The Knicks slipped a little to 45-37 and third place but the Nets were on the bottom with the worst record in the NBA, 17-65. The Knicks were better than 16 teams, (there were now 27), and made it to the quarterfinals, where they lost to the eventual champion Pistons. That earned them a total of 19 points, 19 more than the Nets earned. The Rangers won the 6 team Patrick Division with a modest record of 36-31-13 (85 points), barely beating out the Devils who were 37-34-9 (83). The Islanders were fourth at 31-38-11 (73). The Rangers were better than 12 teams, the Devils better than 10 and the Isles better than 5. They all made the playoffs. The Rangers beat the Isles, 3-2 in the first round but lost to the Capitals, who had beaten the Devils in that first round, in the quarters. That gave the Rangers 14 points and the Devils/Isles 17. Dad was ahead 33-17 after the spring. The Mets had the last good year of their greatest era, going 91-71 but again finishing second, this time to the Pirates. They were better than 21 teams. The Yankees had their worst record since before they got Babe Ruth, falling into last place with a 67-95 record that seemed more like what the Mets would do. Only the Atlanta Braves were worse at 65-97. People wondered what the future held for those two franchises. The Juniors moved ahead, 38-34. But the Giants came through in a big way for Pop, going 13-3, winning the five team NFC East, beating the only team with a better record, the two-time defending champions 49ers, 15-13 in the NFC title game and then the AFC champion Buffalo Bills, (who had also gone 13-3) in the Super Bowl 20-19 when Scott Norwood’s field goal drifted to the right. That was 58 big points for Big Blue and Poppa. The Jets limped home at 6-10, better than just 6 teams, to make the final score Old Guard 92, New Breed 44. Junior Squared decide to shift back to Grandpa’s teams -they won. He no longer fit in Grandpop’s lap, however. [/QUOTE]
