[QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3928335, member: 289"] 1982 NB: 87 OG: 39 Historical: OG: 1,328 points, 17 victories and 6 rings NB: 865 points, 6 victories and 7 rings. The Nets and the Knicks changed places, the older franchise sagging into last place with a 33-49 record, better than 5 teams while the Nets rose to 44-38, second place in the Atlantic Division, better than 12 teams. Unfortunately, they got swept by the Bullets in the first round of a 23 team league, getting them just one playoff point for a total of 13. The Islanders again rolled through the NHL, having the best regular season record (54-16-10…118pts) in a 21-team league and a 5-team division and blowing by the Penquins, the Rangers, the Nordiques and the Canucks for their third straight Stanley Cup, winning 15 games and losing 4, including sweeps in the last two series for another 45 points. The Rangers were in second place in the Patrick Division with 39-27-14 (92), better than 14 teams. With the loss in the quarterfinals, they got 16 points, getting Junior an imposing 58-21 lead coming out of the spring. The Yankees now entered a second fallow period, following the 1965-75 period. They wouldn’t see any post season action from 1982-93. (They wouldn’t see any in 1994, either but no one did. They had the best record in the American League in that strike year, presaging a return of the dynasty). They fell to 79-83, 5th in the East and better than just 10 teams so that’s all the points they got. They could not negate what the Islanders did this time around. But they were still better than the Mets, who were back in last place in the NL East at 65-97, better only than the Reds, who fell all the way from 66-42 to 61-101, (winning more games in the strike-shortened 1981 than in the full-season of 1982 and the Twins, who went 60-102). That made it 60-31 going into the fall. The Giants had no chance to overcome that. They couldn’t even top the Jets. The NFLPA, jealous of the MLBPA, decided to have a strike of their own, reducing the NFL regular season to 9 games. Like Baseball, the NFL decided to have extended playoffs to make it even less meaningful. The Giants went 4-5, better than 8 teams but only one in the NFC East, (the Eagles), and managed to miss even the extended playoffs. The Jets, on what for them was a roll, again finished second to the Dolphins with a 6-3 record, (Miami was 7-2), better than 20 teams and then blew out the Bengals 44-17 and upset the 6-1 Raiders 17-14 before losing the AFC championship game to the Dolphins, 0-14, getting them 7 more points. That gave Junior the championship for the year by a commanding 87-39, his first since 1976 and 6th overall, including his 7th ring, one more than Granddad. Junior Squared jumped over to Junior’s lap. His teams win. [/QUOTE]
