This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

please explain 1969 by ram
Jerry West of the Lakers said after the 1969 NBA Finals, “It was if we weren’t supposed to win. We had the personnel. We had everything. Boston had Russell.”
Baylor, West (final's MVP tht year) and Wilt
couldn't beat Russ and a group of old guys and John Havlicek. Sam Jones was on his last legs. Em Bryant played most of the time at PG in the finals and he was a journeyman, at best. Bailey Howell was washed up by then. Sanders, Siegfried. Don Nelson could still play but he was never a great player.
Try 1968, too. 1967 Philly voted all time best team in 1992 25 year anniversary but couldn't beat the old men of Boston the next year with everyone back (excuse: Cunningham got hurt) despite a 3-1 game lead.
