The Braves were a big "what if". Team had talent if ownership had any money. At one time, the team could have run out Bob McAdoo, Adrian Dantley, Ernie DiGregorio and Moses Malone. Coached by a HOF coach in the good Doctor. Oof. The Catholic Church knee capped the Braves at the beginning. The all-powerful church was afraid a viable NBA team in the Memorial Auditorium would marginalize the Catholic college teams, Niagara and Canisius. So they blocked a bunch of home dates for the Braves. Took a lot of ticket sales right at the beginning. Then they made the incredible blunder of passing on homegrown Calvin Murphy for John Hummer (heh heh, "Hummer") in the 1970 Draft. Team ownership was never solid and it was just a matter of time before the Braves moved.

Team ownership was never solid and it was just a matter of time before the Braves moved. Bob McAdoo could hoop! One of the three Buffalo sports icons in the 70's. McAdoo, Gilbert Perrault and that running back from USC who's name escapes me. We had good players, but couldn't win titles. The 1976 Buffalo Braves could have had this lineup (if memory is correct...) Moses Malone Adrian Dantley Bob McAdoo Calvin Murphy (never played here but should have been drafted) Ernie DiGregorio That's a lineup that could have won titles. Plural. A championship banner could have kept the team here and helped me to give a fiddler's fuck about the NBA. |

Adrian dantley was an assassin
espn's 30 for 30 piece on the Bad Boys was tremendous and the Mark Aguirre saga that went along with it
moses fascinates me.
yeah - he took an old dainty delicate fool in Kareem to school who relied on pansy sky hooks - how would he have faired against Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson in his 'hey day'?
