1. BUFFALO BILLS
2. CLEVELAND BROWNS
3. PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
4. PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES
5. UTAH JAZZ
Last title: Never Seasons: 26 Playoffs: 20 Winning seasons: 20
Finals losses: 2 (2)
Did you know? In their first year in Utah (1979-'80), the Jazz featured
Adrian Dantley, Pete Maravich and Bernard King. We're not sure how many games
they actually played together (Maravich played just 17 games before being
traded to Boston and King 19), but how many teams have had three players who
averaged over 30 points a game at some point in their career? OK, Maravich
was a hobbled shell by then and King spent most of the season in treatment
for substance abuse, but Jazz fans must have been disappointed with a 24-58
record.
Soul-sucking moment: Jordan over Bryon Russell.
P & S rating: 4.58 (nine Michael Jordans) [原文有附圖]
6. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
Last title: 1977 Seasons: 29 Playoffs: 25 Winning seasons: 23
Finals losses: 2 (2)
Low point: Umm, we don't have the time or space to delve into a complete
history of the Jail Blazers.
Soul-sucking moment: Blowing a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter of Game 7
of the 2000 Western Conference finals against the Lakers. Since then: (A) the
Lakers won three straight titles; (B) the Blazers haven't won a playoff
series; (C) saw their streak of 21 straight playoff seasons end; (D) employed
Ruben Patterson for 4+ seasons; (E) finished with the worst record in the
league in 2005-06; (F) re-signed Joel Przybilla for $32 million.
P & S rating: 4.38 (nine Sam Bowies)
9. SEATTLE SONICS
Last title: 1979 Seasons: 27 Playoffs: 18 Winning seasons: 17
Finals losses: 1 (1)
Soul-sucking moment: With Michael Jordan in retirement, the Sonics had the
NBA's best record in 1993-94, going 63-19. They then blew a 2-0 series lead
to the Nuggets, dropping the final three games (the finale in OT at home),
becoming the first team to lose to an eighth seed.
We're not saying they were chokers, but ... The next year, Seattle won 57
games and lost to the pre-Shaq Lakers in the first round.
P & S rating: 4.00 (eight Dikembe Mutombos)
11. NEW JERSEY NETS
Last title: Never Seasons: 28 Playoffs: 15 Winning seasons: 12
Finals losses: 2 (2)
Amazingly: The Nets have made the playoffs 15 times since moving to New
Jersey for the '77-78 season, but have won 50 games just once.
Low point: The 1990 Nets went 17-65, featuring Dennis Hopson, Chris Morris,
Sam Bowie, Purvis Short, Mookie Blaylock, Charles Shackleford, Joe Barry
Carroll and Derrick Gervin. Seriously, has there have been a more electric
group of former college stars, flameouts and burnouts? The Nets must have
averaged about 4.6 assists per game that year. Gervin certainly had some of
his older brother's scoring abilities, averaging 12.0 points in 16 minutes
per game in the 21 games he played. He also handed out eight assists ...
total. Anyway, the Nets secured the No. 1 pick by losing 22 of their final 24
games.
P & S rating: 3.96 (eight Derrick Colemans)
15. NEW YORK KNICKS
Last title: 1973 Seasons: 33 Playoffs: 21 Winning seasons: 17
Finals losses: 2 (2)
Before Isiah ... There were the '85-87 Knicks, who won 24, 23 and 24 games. A
string of 14 straight playoff seasons followed, including two losses in the
NBA Finals. It could be argued that losing the '94 Finals to the Rockets in
seven games provided a soul-sucking moment, since the Knicks lost Game 6
86-84 when Hakeem Olajuwon tipped John Starks' shot at the buzzer and then
lost Game 7 when Starks shot 2 for 18 and Pat Riley refused to bench him. In
truth, however, the Knicks deserve no extra pain points since they nearly
destroyed the NBA during this period with their brand of basketball.
P & S rating: 3.70 (seven Isiah Thomases)
22. INDIANA PACERS
Last title: 1973 (ABA) Seasons: 33 Playoffs: 21 Winning seasons: 14
Finals losses: 1 (1)
Not listed: Since 1994, the Pacers have lost five times in the Eastern
Conference finals aside from their loss to the Lakers in the 2000 Finals.
P & S rating: 3.33 (seven Chuck Persons)
24. CLEVELAND CAVALIERS
Last title: Never Seasons: 36 Playoffs: 14 Winning seasons: 15
Finals losses: 0
Low point: The team employed four coaches while going 15-67, including 19
straight losses to end the season, in 1981-'82. Owner Ted Stepien made so
many horrible trades during this period that the NBA eventually would give
Cleveland top-10 picks in the '85 and '86 drafts.
Soul-sucking moment: Jordan over Craig Ehlo.
P & S rating: 3.25 (seven Michael Jordans)
25. DALLAS MAVERICKS
Last title: Never Seasons: 26 Playoffs: 12 Winning seasons: 12
Finals losses: 1 (1)
Before Mark Cuban: It's easy to forget as the Mavs' roll to the best record
in the league and their third 60-win season in five years, but before Cuban
they suffered 10 straight losing seasons, including the 1992-93 team that
went 11-71 (including 4-57 through 61 games). That team was outscored by the
incredible margin of 114.5 to 99.3 per game, and had losing streaks of 12,
15 and 19 games (they actually finished strong, winning their final two).

P & S rating: 3.23 (six Toni Braxtons)
29. PHOENIX SUNS
Last title: Never Seasons: 38 Playoffs: 26 Winning seasons: 23
Finals losses: 2 (1)
Low point: The Suns generally have been successful, with 15 50-plus win
seasons, two Finals appearances and a long list of star players. But in 1987,
three players were arrested on drug charges (with star forward Walter Davis
giving testimony under immunity) and the team went on to finish 28-54 that
season. Needless to say, team continuity was probably a little lacking that
season. (The Suns quickly turned the franchise around by trading for Kevin
Johnson and signing Tom Chambers as a free agent.)
P & S rating: 3.03 (six Charles Barkleys)
35. WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Last title: 1978 Seasons: 28 Playoffs: 11 Winning seasons: 8
Finals losses: 1
The bleak years: 1998-2004, seven straight losing seasons with no playoffs,
a 19-63 record in 2001, which led to the ill-fated MJ comeback and No. 1
overall draft selection of Kwame Brown.
The really bleak years: 1992-1996, when the then-Bullets won 25, 22, 24 and
21 games (ahh, Wes Unseld was quite the tactical genius). The three leading
scorers on the '94 team were Don MacLean, Tom Gugliotta and Rex Chapman …
when was the last time that happened?
The bleakness of mediocrity: From '83 to '89, the artists formerly known as
the Bullets won between 38 and 42 games each year. And never advanced beyond
the first round of the playoffs.
P & S rating: 2.82 (six Michael Jordans)
39. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Last title: 1975 Seasons: 31 Playoffs: 7 Winning seasons: 9
Finals losses: 0
Ineptitude: There is no other way to describe this franchise, currently
riding a 12 consecutive losing/non-playoff season streak. Included was the
remarkable 1998-2002 stretch, in which the team went 19-63, 21-29, 19-63,
17-65 and 21-61.
Worst trade ever? The Warriors traded Robert Parish and the No. 3 pick to
Boston for the Nos. 1 and 13 picks. The Warriors took Joe Barry Carroll and
Rickey Brown while the Celtics drafted … Kevin McHale.
P & S rating: 2.65 (five Joe Barry Carrolls)
41. MILWAUKEE BUCKS
Last title: 1971 Seasons: 35 Playoffs: 23 Winning seasons: 20
Finals losses: 1
OK, so they traded Kareem: How different would the NBA be if the Bucks hadn't
traded Abdul-Jabbar for Junior Bridgeman, Brian Winters, Elmore Smith and
David Meyers? Would it even exist? (No Kareem/Magic combo, no Lakers-Celtics
rivalry, David Stern becomes NHL commissioner instead.)
The 1980s: You kids out there may not realize how good the Bucks were in the
'80s -- just not as good as the Celtics or Sixers. Led by guys like Sidney
Moncrief, Terry Cummings, Paul Pressey, Marques Johnson, Ricky Pierce, Jack
Sikma and Bob Lanier (not all at the same time), they won 50 or more games
seven straight seasons and reached the conference semifinals or finals in
each of them.
P & S rating: 2.60 (five Paul Mokeskis)
42. ATLANTA HAWKS
Last title: Never Seasons: 37 Playoffs: 23 Winning seasons: 9
Finals losses: 0
Low point: Well, there was that little 13-69 blip in '04-'05. Thank you,
Billy Knight!
P & S rating: 2.59 (five Billy Knights)
43. DENVER NUGGETS
Last title: Never Seasons: 39 Playoffs: 24 Winning seasons: 20
Finals losses: 0
Low point: Well, there was that little 20-62 blip in 1990-91. And that 21-61
blip in 1996-97. And that 17-65 blip in 2002-03. But you can't top 11-71 from
1998 -- one of the sorriest excuses for a pro team you'll ever see. In fact,
that team deserves a few random notes:
1. Bill Hanzlik was the coach. You'll be shocked to read that was his only
season as a head coach.
2. The Nuggets were outscored 100.8 to 89.0 on average, ranking 28th of 29th
teams in offense (points per 100 possessions) and 28th in defense.
3. Johnny Newman led the team in scoring at 14.7 points per game.
4. Poor Dean Garrett started all 82 games.
5. Danny Fortson had 2-to-1 turnover-to-assist ratio.
6. Denver started the year 0-12 and dropped 23 straight to fall to 2-38.
7. After a 16-game losing streak, the team actually won two in a row for the
only time, beating Vancouver and Portland.
P & S rating: 2.59 (five Dan Issels)
