First off the Bullets went 42-40 in the season they reached the finals,and like the Cavs they lost in four straight games.Unlike the Cavs the Bullets only had six players who scored over 10 points per game.I mean half the team scored under 10 points,had less then 5 rebounds,and had under two assist.The leading scorer scored just over 20 points,so less compair both teams starters

PG-Kevin Loughery wasent even a true point guard,he scored 15 points evry game but had only three assist,at least the Cavs used Gibson and Jones whos numbers are double those of Loughery's

SG:This is one of the few postions the Bullets had a good player at in Earl Monroe,who was one of the top players of all time so I wont even argue here.

SF:Come on the bullets started Jack Marin who scored 18 points a game,but wasent one of the best players at that time.But with the Cavs they had King James,one of if not the Best player of all time.

PF:Gus Johnson was a solid player who averaged 18 points and had an all star season that year with 17 rebounds every game,on the other hand the Cavs had Gooden and Newble playing the game who had over 20 rebounds.

The Bullets were worse then thge Cavs 4-2

"Gooden and Newble had over 20 rebounds? Not on your life. Newble is a bench player who rarely sees action"

Gooden averaged 12 and Newble averaged 8. somethin so yes it did happen.

Even though the Cavs played in the weak eastern confernce they still went 50-32 which is a good record.On the other hand the Bullits won there divison but only went 42-40.Plus the only good team in there confernce was the Knicks so it was just as bad then as it is now.

Even with two all stars the Bullets had no depth past there starting lineup with only one bench player scoring in double figures and the rest scoring under 8 points,not even getting two assist or two rebounds.On the other hand the Cavs were one of the deepest teams in the NBA.Players like Varejao and other players that were way better then all the bums the Bullets had as backups that wouldnt even be in the NBA today.

In all the Cavs were better then the Bullets,therfore the Baltimore Bullets were the worst NBA Final team ever
