[NauruDude]

Through their whole history.

Lakers -> Winners (Minneapolis/Los Angeles)
Celtics -> Winners (Boston)
Miami -> Recent (Miami)
Dallas -> Dirk (Dallas)
San Antonio -> Play-offs (Dallas/Fort Worth-Lubbock/San Antonio)
Utah -> Silver (New Orleans/Salt Lake City
Chicago -> Gold (Chicago)
Toronto -> Canada (Toronto)
New York -> Mecca (New York City)
Orlando -> Centers (Orlando)
Detroit -> Eminem (Fort Wayne/Detroit)

Lakers and Celtics have 33 titles combined. Miami were formed in 1988. Dallas are not good without Dirk. San Antonio have won 17 division titles in their history, and only twice failed to make play-offs. Utah never have gold, but many silvers. Chicago took gold many times. Toronto is in Canada. New York is supposedly the "mecca" of basketball. Orlando draft good centers with 1st pick (Shaq, Dwight) and Eminem supports Detroit.

[MMM]

Lakers stardom - Showtime, hot spot for big star FAs

Celtics tradition - Celtics pride, team and defense oriented

Heat can't think of one word but would describe them as the new kid on the block. From expansion to premier NBA franchise.

Mavs unorthodox - Dirk, to not winning with a super team, to Cuban

Spurs reliable - always in the playoffs and 50 wins.

Jazz decline - self explanatory

Bulls fizzle - once thought of as a contender

Raptors Dunk Champions - only thing they've produced.

Knicks Can't think of one word but in a bizarro world they are successful while the Yankees suck.

Pistons Defense - as in their championship teams are generally regarded as some of the best defensive teams of all time

Magic unlucky - lost Shaq, injuries to Penny, Tmac, and Hill, but most importantly TD staying in SA and not forming a super team in the Magic Kingdom.

How am I hating? Those are facts. Once Melo leaves to the Bulls, you will be a 10 win team with no picks. Should change your team name to New York No Picks.

You don't make the playoffs with the 9th seed, so making the ECF is not possible. Come on, Cecil. I shouldn't be telling you all the basic stuff.
