#1 . Spurs
If you're a Spurs fan who believes in omens, ponder this while waiting for the next home game on Feb. 23: Six of the previous seven teams to win 40 games as fast as San Antonio just did went on to win the whole thing.
Thanks, just made me even more nervous about living up to expectations...
I guess we will see what this team is really made up after the long road trip...Still long way to go on this ride...
We have been jinxed![]()
Great trivia question: The only team that didn't is?
Yep. I now expect our first losing RRT.
Gotta be the 06 Mav worst choke-job in NBA history.
erm, I mean 07.
It has to be the Dallas Mavericks, but I have not looked it up.
I'm almost 99% sure that it was the Mavericks.
lol mavs
I'd have a hard time choosing between being the first 1-seed to lose to an 8-seed (in a 7-game series) and being up 2.5 games in the Finals before choking on the backdoor sweep.
It's like trying to pick which eye to gouge out with a rusty spoon.
http://www.mavswiki.com/index.php? le=2006-2007The 2006-2007 Mavericks secured their place in history with the franchise's best record ever, earning the first seed in the NBA Playoffs. Dallas faced eighth-seeded Golden State in the first round of the playoffs and were upset 4-2 in the series but their regular season accomplishments make them one of the best teams in NBA history. Their .817 winning percentage ranked sixth all-time among NBA teams. They were also the sixth fastest team in league history to reach the 50-win mark doing it in just 59 games.
So they had to be in the top 7 to get to 40.
The 2007 Mavs didn't get their 40th win until Feb 9th (40-9). They won the next twelve games (and 21 of their next 23).
That team started 0-4 which set back their pace a bit.

We had this question yesterday. The 1972-73 Celtics didn't win it all!
Ahah!!!
It was the 1973 Celts !!!!
Ding Ding........
Why does everyone think Mavs right away?
Because 2007 was legendary
Aha! Great trivia question, forgot about the Mavs 0-4 start.
Indeed it was.
Especially for a Spursfan from germany - when most of the ppl around you keep their fingers crossed for the Mavs![]()
