Plus, Riordan is going to be gone, and they are going to have brought in another small forward, Bobby Dandridge, whose defense against Julius Erving in the playoffs that year was considered to be so key.<br /><br />For that matter, K.C. Jones is going to be gone, too--replaced by Dick Motta. So it looks to me like Bob Ferry, Abe Pollin and/or somebody else pretty surgically revamped the roster by 1978 to account for 1975's fatal deficiencies. There have been only two teams swept in the history of the NBA Finals before. The 1971 Bullets were the second of those teams, and now the 1975 Bullets are about to become the third.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218278987255792995noreply@blogger.com
