1971–72 Baltimore Bullets season

NBA professional basketball team season

NBA professional basketball team season

(lost to Knicks 2–4) The 1971–72 Baltimore Bullets season was their 11th season in the NBA and ninth season in the city of Baltimore. The Bullets would stun their fans and the entire league by trading Earl Monroe. The trade was done three games into the season and Monroe was sent to the rival New York Knicks. The Bullets received Dave Stallworth, Mike Riordan, and cash. The Bullets did not adjust well to not having Monroe as they finished the season with a 38–44 record. The losing record would still be good enough to win the Central Division. In the playoffs, the Bullets would face Monroe and the New York Knicks and be beaten by the Knicks in six games.

Notably, the team had rebranded their uniforms in the offseason that saw a curving line (blue-orange-blue for the white jersey, white-blue-white for the orange jersey) with a number on the player's right shoulder while the "Bullets" wordmark was placed on the shorts.
