dbadefense1990 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Here's another question (possibly harder than the Jordan question):When was the last time there was no Game 7 played in a Stanley Cup postseason?2005I think my question was provided of the last time an actual postseason was played, but didn't have a Game 7 at all in any series. So 2005 is not the right answer.Here's another one: which is/are the only NBA team(s) in history, who had the best regular-season record for two consecutive years, but fail to get to the NBA Finals in both of those seasons?

Kramerica Industries Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I feel like a turd, because as a Yankee fan and also as someone who has loved delving into baseball history books before*, I really should know the answer to this.*no kidding, back in 2004, I got a book as a gift that covered baseball history from 1901-2002, with brief synopses of important developments in that season as well as a timeline along the bottom of the pages, usually about six pages each, and it was probably the best book I've ever had, especially as a resource. I highly recommend, even if it doesn't include the past ten seasons. We all know what's happened between 2003 and 2012 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, there are two teams. The 66-win and 61-win Cavs teams of '08-'09 and '09-'10 were the first teams to have the best record for two straight years but fail to reach the Finals in both years.The second were, actually, the '10-'11 and '11-'12 Chicago Bulls, with 62 and 50* wins, respectively.*50 wins in 66-game shortened season interpolates to 63 wins in actual regular season. Also, Chicago tied with the San Antonio Spurs for best regular season record, but were given the tiebreaker, because of a head-to-head victory over San Antonio in the season.

So 2005 is not the right answer.1977.Correct. Driving the point home, it'll be 36 years and counting since a Stanley Cup postseason had no Game 7s played. The closest we came to no Game 7 was the 2007 playoffs, when only one series (the Stars-Canucks West Quarterfinal) needed the full 7 games.

AlexWilson Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Name the first two brothers in the NBA to play for the same team at different times. And the answer to my other Question about Teemu was Veli-Pekka Ketola, a Finnish WHA star who played with the Jets. Can't believe no-one got that one.
