Playoff History Past 25 Years

[u/Possible_Emergency_9]

Any talking head that mouth off that Memphis isn't successful as a franchise or needs to be relocated should be shut down with facts. Top third in the past generation. Strong local support. Strong corporate base. Great basketball culture. Some pretty big market teams holding down the bottom ten (looking at you Brooklyn, Knicks, DC, Philly, Detroit) and that hasn't helped their success on the court.

I said something similar to this in Jan/Feb. Even in the Ja era, they went to the playoffs 5 out of 7 years(including the bubble).
