I Wonder How Many Teams....

[ABM]

..have missed the playoffs the previous year (let alone years....), then get HCA in the 1st Round?

I'd bet not many.

 

[ABM]

I guess the Hornets and Boston have done it.

 

[crandc]

I think the Spurs did the year all their players were injured and they got lucky and drafted Tim Duncan. But the Spurs had been a playoff team for years, they just had one off year.

Toronto two years ago.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

76-77 Blazers?

 

[ehizzy3]

boston last year

 

[KingSpeed]

boston last year

yea and they won the whole thing

there are many examples of this, ABM

 

[KingSpeed]

off the top of my head--- '90 Spurs, '98 Spurs, '94 Magic, '04 Heat, '06 Cavs, '08 Celtics

 

[Draco]

w/o a major trade/injury/lottery pick I bet not many.

 

[BasX]

To add to my Toronto one, they got the 3rd seed in the playoffs after having the Number 1 Pick the previous year. But ya it happens a good amount.

The 76-77 Blazers!

"Off the top of your head"??? Seriously? I don't know anyone who stores that kind of trivia in their head. You must be a genius.

Off the top of his head after doing a small google search of course.

Nope. I knew that stuff off the top of my head. No googling. I'm sure there were others too. I know nothing before 1990 though.

From 1990 to now, I don't think anyone knows the NBA better than I do.

 

[KingSpeed]

I should add that I know almost zero about college basketball and I'm not very good at telling you where some players played. Once they're in the NBA, though, I'm on top of it.

No bones about it.

LOL! Are you being sarcastic? If not, I'm no longer a regular on "Bones" but I will be in the finale on May 14th.
