That, plus winning the lottery and taking Zion Williamson, brought some excitement, though Williamson's injury issues have tempered that a bit.
Atlanta has also gone three years without winning a playoff series, but the biggest angst Hawks fans have is the fact that they haven't won an NBA championship in their 51 years in Atlanta or even reached the NBA Finals.
Extra Mustard. An unruly fan took a shot at a sensitive area on the Baltimore Orioles' mascot, but the bird quickly got retribution by tossing the man to the ground in a victory for mascots throughout the land. While Durant's Achilles injury might delay Brooklyn's surge for a year, the Nets will be among the prime championship contenders when he returns. Total score: -4.66
Total score: -42.35 Ranking by category: championships, 8; playoff berths, 15; playoff wins, 8; heartbreaks, 5; rival comparison, 3.
NBA players are pretty recognizable, especially a guy like Scott who stands at 6-foot-8.
The loss of Durant and Thompson finally caught up to the Warriors, who fell into the Raptors in six games despite a gallant effort, but the way they played through adversity showed the mettle that netted them championships in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
Like the Rockets, Portland has a Golden State problem, as this year's conference finals sweep marked the third time in four years that the Blazers were eliminated by the Warriors. Scott was the centerpiece, as Philadelphia fans descended on him from all angles. Moving forward: Knicks fans dreamed about winning the draft lottery and drafting Zion Williamson, signing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency and getting back into the playoff mix immediately. Playoff wins: Great, you're in the playoffs, but what's the point if you don't do anything once you're there?
All-sport rank: 46
Ranking by category: championships, 9 (tie); playoff berths, 20; playoff wins, 16; heartbreaks, 13; rival comparison, 20. All-sport rank: 75 It might be tough, as the West continues to get deeper and San Antonio's stars continue to get older (LaMarcus Aldridge will be 34 next season and DeMar DeRozan will be 30). Total score: -22.84 All-sport rank: 20 Early returns are looking quite good. They'll be fun to watch, and they're showing signs that they could compete for a playoff berth -- or at least get past the 58-loss hump. Read “Jazz Mascot Fights Cavs Fan (Video)” and other NBA articles from Total Pro Sports. Why they're ranked here: Four freaking bounces. Ranking by category: championships, 25; playoff berths, 14; playoff wins, 29; heartbreaks, 4; rival comparison, 28. Total score: 11.18
Racial insults descended on the Sixers’ Mike Scott because of the damn Redskins jersey he was wearing, and nothing else. Total score: 15.69 Moving forward: After living life on the playoff bubble the past few years, the Hornets are going into full rebuilding mode after losing star point guard Kemba Walker to the Celtics.
All-sport rank: 64 Along with missing the playoffs again, the Mavericks haven't won a playoff series since their NBA championship season of 2011. You know exactly why this happened and it wasn’t because of your jersey pic.twitter.com/p5Wg0NXevZ.
Moving forward: The Wizards' salary cap situation this season, compromised by Wall's massive contract and other missteps, have left Washington with a star (Bradley Beal) stuck with a misfit aggregation of past-their-prime veterans and unproven young players around him. This past season marked the 14th time in 15 years that Minnesota was absent from the postseason, as the season went downhill early after Jimmy Butler requested a trade. Ranking by category: championships, 26; playoff berths, 30; playoff wins, 28; heartbreaks, 1; rival comparison, 26.
Could this turn into a 1996-97 Spurs situation, where one bad year nets a lottery pick (Tim Duncan) before business goes back to usual when everyone gets healthy? Ranking by category: championships, 14 (tie); playoff berths, 7; playoff wins, 7; heartbreaks, 25; rival comparison, 9. All-sport rank: 68 Why they're ranked here: Sure, the Pistons made the playoffs for only the second time this decade, but Detroit's slide down these rankings is more due to the success it had in the past. Why they're ranked here: The Timberwolves went back to missing the playoffs after making a cameo appearance in 2018.
Note that this formula takes into account the recency factor: Winning a championship in the past five years does not allow you to be miserable, nor does anyone care about some heartbreak that happened 30-40 years ago (cough, Bill Buckner, cough). Gregg Popovich was able to get quite a bit out of his aging roster, as he led the Spurs to the playoffs for the 22nd straight season. Ranking by category: championships, 13; playoff berths, 1; playoff wins, 3; heartbreaks, 17; rival comparison, 1. Why they're ranked here: While the Kings' 39 wins were the most they've had in 13 years, they still fell short of making the playoffs. Punches and shouting ensue.
Harden led the way with a game-high 31 points on 11 for 19 shooting, nine assists and six rebounds, while Lin (19 points, six rebounds, five assists, four steals), Parsons (20 points on 8 for 13 shooting, five rebounds, three assists) and Delfino (19 points, 5 for 7 from 3-point range off the bench) each chipped in en route to blazing team shooting marks (55.7 percent from the floor, 44 percent from 3-point range) and Houston's eighth game of 120-plus points this season. Total score: 12.13
The video does not provide any context for the attack, although it seems the "jerk attacks mascot" is pretty much all the context one really needs for this video. The game ops crew might want to talk to Clutch about pulling his punches a bit. Why they're ranked here: Because bad went to worse in Gotham. Ranking by category: championships, 1 (tie); playoff berths, 3; playoff wins, 10 (tie); heartbreaks, 28; rival comparison, 2.
All-sport rank: 53 Some people speculated the coffin was meant as a jab at late-Washington safety Sean Taylor, but those claims were never confirmed. It's a question that the Sports Misery Index tackled, and while we did an article on the top 25 in all sports, it's time to delve deeper into which NBA fans feel good about life and which are, quite frankly, miserable. Yeesh. The Index was originally released in September 2018 and is updated through the 2018-19 NBA season. That likely means several more years of missing the postseason are on the way. But not only did Jurassic Park get to celebrate a title, but Toronto fans couldn't have enjoyed a better script. Celtics fans hope so, as they still possess a young, talented base of players to go with Walker. Having the worst record in the NBA is one thing, but striking out on the top free agents this past summer was more than many Knicks fans could bear. The Los Angeles Chargers get to own San Diego's misery because (a) L.A. and San Diego are quite close and (b) I'm pretty sure most of the Chargers' fans still live in San Diego. Not only was Washington non-competitive in a Southeast Division that was open for the taking, it also lost John Wall to a torn Achilles for most (if not all) of the upcoming season. From there, it was all over but the shouting, as Houston scored a 125-112 win over a Lakers team that played small throughout due to the absence of injured big men Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Jordan Hill, and couldn't consistently (or even sporadically) get stops to turn the tide.
OKC hasn't won a playoff series since blowing a 3-1 lead to the Warriors in the 2016 Western Conference finals and losing Kevin Durant.
Why they're ranked here: The Clippers surprisingly returned to the playoffs after a one-year hiatus, taking a roster that was light on big-name stars but long on feistiness to a 48-win season. Ranking by category: championships, 29; playoff berths, 24; playoff wins, 25; heartbreaks, 14; rival comparison, 23. Stories for you. All-sport rank: 55 Jon Absey has played Jazz Bear since the mascot's … And while we don't know for sure if this was a sneak-tip Kwame Brown dig, I think we should probably assume it was. While the Hornets stayed in the Southeast Division race until the final week, they once again fell short and missed the playoffs. Total score: 3.37
Not only did Utah get eliminated by Houston for the second straight season, but this year extended a couple of streaks that Jazz fans want abolished.
While the Clips fell to the Warriors in six games in round one, they did pull off a 31-point comeback in Game 2, giving them a nice memory to go into the offseason. Philadelphia 76ers forward Mike Scott has never been a big-name superstar. The NBA franchise is “reviewing their team policies regarding security at public events,” even though Scott reportedly was accompanied by security to Sunday’s game. Baltimore Orioles mascot fights back after fan takes low blow … Use of this site constitutes acceptance of our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. We are now a week into baseball season, that magical point of the year where the weather becomes nicer, the scent of fresh-cut grass and ballpark hotdogs fill the air, and bootleg mascots trade punches with bar patrons. Moving forward: The Nuggets didn't make the offseason splashes that the Clippers, Lakers and Rockets made, but they have arguably the deepest roster in the Western Conference. Ranking by category: championships, 28; playoff berths, 11; playoff wins, 24; heartbreaks, 20; rival comparison, 18. Why they're ranked here: The young Nets made a splash this season, increasing their win total by 14 games to make the playoffs for the first time since 2015. All-sport rank: 30 They went for broke in acquiring Kawhi Leonard, which cashed in to the tune of the franchise's first NBA championship. Boston fans were disappointed by the way this past season went, as a team that was considered the preseason favorite in the East never jelled and was dispatched by the Bucks in five games in round two.
