I’ve not been covering the Cleveland Cavaliers for several reasons. One, I don’t much like basketball. Two, the Cavaliers fall is kind of painful for me. (I have family in the Cleveland area.) Three, I don’t much like basketball. Four, I’ve been kind of distracted by other things.
However, Lawrence pointed out this interesting SI article on the worst season-to-season declines in sports history, which covers not just the NBA, but also the NFL, MLB, and the NHL. There’s some surprising stuff in there; I didn’t realize the Houston Oilers dropped that much from 1993 to 1994, but I also really don’t remember the Cody Carlson/Billy Joe Tolliver era.
