What are the season long anomalies that just stand out when you look back in retrospect...
Let me give you some examples...
TD shooting 80% from the FT line...
Spree being an all NBA first teamer...
The Sonics in 2005... being Northwest champs and reaching the 2nd round.

I actually think the Bulls falling from being the second-best (some say best) team in the Eastern Conference to one of the worst is a huge anomaly.

The Sonics were actually pretty good that season. Its just that the next season they gave up everything that made them good, bringing them to where they are now.
