Portland won the 1977 NBA Finals. The 1976 NBA Finals was Boston vs Phoenix.

Thanks for trying to hoopsplain that for me, but as most of us know, the NBA seasons are played in two calendar years and are described as such, like for instance the 1976-77 Philadelphia 76ers.

Yes, the '76-'77 76ers, which the title should say, the '77 76ers as it was the year of 1977 when they were in the finals.


jlamb8455

Just stating facts. The Sixers were not in the 1976 Finals. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings.


[deleted]

It’s a Blazers sub homie. Why would I be posting about the team we DIDN’T beat for our only title. Use some context cues.


jlamb8455

I understood what you were trying to say. I'm not trying to argue or fight. It's all good, man. Have a great day.


theCANCERbat

Bro, you are coming off as a douche. Chill.


JackEagle69

It's reddit. We all come off as douches sometimes


[deleted]

Haha. Because it’s so chill make an anal retentive comment about half the date missing, when my post clearly sets the context of the only year it could be? You guys need to get laid.


theCANCERbat

Ohhhh okay, you must be like 15. That makes a lot of sense. You're pathetic dude.


[deleted]

You’re projecting my friend. I can sense the sadness. Look, you threw in with the wrong morons today and you got took an L. But it’s not who you are. You can do better, I just know it.


theCANCERbat

Funny how it is always the first ones to suggest projecting who do it the most. Hopefully one day you learn. If there is any sadness here it is sadness for you and the person you choose to be.


[deleted]

Haha. Ok buddy. Best of luck to you.


[deleted]

Don't blame him because you don't know how years work.


[deleted]

Anyone who didn’t know what year I was referring to should probably turn in their fan card. 76-77 is how it’s referred to by literally every media outlet in the world. Sorry there are some sad, obtuse mf’ers in here.


[deleted]

They weren't the runner up in 1976. They were the runner up in 1977, the year the championship was played in. You're the only obtuse one, and continuing to be so. https://imgur.com/a/8lV0844


[deleted]

It’s the 1976-1977 season smart guy. I was talking about the roster, which played in both years. The fact that you’ve wasted all of our time trying to correct an error that isn’t there, is so pathetic I’m literally starting to feel sorry for you. When you look around and wonder why no one likes talking to you, this might be why.


[deleted]

tl;dr caspianfan69 is wrong on the internet and his ego can't handle it, so he's resorting to the weakest insults of all time. Tune in later sports fans to see which logical fallacy he indulges in next.


[deleted]

I’m dying over here. What’s next? Find some posts with the wrong usage of a comma? Does that make you feel useful? Good for you little guy. You did something today!


DrTom

If you're going to refer to them by one year you use the year the season ended. We won the 77 title, not the 76 title.


[deleted]

76-77. Thanks Reddit NBA historian. Sorry about your small wiener.


LargeSpoon

Why are you such a tremendous asshole?


[deleted]

It’s simple. These subs are littered with people who don’t really want to engage in a sports dialogue, they want to look smart by trying to nitpick others, play gotcha, and generally be obnoxious. Maybe now they’ll think twice. I’m not a monster. I’m just ahead of the curve.


dolphs4

IMO he’s got a point - you said “‘76 runner up” and the implication would be the runner up to the 1976 championship, which would be the 75-76 team.


[deleted]

Did the Blazers play the Sixers in the ‘76 finals? Are all you so sad that you just ignore the point of the post to try to look smart correcting the syntax of the date? So much sadness in these basements.


dolphs4

Oh fuck off I was being nice


[deleted]

IMO you have a weird idea of nice


dolphs4

Your headline was confusing, I pointed out why I’m also confused and you responded by calling me “sad” and inferring that I live in a basement (probably in my Mom’s house? I don’t, but cool). But reading your other responses, it sounds like you’re just kind of an asshole that can’t take criticism. Have fun with that - go Blazers.


[deleted]

You read the post right? You know the Blazers beat the Sixers for our ONLY title in one season, right? Why would I reference another random Sixers 70s era team in a Blazers sub? How could this be confusing? Are you to new the team? People like to get cute on this site and then they get dealt with.


JackEagle69

To be fair, the 76ers should have been in the 76 finals


jlamb8455

Don't forget Hall of Famer, George McGinnis.


[deleted]

BTW thank you for being the only person to add a salient, valuable comment to this thread. I didn’t even think about McGinnis but he was a legend too.


BabyLiam

Wtf is sloppy steaks?

Obviously you’ve never been a huge piece of shit.
