Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3991261, member: 289"] 2021 So far: New Breed 68 Old Guard 55 The NBA played a 72-game regular season and the Nets, with Kevin Durant, were suddenly one of the best teams, finishing 48-24, better than 27 teams. The Knicks were also much improved 41-31, better than 18 teams. Unfortunately, neither was better than the 76ers, who won the division. The Knicks went down in five games to the Hawks in the first round. Meanwhile the Nets were beating the Celtics in five before losing in seven to the eventual champions Bucks in the quarters. NB: 30 OG: 19. The NHL played a 56-game season. The Islanders were 32-17-7 (71), better than 19 teams but only fourth in the Metro Division. The Rangers were 5th at 27-23-6 (60), better than 14 teams. The Devils were 7th, 19-30-7 (45), better than 2 teams. Only the Islanders made the playoffs, beating the Penquins and Bruins in six games before again losing to the eventual champion Lightning in the conference finals. NB: 58 OG: 33 The Yankees finished 92-70, tied for second in the AL East, better than 22 teams. My Mets fell to 77-85, better than 10 teams. So as I write this, the score is New Breed: 68, Old Guard 55 Meanwhile GrandPop is glad that, over the years, he stuck with the good, solid 'Old Guard' teams he grew up with. After all, he’s won 40 of the 61 seasons and 16 championship rings to 12 for Junior. But Junior is glad he joined the New Breed. Even if he has fewer wins and fewer championships, he enjoyed them just as much, which means that each win meant more to him. Junior Squared feels clever because he jumped ship every time the tide turned and wound up with more points than either his Grandfather or his Dad. Junior Cubed thinks he was the cleverest of all: he rooted for all the New York area teams and thus got all the points. 1960: The Old Guard, (OG): 46 The New Breed (NB): 9 Historical Total: OG 46
