    Did you see that the Spurs' 39 straight wins when they score at least 100 pts in an NBA record?

    That means one thing....the Spurs are the best combo offensive/defensive team in team history.

    This is an amazing feat...it took that miracle comeback against Phoenix to keep this string alive too...

    Will this string end soon?

    How does it mean that to you? Does it mean that to anybody else?

    Is that the only/primary thing it means to anybody?

    10 AM is kinda early to be (still) intoxicated, but hyperbolic "in history" is allowable in that context.

    Not sure what it means. Certainly it means the Spurs are a good defensive team, i.e. when they score 100 it should be enough to win. But I don't think it is an indicator of greatest off/def team.
    Just read you "team history" clarification. Could be.

    The reason is, any team can score 100, but can they score 100 and still keep the other team from scoring 100 and winning those shootout games, like SA does.

    Also any great defensive team can hold others below 100, but they more times than not, do not get to 100 themselves...just look as the 02-03 SA team.

    That record can't be compare to teams from other eras. The Knicks of the early 1970s were a great defensive team. They led the league allowing 105.9 PPG. They had no mathematical chance at that record. That doesn't mean the Spurs are better.

    Yeah, after your 2:06 p.m. edit.



    Anyway, the argument still holds. I think you're right about this being the best balance in team history, but you can't use the 39 straight to compare it to any team before '99, really.
