  1. Just wanted to say that I started watching your videos not even two weeks ago and your intro had me craving for some Castlevania, which I had never played before. As of today, I've beaten the original and Dracula's Curse, and I'm on stage 7 of Rondo of Blood (which I'm finding real tough) on 80% completion. Thanks for the nudge!

  2. Bill Fitch really did well. He had coached the Celtics to.the Championship and coached the.Rockets to finals in 1981. I guess he is the type.of coach under dog teams need.

  3. Man, what a stacked roster this Cavs team had. Jim Chones, Bingo Smith, Nate Thurmond, Austin Carr, Jim Cleamons, Dick Snyder and Jim Brewer. All of those guys are super underrated today.

    A Suns-Cavs finals would have been awesome. I honestly wouldn’t be able to know who would have won, since both teams were loaded with talent. I think the lack of Chones likely would have hurt Cleveland in the series, but I still feel like they would have put up a good fight. A world where either Bingo Smith or Alvan Adams win Finals MVP is a super cool one in my view.

    Great job with this video! You’re killing it with this content. A suggestion I would have for a future topic would be the late 70’s post-Willis Reed Knicks with Frazier, Earl The Pearl, Spencer Haywood and Bob McAdoo.

  4. I might repeat myself, but I'm glad you're remembering the Golden age of basketball with these detailed analysis. Much respect! Keep it up!

  5. This is becoming one of my favorite basketball channels. Its been something I've wanted to see for a while but haven't known where to look. Keep it up.

  6. Great teams in Cleveland.. I used to pick up their games when I lived in buffalo in the 1970s on three double e Cleveland radio.. Joe tait.. Pete Franklin.. should have won a title but not quite there

  7. Great episode. You mentioned Luke Witte, that Minnesota-OSU brawl would make a great video. It’s an overlooked part of sports history and Luke Witte is a big what if in my opinion.
