McAdoo 's game was strictly nasty!!! One of my favorite players from the pro basketball from the National Basketball Association. Be mindful that the merger wasn't jneffect at this point and time.
The Braves were my favorite team back then because of McAdoo. I am a huge UNC fan and loved him and the Braves colors were very similar to the Tar Heels as an added bonus to me as a young kid back then.
Thanks for posting this vid. These were definitely two fun teams to watch back in the day. The Braves with leading scorer McAdoo, the ultra-fast Randy Smith (one of the very few guards who would dunk), and fancy passer Ernie D. And the 76ers with ABA standout McGinnis, teenager Dawkins, Lloyd (soon-to-be World B.) Free, and other very good offensive players (Collins). And let's not forget JellyBean Bryant, Kobe's father. I've always liked Doug Collins because of his performance in the 1972 Olympics, which included the first loss ever by a USA team and that loss was very controversial. But Collins played well. Only a few years earlier, the 76ers set the NBA record for most losses in a season, so they rebuilt quickly. Carter was on that 1972-73 team that won only 9 games.. Interesting to see that the Braves had the two NBA bald player on their team (Weiss and Adams). McAdoo and Smith both played 52 minutes in this O/T 53-min game. You don't see that anymore.

McAdoo left Buffalo and bounced around several teams before finally winning a title as a valuable reserve with the Lakers. In his prime, he was virtually unstoppable...
McAdoo didn't wanna leave Buffalo. He was traded. The owner sabotaged the team on purpose to get out of the lease to move the team to California. Dr Jack Ramsay was fired after they lost to Boston the next round
Safe to say that many of us here watching, or having watched already, are not in our 20s. The 76ers didn’t get a championship until they got rid of some of their great scorers and forge a balanced and defensive minded team. Moses, Anthony Toney, Mo Cheeks, Bobby Jones etc.
Bringing in Cunningham as the coach was a huge upgrade over Shue. Billy C. emphasized teamwork and defense. Shue seemed to just fill out the lineup card. I always thought it was a mistake by Shue not to start Erving with Mix when the Doctor came a year later. Erving and McGinnis didnt gel together.
@@BrianVanBuren-tu2ef wym bob dandridge got multiple all star appearances and Bridgeman admittedly was a borderline star and one of best 6 man of all time but stat wise and role wise Fred Carter had more significance over a more consistent stretch of games over the years to not get a single nod.
I just did an online quiz that asked to name the leading scorer for every NBA franchise. I got stumped by the one for the LA Clippers. Thought it might be Elton Brand or Blake Griffin. It turns out the answer was the great Randy Smith. Yes, the Buffalo Braves became the San Deigo Clippers, and then they moved to LA.
@@itstheman0nthem00n That would have been a good guess. Smith played 9 seasons for the Braves/Clippers, and scored 12375 points for the franchise while McAdoo only played 4.5 seasons and ended up with 9434 points. He was traded in mid-season of his fifth year to the Knicks after having put together some incredible scoring runs for the Braves, leading the league in scoring average three consecutive years and all three years being above 30ppg.
@Charles Winfield I knew SIdney Wicks was one of the players who moved from Boston to the Clippers when the Braves made their move to LA. Here's what basketball-reference re. the WIcks transaction: "August 4, 1978: Traded by the Boston Celtics with Kevin Kunnert, Kermit Washington and Freeman Williams to the San Diego Clippers for Tiny Archibald, Marvin Barnes, Billy Knight, a 1981 2nd round draft pick (Danny Ainge was later selected) and a 1983 2nd round draft pick (Rod Foster was later selected)."
@@ddenuciThose 2 teams also traded owners. The Celtics owner wanted to move the team to California. You know that wasn't gonna happen.

@@proplayer566 1970s Chicago bull s not an allstar...usually a 6th man...good shooter smart player tough defender...got one ring. .i watched him kick the crap out of a lot of black players...maybe they let him cause he was white lol
Fred Carter was really good. He was tough to handle for the Knicks during those earlier years between New York and the Bullets with Earl the Pearl and Carter.
BOBY MCCADOO WAS THE BEST SMOOTHEST PURE SHOOTER IN THE NBA . HIGHEST FIELD GOAL PERCENTAGE EVERY YEAR BOB MAcCADOO CAN DEFONTELY LIKE LIKE A MO FO . NBA LEGEND. I WATCHED HIM HIS WHOLE CAREER BUFFALO BRAVES FROM 72 TO 76. NEW YORK KNICKS 77 TO 85. LA LAKERS FROM 85 TO 89. WON 3 CHAMPION SHIPS WITH PAT RILEY MAGIC AND KAREEM IN 1985 1987 1988. BIG MAC CAN DO.
No 3 point line, no defensive 3 second violence, no challenge replays, no 4 point plays, no 14 second per offensive rebound. Illegal defense was still in the 70s, offensive 3 second violation was there still, tip off per quarter is no more, change to team who won the tip off in the 1st quarter will inbound in the 4th quarter. Block and steal records in the 75 76 season. Kansas city Omaha kings become Kansas city Kings.
Looking back at this game 45 years later, what was going on there on the court was appalling. From the get-go, the refs lost control and were part of the problem with lots of their calls. Refs should be invisible, yet they were acting like they were part of the entertainment. Considering the time period and the locale, I really have to wonder if organized crime influenced this game.
@@tomlochenour3729 He traded away Wilt Chamberlain, Chet Walker, and Wally Jones, with little value in return. He let Billy Cunningham get away to the ABA. He misused Luscious Jackson who retired prematurely due to injury in 1972. In 5 years, 76ers went from NBA champions to worst team in NBA history. Dr. Ramsey had a lot to do with this. Any other questions?

And he had that funky shooting motion that I tried to copy but my coach stopped that as I couldn't make a shot.
didn’t he coach the NY(football) Giants?😀

Greatest PA announcer ever Dave Zinkoff. Greeeeeeeer

Just imagine had Buffalo kept Moses Malone
RIP Dr Jack!
Randy Smith was an exciting player could hit the jumper or take it to the hole with his speed and athleticism.
Randy was a 2-sport star at the University of Buffalo. Also a star soccer player.
Buffalo Braves were a Fun team to Watch back in the 70s. The Fans in Buffalo really Supported that team.
And of course they were rewarded by losing the franchise

This broadcast is older than the game was when it aired lol
The NBA needs to come back to Buffalo
I know
Buffalo can't support a franchise. It's been too economically depressed for too long of period. They lost a lot of population.

The late offensive foul call in regulation on Shumate, wiping out the basket, was awful...
That was a tough call on Clyde Lee at 1:14:06, which sent the game into O/T. Looks like he was just going up for a rebound.
