The Bulls began NBA play in the 1966-67 season. The team registered a 33-48 win-loss record, the best ever for an NBA expansion team, and qualified for the playoffs. Before the 1968-69 season, Chicago hired Dick Motta, who had previously coached at Weber State University in Ogden, Utah. Stressing a defensive approach, Motta guided the Bulls to the playoffs for six straight seasons, from 1969-70 through 1974-75.

The Pistons reached the NBA Finals in 1955 and 1956 but failed to win the championship. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Pistons were one of the top squads in the league, reaching the NBA Finals from 1988 to 1990 and winning championship titles in 1989 and 1990.

The Pistons were founded by Fred Zollner in 1940 as the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. A year later the club joined the National Basketball League (NBL), which was composed primarily of teams launched by corporations in the Midwest. Led by guard Bobby McDermott, the Pistons were a dominant force in the league, reaching the NBL championship series in their first year before falling to the Oshkosh All-Stars. Two years later, in 1943, the club lost to the Sheboygan Redskins by one point in the deciding game of the NBL Finals. The Pistons won their first NBL championship in 1944 and added a second in 1945.

In 1948 the Pistons shifted to the Basketball Association of America (BAA). When the BAA and the NBL merged to form the NBA in 1949, the Pistons were one of the new league premier teams. The club qualified for the playoffs in each of its first five NBA seasons, advancing to the division finals twice. The 1954-55 team, which featured guard Andy Phillip, forward George Yardley, and center Larry Foust, advanced to the NBA Finals but lost by one point to the Syracuse Nationals in the deciding game.

The team lineups in that period featured guard Gene Shue, forward Bailey Howell, and forward Dave DeBusschere, who came aboard in 1962. From the mid-1960s through the early 1970s the Pistons slumped. Through much of this time, the Pistons were led by guard Dave Bing. He won the rookie of the year award in the 1966-67 season and went on to become one of the league top scorers. In 1970 Bing was joined by center Bob Lanier, and the two combined to form one of the NBA抯 most powerful scoring combinations. Bing and Lanier helped Detroit reach the playoffs in 1974, but the team record slipped when Bing was traded after the 1974-75 season. In 1978 former University of Detroit coach Dick Vitale took over as head coach of the Pistons. The club moved to the Pontiac Silverdome, but its fortunes failed to improve.

During the 1975-76 season the Cavaliers obtained veteran center Nate Thurmond, and he led the team to its first winning season.

Cleveland fell to the Boston Celtics in the 1976 conference finals. In each of the next two seasons the Cavaliers were quickly defeated in the playoffs.

In 1984 the Bucks finally defeated the 76ers in the semifinals, but they lost to the Celtics in the conference finals. Forward Terry Cummings arrived before the 1984-85 season and helped Milwaukee lead the league in defense, but the team lost in the playoffs to the 76ers in 1985 and to the Celtics in 1986.

During the late 1980s and early 1990s the Bucks compiled four consecutive winning seasons, but the club only once advanced past the first round in the playoffs. Although young, talented players such as Vin Baker and Glenn Robinson joined the team in the 1990s, the Bucks registered losing seasons from 1991-92 through 1997-98. After the lockout-shortened 1999 season, the Bucks returned to the playoffs for the first time since 1991.

9p6v1J&`;M)v.]3v[A Professional Business Forum]Toronto Raptors, professional basketball team and one of eight teams in the Central Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Raptors play at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The team wears jerseys of red, purple, black, and silver.www.fobshanghai.com-`'h/K)H;t$w7T.R8P
The Raptors franchise joined the NBA in 1994 when the league awarded an expansion team franchise to a group headed by Toronto businessman John I. Bitove. As part of the same expansion, the NBA admitted another Canadian club, the Vancouver Grizzlies. The Raptors and Grizzlies became the league first Canadian teams since the Toronto Huskies competed in the 1946-47 campaign of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), the forerunner of the NBA.www.fobshanghai.com7_8~7X2w:o;f,R

In May 1994, the name Raptorsrom the name of a carnivorous dinosaur as selected for the club, and Isiah Thomas, a well-known former NBA player who won two NBA titles with the Detroit Pistons, was hired as general manager. Thomas named former Pistons assistant coach Brendan Malone as Toronto first head coach.

#q1X%H)D,S2sFOB Business ForumThe Raptors won a coin toss with the Grizzlies for the right to the first pick in the 1995 NBA expansion draft, in which the new teams would each select one player from an existing NBA team. The Raptors selected guard B. J. Armstrong of the Chicago Bulls. They then traded Armstrong to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for forward Carlos Rogers and center Victor Alexander. In the regular draft of college players, the Raptors selected guard Damon Stoudamire. In the team inaugural season, Stoudamire led the Raptors in scoring with an average of 19 points per game, finished fifth in the league in assists with 9.3 per game, and won the rookie of the year award. The Raptors finished the season with a 21-61 win-loss record. In the 1996 NBA draft, the Raptors selected forward-center Marcus Camby, the college player of the year.

"w'U-V6Y&q9~,uIn 1997 Thomas left the Raptors to work as a basketball analyst for the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). His departure precipitated a shake-up in the team roster, including trades of both Stoudamire and Camby. The most highly regarded new player to join the team was guard Vince Carter, who won the rookie of the year award in the lockout-shortened 1999 season.
