1971–72_The_Floridians_season entered the ranking for the first time today at position #. This is its highest position ever recorded.
The 1971–72 The Floridians season was the fourth and final season of American Basketball Association out in the state of Florida for the franchise, as well as the fifth and final season for the franchise as a whole when including their only season they played as the Minnesota Muskies. For this season, 34 home games were played in Miami, with the other home games being played in either Tampa or St. Petersburg, skipping out on Jacksonville and West Palm Beach this time around. The Floridians edged out the Carolina Cougars for the final playoff spot by one game, with their 116–115 overtime victory proving key to clinching the spot, as their record was 35–45 and the Cougars record was at 33–49, with the Floridians not only having two more games to play than the Cougars, but only needing to win once more to officially clinch, which they did four days later with a 118–107 win over the Memphis Pros. The team's biggest winning streak all season was 4 games long, with their first half record being 19–23. They then went 17–25 in the second half of the season, with a season high six-game losing streak happening in that half. They finished eighth both in points scored at 112.8 per game and in points allowed at 114.3 per game. In the Eastern Division Semifinals, they were swept by the Virginia Squires, with Game 2 of that series match aired nationally on CBS. After their season ended, the team was ultimately disbanded due to attendance not improving within the state of Florida despite the owners trying everything they could have possibly thought of to appeal to the state. While the team was close to relocating to a different place a couple of times, they ultimately folded the franchise under the ABA's discretion before getting a deal to relocate the franchise become official on their ends. Pro basketball would not return to the Miami area until 1988 with the Miami Heat, who have worn throwback jerseys of the team on occasion as part of "Hardwood Classics Nights", doing so for the first time during the 2005–06 season. Another NBA team would be added in the state of Florida a year after the Heat were added with the Orlando Magic being created, with a third team temporarily being included in the state with the Toronto Raptors having home games played in Tampa due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the 2020–21 season.
