The "Have Your Random NBA Question Answered" Thread

[Murat]

Are there any teams that they won the previous season's championship, but they cant enter to playoffs (ex. 1977-78 Champs, 1978-79 Eliminated at Regular Season)

[Rip32]

Following their 1968-69 title, the Boston Celtics fell dramatically, going 34-48 in the 1969-70 season and finishing sixth in the seven-team Eastern Conference. The loss of many key players hurt the Celtics.

Similarly, the loss of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Steve Kerr, and head coach Phil Jackson decimated the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls went from celebrating a second three-peat in June of 1998 (and a 62-20 regular season record) to winning just 13 games in the lockout-shortened 1998-99 season.

Thanks...

what happens when you don't have enough players on your roster when the season begins?

[Andrew]

I don't think that's possible, it's a requirement teams need to fill. I don't think it would ever come to that anyway as teams tend to have more than fifteen players on their roster during training camp and make cuts to get back to a maximum of fifteen.

You know Badger, he shows hints of dim-wittedness.

If you ask me, he pretty much spells it out, let alone any hints.

[Axel The Great]

Yes, a guy who can't bear sports video games with jersey bugs, but can withstand gameplay bugs, is dim-witted.

Cleveland played a match with 8 players + 4 D-League additions...

Cavs had injuries and team reduced to 8... After this they added 4 guys from D-League...

Eight is the minimum, though, not twelve.

Yeh...

Absolutely not. Saying that you (Badger) are autistic is highly insulting to autistic people.

Ha, that was so good, JaoSming even made that his signature.

And yet they were able to beat the Blazers.

Who was the youngest scoring champ before Kevin Durant? This question isn't of much importance but it's been bugging me.

[benji]

Bob McAdoo at age 22 in 1974.

LeBron James, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain all led the league in scoring at 23.

[Axel The Great]

Thx benji.
