Not really discussed much but losing Giordano to expansion team was killer, that would've provided much better matchups. He was still playing at a high level that year.

I'm certainly not pinning that loss on him. I'm just saying he sucked. If a whole bunch of players sucked, then yeah, they sucked. And quite frankly if they sucked, some of them should be traded. Which is what happened.
