The twain met with the Knicks and the Nets, who both finished 43-39, 12 games behind the Heat but better than 14 teams each. In the playoffs the Nets got swept by the Bulls while the Knicks upset the Heat 3 games to 2 but lost to the Pacers in the quarters. OG: 15 NB: 13. The Devils repeated as Atlantic Division champions, 48-23-11 (107), the second-best record in a 26 league. The Islanders were 4th with 30-41-11 (71), the Rangers 5th with 25-39-18 (68), better than 7 and 5 teams respectively. Only the Devils made the playoffs, and they were upset by the Ottawa Senators in the first round. That was 30 for Junior and 7 for Pop/J2, making it NB: 43 OG: 22 The 1998 New York Yankees may have been the greatest team of all time. They stormed through the regular season at 114-48, winning at one point 24 series in a row. They kept right on rolling through the playoffs, winning three series and 11 of 13 games to finish up with a final record of 125-50. There were now 30 teams in MLB and 5 in the AL East, which the Yanks won by 22 games. That gave them a record haul of 63 points in my system. The Mets were 88-74, better than 19 teams but they didn’t make the playoffs. OG: 85 NB: 62 The Jets picked this year to finally top the Giants, going a strong 12-4 and winning the 5 team AFC by two games. They were better than 23 teams. The Giants were 8-8, better than 13 teams. The Giants didn’t make the playoffs but the Jets made it to the AFC title game, where they lost to the eventual champion Broncos 10-23. The totaled 34 points. That made the final score OG: 98 NB: 96. Wheew!. But it was a 10th straight Old Guard victory with an 11th ring, making Poppa and Junior 2 in the lead in every category.
