Best winning % past 18 years.

[MultiTroll]

San Antonio has clinched a playoff berth in 18 consecutive seasons – the longest active streak in the NBA. In the past 18 seasons, the Spurs also have the best winning percentage over any 18-year span in NBA history.

[ambchang]

If the Spurs can make it again this year, they would be tied with the Russell Celtics with the 4th longest playoff appearance streak of all time, behind the Syracuse Nationals/Philly 76ers, Paxson/Drexler/Robinson/Rasheed Blazers, and Stockton Jazz

Any doubt that the Spurs and Lakers have dominated the NBA during the Duncan/Kobe reign? The Spurs or Lakers lead the NBA in wins -- as in, are 1st and 2nd -- in each of the playoff rounds during that time:

First Round Wins

IND - 37
DAL - 36

And no, I won`t. I am not putting the late 80s Pistons on higher ground than the 70s Celtics because they won b2b.

So sorry to offend you with the spelling, Chang, I'll take it up with swiftkey. You've been pointed out by a few for your comparison being racist, which wouldn't be a big deal in this forum if you didn't deny it so much.

Repeat champions are a rarity, they had proven they didn't win at the whim of fate's dice roll like the Warriors being healthy while nobody else seemed to be. It means more than a win %, since the ultimate goal is to win the last game - not the most games.

And winning 5 titles over 16 years, including 3 over 5 years is winning on a whim?

And obviously winning titles is more significant than winning %. The matter is when the title counts are the same, winning % comes as a tie breaker because it signifies a consistent pattern of excellence.

There's plenty of racists out here, Chang, but only a few try to logically defend their racism. That's when it gets called out since telling the choir to sing is redundant.

Also, winning in repetition means you were simply the best without room to dispute that fact. It means you weren't one of the best, but rather simply the best because lightning shouldn't strike twice, let alone trice. Winning % is just an empty statistic since it doesn't mean anything at the end of the day. You don't call a team with a high winning % anything special, but you repeat people feel that team did something special. That's why you hear of the Jordan and Shaq 3peats so much, but only in niche audiences you hear of winning % like it's a huge accomplishment.

so your argument about me being racist is because I am. And despite proof after proof showing me not being one, you applied you flawed and twisted logic is good enough.

And winning 5 titles is not enough evidence for you? You have a very poor understanding of statistics. Your basic assumption is that titles involve good luck (it does) and if and only if winning titles consecutively removes all doubt of the luck element, despite the fact that it is entirely possible for luck to happen consecutively, no mater how many times in a row.

The Spurs won five times in the Duncan era, and your argument is that they just won by chance five separate times?

What I do know is that teams do not shoot 20FTAs in the 4th quarter of elimination games by chance though, lakers did it 3 separate times (non consecutive), each time in a title year. Raises questions doesn't it?

And a high winning percentage is something special. Even 90s sonics blazers and 00 Suns are held in high regard despite them never winning a title. Now the Spurs not only have a high winning %, they won five consecutive titles.

Catastrophe. I'll take '84,,,the entire playoff run to the grave. It was beset by calamity,,,Magic losing track of the clock Vs. Dallas was just the beginning. They (Media & Celtic nation) wanted us to do EXACTLY what we did. We followed their script to-the-letter. Absolutely fantastic 30+ years later. It never grows old.

I was never so miserable and put upon. Inconsolable. I knew not what to do. All I could do was marinade in my own juices. It's like I could see it all happening before it happened because that was where we were at that time and place. The Celtics owned us. And we went right down the pipe step-by-step as preordained. It was incredible.

It wasn't even a steal. Just a pass to the opponent. Worthy wanted it to end, to be over, to go home to California. He rehabbed, yes, but, he never got over that. Never.
