been watching, well listening, 1970s games on YouTube while doing my stats, Rick Barry is probably the best color guy for hard information but the Big O is hilarious at how excited he gets, Russell's funny too but a bit too mumbly that with any degradation to the audio it makes even harder to hear what he's saying, but his cackle after a dad joke is awesome
during the 1975 Finals at the Cow Palace, the Big O mistakes a clock showing the time of day for the time of game and says "wow, there's still seven minutes left!" and Brent Musburger goes "that's the time of day, O, gotta be careful with the clocks in here", then O says "either that or this game is never going to end!"
mostly been watching only playoff games as they're easy to find (typing in like "1976 nba finals" will find 1976 playoff games in the results too for example), but did find the end of the 1972 Lakers' 33 game winning streak against Kareem's Bucks too that was pretty good:
1975 Finals is pretty good despite how it looks from the outside (4-0 sweep) because the Warriors trail in almost every single game by double digits, by game four the Bullets just look befuddled and act like they know it's coming when they get up 22 and suddenly the Warriors start chipping away at the lead
will probably post more year summaries for my stats page sometime this week if anybody likes looking at those, for the 1980's and 1990's, might do 2000's too, going to redo the design a bit after seeing how they look on an actual webpage, already fixed the centering issue so the 1970s ones for example are easier to read than the earlier, also going to put a description for the stat rather than relying on the name, especially as they get added with each successive "major" stat year (1974 adds steals and blocks plus official off rebounds, 1978 adds turnovers, 1980 adds three pointers, 1997 adds play-by-play data, 2004 adds counterpart data, etc.) I also should add the ABA somewhere, I already had them but forgot to make summary webpages, I'll probably not make more than the summary pages and instead just share the whole files on Google Spreadsheets or whatever, anybody who actually cares about them more than just glancing at them when I link it can probably handle that, like Glen
