72-10

[dynamodr3w]

I don't post much, I may be drunk, but I think if there is a team out there that can break the 72-10 bulls...this is the team to do it. Mark it.

The drew man.

???????????

No.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Not with the heavy minute management going on on this team...

Regular season win loss accomplishments are really meaningless to be honest...

[lakerhaterade]

with all the injuries, the team will get less wins than they did last year. don't expect a 1st seed

[BanditHiro]

na Pop will purposely sabotage some games like he always does tbh

[SupremeGuy]

Maybe if we played in the East, but no way in the West. It's actually pretty embarrassing how shitty the Eastern conference is, tbh.

???????????

No.

Agreed. I made a post about that in the 57 win ESPN butthurt thread making the same point, but I think I canceled it. Anything between 50-60 seems like a good guess due to the always present Pop rest unknown. We could have easily won 64-65 last season, easily, if not for that. 57 is not unreasonable. 72, wouldn't even happen in the East. Pop would probably rest them even more when 1st overall was locked up.

I do expect the bench to be even better than it was last season, which is saying something, as it was great. How that manifests in wins, who knows. Probably doesn't. Just manifests in easier minute management for Pop.

Who cares about 72 regular season wins; 55-60 is enough.
16 post-season wins are important!

In an effort to salvage this thread:

I do not think we win the championship this year with HCA. Can we get it and what will it take?

Two things:

If the Spurs were on a 72-win pace, Pop would be shutting them down regularly until they weren't. You'd see him dressing six players on certain nights.

Second, Jordan had something to prove because he turned the ball over against Orlando in the playoffs the previous year and was embarrassed all summer long. There was never a team more on a mission.

lol at people bashing OP.
There's nothing wrong with that.
The same thing goes for what you guys are saying.
That the regular season means nothing compared to post season.

[dbreiden83080]

I don't know if that one will ever be broken.. Teams these days want rest for the playoffs even if someone was in reach with say 10 games to go I'm not sure they'd go for it..

A Bunch of teams actually.

1973 Knicks
1979 Sonics
1983 76ers
1985 Lakers
1986 Celtics
2009 Lakers
2014 Spurs

Well what you said, and the fact Nick Anderson in so many words called Jordan washed up when he said that number 45 didn't have the same takeoff as number 23 or something along those lines. Wrong thing to say to a guy as competitive as MJ.

Drunkenness can do strange things to an otherwise sober person.

[Proxy]

I feel like most fans of the nba don't care about the 72 mark, outside the casual

[BatManu20]

Yea no.

Yeah, not so much. The same thing DOESNT go for what OP says,because the Spurs would never chase such a record. The fact that we base our position off of what the Spurs ACTUALLY do makes it more valid than his fantasy.

None of those teams even came close to what the Bulls did in the regular season. They played 82 games with a seven-man rotation, and played them all like they were elimination games. The 2014 Spurs damn sure didn't do that.

they did get 6 freebie games that year though

They didn't want to. I think we could have made a run at 72 last year if they cared about winning the #1 seed by 8-10 games. But they don't, because it doesn't matter.

[Jimcs50]

Spurs will be 62-20 again

[Obstructed_View]

Possibly so, but it mattered to Jordan. That's why the '96 Bulls are the greatest team in NBA history. The Spurs team that could have given them a run for their money was the '99 team. Would love to have seen that series.

[therealtruth]

No MJ on a mission. Not going to happen.

:lmao

[DrunkTXLabrat]

This Spurs team can totally win 72+. Sure post-season wins are the only ones that matter. Pop will try to sabotage streaks, and Manu and Mills being hurt will totally hurt. But...

the team is crazy good, even the bench! Manu being hurt is pretty much business as usual, so is having an injured point. The spurs should have traded for Bogdan Bogdanovic and brought in Bertans. But even still, Anderson is gonna be great. Bonner/Daye will spread the floor for (benched for Diaw)-Splitter and Baynes/J Green. Ayers probably gets dumped for a "decent enough scrap shoulda been" Bogdan. The beautiful basketball will dominate the league and jaws will literally grow pimply and disgusting from the insane floor dragging.
