Has a franchise ever gone 3 straight years without winning 20+ games?

[1987_Lakers]

Not including lockout years of course, because it looks like the Sixers are about to accomplish this.

2014: 19-63
2015: 18-64
This season: 1-22

What happened to this franchise? They were one of the elite teams from the 60's - 80's, but fell off the map once Dr. J retired.

Bulls did do it. 99-01 13 17 15 and then followed it up with 21 wins in 02 and for good measure 23 in 04.

Clippers almost did it 87-89 but they went and won 21 games in 89 after 12 and 17 to start that run. But then they did it again 98-00 17 9 15. Yes the 9 wins was in the strike year, but that would project them around 15 wins in full season.

Vancouver did it! And look at this stretch!

96 15-67
97 14-68
98 19-63
99 8-42
00 22-60
01 23-59

If we count 20 win seasons, Minnesota 92 93 94 won 15 19 and 20 games. They won 21 in 95.

Dallas won 26 or less 7 times in 8 years from 92-99


Miami just missed it going 15, 18 and then pulling through with 24 from 89-91

Denver 97-99 21 11 14 then Dan Isel came in, they started being competitive, he left and they won 17 in 03.


I only went back to 1980 and I might have some issues with this data so if I made an error let me know.

Sixers bout to complete the cycle. Lakers about to start one :oldlol:

[MMM]

Grizz stretch really destroyed SAR as a prospect. Seems like the psychological effects of evident every close game SAR played in

[Tking714]

They're on pace for 4 wins. Owners of that franchise should be fined

The league really should do something about this. It's beyond pathetic now.

Word. Vancouver deserves another chance.

I'm pretty sure the Warriors mastered this feat a time or two.

Actually we could go further back

1997 30-52
1996 36-46
1995 26-56

But yeah, the sixers are the only team to tank...lol. They're just honest with their fans and the media about what they're doing.

Ehh. I think only one team in Canada is enough. Don't want to take focus from the Raps..

Somebody needs to send this to the 6ers.
