Boy, weren't the 1980s filled with superb basketball played by men at the peak of their greatness?
Remember the 1980-81 Dallas Mavericks, led by Geoff Huston's 16.1 ppg and Jim Spanarkel's 14.4 ppg, who finished 15-67? Or the 21-61 Detroit Pistons of that year? Shoulda contracted them.
Maybe they could have contracted the 1891-82 Cavs, who won just 15 games. Or the Clippers, who played in San Diego and went 17-65. (Come to think of it, maybe that would have been a good idea.)
The 20-win Pacers of 1982-83 could have been kicked out of the league, though Clark Kellogg and his 20.1 ppg wouldn't have had anywhere to play (well, maybe they could have put him on the awesome Lakers or 76ers).
The Pacers sucked again in 1984-85, winning just 22 games. So did the Golden State Warriors, who won the same amount. So perhaps the Pacers should have been booted.
Contracting those Clippers would have saved us from their ineptitude in 1986-87 when they won just 12 games. Or the next season when they won just 17.
Hell, they should have contracted the Nets back in 1987-88 when they went 19-63.
Man, the 1980s were filled with awesome teams who all had superstars and whose games should be replayed over and over again on television instead of showing us today's players.
Hell, maybe they should just retract the whole damn rigged league. There's been, what, five different champions the last 30 years?
(revisionist history is always fun in both sports and other items! It's especially fun when it's the whore of Akron doing it!)
