The Spurs have been adding 30+ games over .500 every year lately whereas the 76ers keep treading water in that category, so it's understandable for the Spurs to be ahead.
The only reason why I still put the Bulls over the Spurs is because of 3 more les, maybe just 2 more, and those dominating seasons, including quite possibly the greatest single season team ever with 72-10 regular season. The Spurs could catch them however with a few more seasons, thats to be seen.

Playoffs- les
San Antonio Spurs 26-1
That list also has the Heat at 0 les. The wins and losses are accurate, but the les over recent years are not.
True..there's a reason I ranked the Pistons and Spurs over the Warriors and Sixers having to do with les when I first saw that list a few years ago and I can't remember now why I did it....
Also...the Spurs and the Bulls are the only teams undefeated in multiple finals appearances I believe.
I think the Rockets are as well.
im not surprised the Mavs are 80 games below .500.
our great records now wash out the dismal records in the mid-90's were we would always flirt with all time records as far as worst winning percentage goes. there was one season where we didnt even win 10 games i think
and plus, the Mavs have been a steadily below .500 franchise forever not counting the Agguire/Blackman era.
The Rockets lost the 1981 and 1986 Finals.

DRob was so under-rated it's sickening.
Could it be because the Warriors have 3 losses in the finals, the Pistons 4 and the Nationals/76ers 6??
5 Greatest Teams in NBA History ?? according to the media and other fans SPURS don't even exist and have to continually prove themselves year after year. IMO winning percentage alone put them in top 3.
GO SPURS!! maybe with this new BAD BOY image , and after thrashing the KING we'll get a tiny bit mo LOVE.
Diesel just stated facts....and you are saying the facts don't matter?
There is no way to dispute winning percentages by franchise. Unless you make up who won what games.
i say in about 15 years the spurs will move up to #2 if things keep going good the way they have been in the last 10 years.
Hmm, the Celtics and Bill Russell were just flukes, winning fluke games against teams trotting out slow-footed 6'7 white guys at center. And don't even get me started on the Lakers and all their fluke les, or Jordan and the Bulls getting all the calls due to David Stern's marketing priorities. Adjusted for all of the bull , here are the five greatest teams in NBA History.
1. 1987-88 Dallas Mavericks:
Led by Rolando Blackman and Mark Aguirre, the Mavericks went 53-29 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals, before Stern and the refs screwed them.
2. 2005-06 Dallas Mavericks:
This squad went 60-22 and defeated the fluke Spurs on the way to the NBA Finals. Once there, they were well on their way to winning before David Stern and ABC executives took matters into their own hands.
3. 2006-07 Dallas Mavericks:
The Mavericks went 67-15 during the regular season and would've won a le easily until Stern and ABC executives decided that a historic upset would make for a better storyline.
4. 2002-03 Dallas Mavericks:
The Mavericks started out 14-0, were 35-5 at one point and finished 60-22, losing out on a tiebreaker to the Spurs. They would've beaten the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and advanced to win the le. Unfortunately, Bruce Bowen whacked Dirk Nowitzki in the knee with a folding chair in Game 3, and the Mavs couldn't overcome the Spurs dirty play.
5. 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks:
Thanks to the arrival of Jason Kidd, the Mavericks improved from 13-69 to 36-46. The team would've made the playoffs and gone on to win the le if Jim Jackson hadn't suffered a severely sprained ankle.
uh... theres a little problem there. For that to happen we would need another Duncan to drop in our lap like 10 years ago... which is to say... not very likely is it? No, I think Duncan has 3 or 4 more years of dominant to semi dominant performance and then he'll be relegated role player if and only if we happen to find ourselves a decent star to take us all the way. If not, Duncan retires and we will flirt with the bottom of the west for years to come.
This is why people need to enjoy these years while they last! Ask Boston fans if in the 80s they ever pictured their team being where they are now. Every fan thinks their good fortune is going to run forever, and ours has run for almost 2 decades now. I mean come on! How many franchises do you know who have had a David Robinson caliber player and then on top of that get possibly the greatest PF to ever play the game?
Yes we got lucky twice with those draft picks david robinson and Tim duncan but you never know right?.. whats wrong with thinking that it might happen again?
Yes, because players like The Admiral and Timmy come around every year... You can hope, everyone hopes, I hope we get another superstar to carry us to the promised land, but hope is probably all its going to be. Odds are against us buddy. So enjoy the years we've had, and the ones we've got left. Greatness doesn't come around often.
Nice thoughts, unfortunately, this era of the Spurs won't be appreciated, even by SA, until it's over. That's the way it is for some teams...they'll be missed more once they are gone. And Spursfans will hurt for these days to come again.
The Spurs are arguably the only true small market dynasty in modern sports history....maybe the Edmonton Oilers or something...American sports anyway...
What Pop was able to do since becoming the GM of this team is a one of a kind thing in all of Sports I think. He's a great coach...but he's a genius GM.
