the spurs to the warriors run, and they’ll nevercapitalized on the chances they had

[@mrmacross]

I think the biggest take home of the 2014-2015 playoffs is that the Clippers choked. However, they also were kind of screwed heading into the playoffs. They were tied with Houston for the second best record in the East, and the Clippers had a better intraconference record than Houston. Also, they had a better point differential, so they had the better regular season performance. However, because of the archaic playoff seeding rules that were in place that season, Houston got the #2 seed because they won their division, whereas the Clippers were a distant second behind Golden State. Maybe if the Clippers had home court advantage in that series against Houston, they win the series? I don't know, but I'm glad the NBA changed the rules and no longer award higher seeds just because you won your division. It's not like the Clippers and Rockets played significantly different schedules. In short, the NBA needed a tiebreaker for Houston and LAC that year, and the rules said that Houston should win the tiebreaker for no other reason than GSW was really, really good. I hope fans understand that this makes no sense whatsoever.

[@sampoole4530]

That's a good point. Clippers luck striking again.... In my NBA viewing life I can't think of a better team that never made the Finals in spite of several seasons at the top.

To be fair to the Raptors and Grizzlies both teams couldn't have the #1 pick for the first 4 or 5 years of their existence. It was part of the deal of them getting expansion teams. Something none of these other teams had to deal with. Raptors actually won the Iverson draft but because of the expansion deal couldn't pick 1st.

NBA is the toughest spot to win a title or even get to the finals in. So 7 teams of 30 never made the Finals, compare that to the NFL where only 4 of 32 teams never made a Super Bowl, the NHL where only 4 of 31 have never made the Stanley Cup Final or MLB where only 2 of 30 teams haven’t made a World Series. This is why MLB locally draws better ratings in 14 of the 18 markets where the MLB and NBA have teams. It makes sense, if you’re an NBA fan chances are you’re either a Warriors or Lebron fan, if you’re a Minnesota fan you’re not going be a hardcore Timberwolves fan because know you have little to no chance of ever reaching an NBA finals or winning a title. The NBA has always sold individual players and it’s been a successful strategy because if you live in Milwaukee or any of these places in fly over country you know your team isn’t winning a championship unless you hit the lottery. I’m 36 and have seen my Pistons win 3 NBA Titles, they really defied the odds every time especially the 2004 team over the Lakers, now with our hall of fame owner passing away in 2009 they’ve become fodder like most of the league. I think you have be a hardcore hoops head to get pumped about the NBA and especially support your local team that is fodder for the Warriors, Lebron, Celtics. Who was last teams to make a finals for the first time? I think it was Cleveland in 2007 with Lebron along with Miami and Dallas in 2006, Miami had Wade and Shaq still in his prime and the Mavericks Dirk. In NHL the expansion Vegas Golden Knights made the Stanley Cup Final in their first season, NBA you have teams around 30-40 years still never made it.
