Isn't it obvious - they were both under .500.

(Ok - so why does Chicago continue to support teams?...)
Syracuse moved to Philly and became the 76ers. Rochester moved to Cincinnati.

Thanks for the info JR. Seems upstate NY can't keep a team there - Syracuse, Buffalo, Rochester. Albany (Patroons) had a good pro (not NBA) team back in the late 80's and early 90's coached by none other than Phil Jackson. Mario Elie played for them. It folded. I'm a transplanted NYer in Columbus, GA and miss going to NBA games once in a while.
