The “Unwatchable NBA” Update:  During a 91-81 loss to Atlanta last week, the Chicago Bulls shot 0-for-10 from three-point range.  I’m just wondering what the father of a young Bulls fan tells his kid after the game when the child remarks, “Gee, Daddy–couldn’t they have made just ONE for me tonight?”…….TRIVIA QUESTION:  The 1995-’96 Philadelphia Flyers–who finished first [...]

The “Unwatchable NBA” Update:  In a game played in Charlotte last week, the Bobcats dismantled the Heat 104-65; Miami shot a putrid 22-for-76 from the floor (29%).  The topper?  This included the Heat shooting a pathetic 2-for-23 (9%) from three-pt. range.  Yes–somewhere, Steve Kerr is weeping, folks…….TRIVIA QUESTION:  The lowly 1990-1991 Miami Heat–who finished 24-58 under coach [...]

The “Unwatchable NBA” Update: During a 26-point loss to New Jersey last week, the Knicks shot 2-for-17 from three-point range (12%) and 58% from the free-throw line on 11-for-19 shooting.
