72-10 Will it Ever be Broken?

[whitemamba]

i dont think any team will ever beat that..

discuss

[Juggity]

I think it can be done. Top teams have regularly approached high 60s win totals. It's not too much of a stretch to say that some team some day will be good enough to inch above it by one or two wins.

A 76+ win team will probably never happen though.

[Mao Zedong]

It can be done. Just get a clone machine, I'll do the rest.

Socialism demands it.

[baseline bum]

Not in the foreseeable future, since teams don't really seem to value the regular season for the most part anymore.

This, and the luxury tax, with most likely a hard cap in the future.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i think it was possible a few years ago, but they tend too cool off cause whats the point?

jordans bulls played against shit in the east that year anyway

[LkrFan]

Simply put, no.

[admiralsnackbar]

It would take a team/coach that wanted to beat the record. Most coaches would rather get to the POs healthy than set a pointless benchmark.

[Jodelo]

Aren't the Lakers on pace this year according to MWP?

[Mal]

No, if this year Lakers didnt manage it, no one can.

[AussieFanKurt]

no... teams coast

This and this!

Can you imagine a team consisting of duncan, nash, gasol, howard and mwp? That team would easily break the record.

I don't thinks so Kobe is not in that list

[blah blah blah]

I was gonna say the same thing. Unless something changes soon, it definitely won't be happening considering the truly elite teams always take 5-6 games off every year. MJ felt it was his duty to play hard in every single regular season game which nobody really cares about anymore

[scanry]

MJ was locked in during the 1995-1996 regular season. He just wanted to prove that he was back and better than ever.

[irishock]

no... teams coast

pretty much this.

[Lincoln]

67 win mavs were pretty close till they started sucking in the last 2 months of the season

[Clipper Nation]

Probably not.... the MJ Bulls wouldn't have even done it if the league wasn't watered down by brand new expansion teams that year, tbh...

[sook]

The mavericks started 0-7 or something due to the finals loss the year before and finished with 67 games. They could have done it..

Yes it will be broken some day. It will happen where the greatest players in the game collude and no one can stop them, then rules will change, player ratings will develop and players will have to go where they are needed, not where they want to go. The league will wrest back control of the supply/demand aspect and players who refuse to follow along will be banned from the league. Otherwise the NBA faces a bad future where only big markets compete for rings. In the future, it will be a world league, and someone will destroy the records. Then Skynet will be erected and the bots will take over the world.

alex jones is that you?

[Ashy Larry]

most people forget they almost went back-to-back 70s winning 69 the year after (lost to Knix in last game).......

[Monkeyboy14]

I think i can be beaten by a lebron team. But only if he shows up like its a game 7 every single damn night. And doesn't miss one game
