Gorgeous blue and orange nylon banner that hung from the rafters in the Civic Center conjures up fleeting images of Earl Monroe's scoop shot, Wes Unseld's Buick-like presence inside and Gus Johnson sweeping the boards clean. Bullets beat the their nemesis the Knicks in the Eastern Finals before being unceremoniously swept by Kareem's Milwaukee Bucks in the Finals. Banner is NRMT and a lasting echo of a class act that always played hard and tough.
