1. SPURS - 65 days
2. Rockets - 1,007
3. Mavericks - 1,025
Top 3 all in one division. Yikes...
I thought this stat was incredible. Jordan Howenstine put this stat out there his twitter that provides even more evidence of how spoiled we've been as Spurs fans. The Spurs are the only NBA franchise to have had a regular season record below the .500 mark for less than 1,000 days over the last 22 years. And the Spurs number? 65 days.

Fewest days with a losing record in the last 22 years:
1. SPURS - 65 days
2. Rockets - 1,007
3. Mavericks - 1,025
4. Trail Blazers - 1,044
5. Jazz - 1,101
It's interesting that only the Mavericks and Spurs have a le from that top 5 list over this 22 year span.

Even 65 days is too much. I DEMAND EXCELLENCE!!
And all western teams to boot in that top 5. I'd like to see the full list.
That stat has already made the rounds on Spurstalk, OP super late to the party.
And it still doesn't excuse the Mills in Gasol contracts
Nah let’s blow it up and be Sacramento. PATFO don’t know what they’re doing.
Wow...and it's been that long since the Rockets won their les? Seems like just yesterday....or at least within the last 10-15 years.
Every team does a bad deal now and then. The Gasol contract sucked, but Mills is the culture guy. I hated on Mills contract, too, but compared to some of the other wasted space you see in this league making a lot more than Mills, it doesn't stack up too badly. At this point in his deal he's probably not overpaid compared to the league. Problem with Spurs fans is you don't see what other teams do, but rather dwell on the occasional misstep by the FO.
They're doing a lot more right than wrong, and I think this stat shows that.
It was in the 30's until this year I believe
It also shows how good those franchises are. And they're all in the West. And each of them went through some bad patches, but were able to rebuild.
I believe the Spurs are the only franchise with a winning record against every single team in the NBA. Also the winningest franchise in terms of winning percentage during the regular season, higher than the Celtics and Lakers.
During Tim Duncan's tenure, the Spurs faced and beat every single team in the Western Conference during the playoffs, except one. They never faced the Rockets, but did the year after he retired... and they beat them. They've been good for so long, basically, that they faced Sacramento and the Timberwolves in the playoffs and won.
'93 and '94 were a while ago...
The Blazers were close last time I checked, but you're right.
More cowbell.
That would stand to reason, since it's their consecutive playoff years streak that we're poised to tie: 22 years.
