0 overtime games tbh

[Spurs9]

Didn't realize it but, apparently the Spurs are the only team with 0 overtime games this year. Would this be a record if we went the whole year without a overtime game?

[K...]

The Lakers could have done this too, but they aren't as good as the spurs.

That's why the point differential is more important. While the no overtime this year has been impressive, any team could do it, no matter who they were.

I think its great tbh. Last time I remember, going to overtime sometimes costs you a title.

Nice stat. It'd take some serious stats guru to find out if we're the only ones to avoid an OT in the regular season. Usually a team will have 1 or 2 at least. Hope they get no overtimes and go 41-0 at home. 2 nice records to have. But all that means nothing compared to number 6.

[spursistan]

yeah, we had like 6 in month December alone last season :lol..

[DMC]

How about games with the most timeouts remaining at the end?

Or games where the same player entered more than 4 times?

yea with a couple of 3 OT games

What about most wins in a season without any OT win?

[DMC]

What about most wins in a season without any OT win?
Or the most seasons without winning an OT game?

[TDomination]

Or the most seasons without winning an OT game?
Or the most OT games won during a losing season

[Darius McCrary]

We're fucked.

[FromWayDowntown]

A team playing an entire regular season with an overtime has happened at least 9 times in NBA history (per basketball reference):

1 BOS 1978-79
2 CLE 1970-71
3 CLE 1978-79
4 DET 2001-02
5 HOU 1972-73
6 HOU 1987-88
7 LAL 1995-96
8 MIL 1968-69
9 WAS 2000-01

[Spurtacular]

Yea, no OTs when you're dominating.

[Sean Cagney]

yeah, we had like 6 in month December alone last season :lol..
I remember the Memphis, Portland and Cleveland games they flat out blew last year that went to OT, two of them triple OT I think and almost back to back. I would love for them to avoid those losses this year and no OT, good stuff.

Now there's a record Pop is going all in for.

[sexinthatsx]

Just means the team is not gassing out by the 4th quarter tbh. We have fresh legs on the court for all 48 minutes of the game.

[DMC]

It only means the score wasn't tied at the end of regulation. It doesn't mean anything else.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

1 BOS 1978-79
2 CLE 1970-71
3 CLE 1978-79
4 DET 2001-02
5 HOU 1972-73
6 HOU 1987-88
7 LAL 1995-96
8 MIL 1968-69
9 WAS 2000-01
None of those won the championship, and very few were even any kind of decent contenders. Most missed the playoffs.


So, a team has never played zero RS overtime games then went on to play in the conference finals, NBA finals, or win the championship. That's definitely something going against us.
