.800 winning percentage

Numbers are great

I like 11 x 9

 

get close to 100

 

Yep, GS was a number liker (73). They got it, but lose the championship. I'm a ship lover!

 

Yep they'll be fun to play on nba2k25

 

We need to win 65 games, bc 64 win teams are 0-3, while 65 win teams are 3-0

 

True, but GSW won 73 games. So, one of them wasn't going to advanced. And neither of them won.

slight correction. It's 17 teams and 12 titles.

That wikipedia page is a list of best records per year. SAS had 67 two years ago, but aren't on your list, because GSW had 73.

But, there were only 16 titles available to the 17 teams. So, it's 12 out of 16 titles went to a 66+ team in years when there was one.

65+ win teams go on to win the title 15 of 20 times, with most of those 4 losses happening in recent history.

 

fwiw: There was only 18 titles available in the years that someone won 65+ games. Two of the years, there were two 65+ win teams.

So, while 15 out 20 teams with 65+ won titles, two times one of them had to lose. So, we could say it's 15 out of 18 times.

Not trying to be accuracy police here, but rather, I think it makes Rockets chances look better to say 15 out of 18 times it happens, since this is one of the years that only one team as 65. make sense??

 

Not true for everybody.

We still talk about how awesome that 22-game win streak was.
We still talk about 13 in 33 seconds
We still talk about the Ralph Sampson tip in at the buzzer

There are a lot of great moments during the journey. Stop and smell the roses. Regardless of what happens in the playoffs, this has been a legendary season that we'll talk about for decades. If we win it all, it will be that much sweeter ...but personally, I'm not going to de-emphasize how amazing this season has already been.

 

flip 66 over

15th best regular season of all time... great... but as most have said... winning the title means more. I think you guys will win the title... while I hope the Spurs tank and miss the playoffs...

 

Lebron broke it, teased them AND made them cry.

 

How does that even happen basketballsilence1?

How do you lose only 9 games in the regular season and then blow a 3-1 lead in the NBA finals?
Disaster

 

for 3 games. Lol. That was question for basketballscientist1 only. Big DD. She is always here trying to bring sadness
to us here. Easily overlooking her own team’s shortcomings.

 

Suspended rightfully so. He should have been suspended more than 3 games. His shenanigans are dangerous.

Unless you think getting kicked in the crotch is nothing.

 

Doesn't mean a thing without a ring.

 

I think it was one game. Game 5. Same game Bogut got hurt. Team finally had enough of Bogut getting hurt.

Edited: just looked it up. Yeah Dray was suspended for game 5. Bogut played only 7 mins
in game 5 and didn’t play again. Health matters. Often the deciding factor in winning a
championship. Chasing 73 wore them down....IMO. Curry was gimpy also.
