Considering that the East sucks, I say yes
The Spurs improved 36 games from 97-98 when TD came to SA.
Given Boston's start to the season, they look poised to make a run at the record. Last year, they won only 24 games, will they win 61 games this year and break SA's record? I think they have a great chance. The compe ion in the East is really not that good and the West has some dog teams as well, so if Boston plays as well as they potentially can each and every game, the record is right there for the taking.
I hope they don't.
Thoughts?

No way Boston wins 61 games, even in the East. No way.
If Boston stays healthy, they have an outside shot at getting it done.
If they have a few injuries along the way - don't think so.
I doubt it.
It's a long season. I want to see if they're able to sustain this level of play throughout the grind of the regular season.
I also want to see how Boston will fare against the Pistons.
if none of the BIG 3 is injured, they probably will... Wake up boy, the Cletics are back in town and i think it's great... A SA vs Boston Finals would be just great
They do have a shot if they continue to play the way they have started the season. Of course, the east sucks and they will pile up the wins against the weaker east. We'll see how they do against the West, but barring any injuries 61 victories could be a lock.
Who gives a .
I really want them to face once of the West's better teams. Not pretenders like the Nuggets, but someone like Houston. I think we'll get a good idea of what they're really about then.
Unfortunately, they don't face one of the Phoenix-Dallas-San ANtonio-Houston group until January 2nd. I fully expect ESPN to prop them as the best team ever by that point. Heck, they don't even face Detroit till Dec. 19.
Won't matter...the Celtics won't get by the Pistons in the playoffs...Detroit's bench is way too deep.
It's possible since they are in the east
Boston looks like they are going to win 60 games or so this year in a terrible EAST, fool everyone into thinking they are the real deal and then get beat down in the finals.
Hearing about Boston already annoys me. They haven't proven anything yet.I really want them to face once of the West's better teams. Not pretenders like the Nuggets, but someone like Houston. I think we'll get a good idea of what they're really about then.

Oh well...time will tell.
I hope their core doesn't become full of themselves with all the building hype.
I don't care. If you ask me, Boston can win 70 games... I just want another championships from the Spurs and thats it.
So far, they only played one road game, and almost lost! They won Raptors in overtime. Tonight, they will play Nets in New Jersey. Let's see what will happen.
Anything could happen. It is a long season. If they win 60+ games, then fine. If they do not, then they are exposed. Wasted opportunity.
There's reallly no reason they shouldn't. I haven't seen anyone say that they don't have talent, it's just that none of those players have ever been able to convert that talent into winning unless they played alongside guys in contract years. Their quick start should be good for the East because the other teams know they'd better bring their hardhats to every game.
They might, but I hope they don't. That team sandbagged, BIG TIME, to try to get the Oden pick. There was way too much talent on that team, especially being in the EC, for them to win only 24 games.
Their pg position is not strong. Maybe tonight we can see it more clear because of Kidd.
Boston remains undefeated witha win in NJ...impressive start.
Yeah...sickening, isn't it?
I think they can do it. And I think they will be in the Finals. Book it.
in that division and conference they should get at least 50 to 55 wins. The question is role players. Do they have enough to be one of the elites inthe nba? How will those role players perform in the crunch?
I was not impressed by that. Carter was injured. And, Boston's 4th quarter was mess. If they didn't have a big lead at the begining of the 4th quarter, they might lose. I think one big reason for that is their pg.
I also think Boston's goal should be 50+ wins. Of course, that will be enough for them to get a top 3 position in EC.
