F that BS way of counting it lmao

[inclinerator]

dumb, should be season by season lol

[Funktion]

24-0 still looks good.

[warriorfan]

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[bdreason]

Last year don't count.

[Mr Feeny]

5 more needed! The 34 th game is against......wait for it.......Cleveland:rockon: :lol

[Mr Feeny]

FIVE more. It's within touching distance!

[CelticBaller]

[Wally450]

Wait, how is it 28? Didn't they win 3 straight to end the Finals and have won 24 to start this season, so shouldn't it 27 now?

[SwayDizzle]

it is def 24-0, f that carry over BS.

and this is super impressive. way more impressive than let's say 15 straight to end last season and 15 straight to start this season.

[SpaceJam]

Wait, how is it 28? Didn't they win 3 straight to end the Finals and have won 24 to start this season, so shouldn't it 27 now?

I think it's counted as regular season only

[Mr Feeny]

Wait, how is it 28? Didn't they win 3 straight to end the Finals and have won 24 to start this season, so shouldn't it 27 now?

It's 28 regular season wins in a row including the last 4 games they won at the end of last season.

If you go by actual consecutive wins, you're right. It's 27. But nobody is including the playoffs in this discussion. It's about the most consecutive regular season wins in a row.

[Spurs m8]

Only thing i learned from this thread is WKYT is a joke tbh

[raprap]

Should be 24 but it's impressive nonetheless. :applause:

[FashionIssues]

24 is what GS acknowledges.

[T_L_P]

I don't have a problem with the Warriors being '27-0', because they haven't lost any of their last 27 NBA games (Finals).

But this Regular Season to Regular Season stuff is bullshit. They've lost games in that span; it's not a winstreak.

the 27-0 stuff is dumb too, since its an entirely different season.. I hope they go 30-0 or something, people would be getting on the NBA for their shitty "34-0 yo".

[Wally450]

um, regular season dude, not playoffs

Yea, didn't realize it was just regular season.

[All Net]

Amazing streak and to go 6-0 on this trip is impressive given the amount of games in a short space of time

[DrakeTheSnake]

:bowdown:

[Spurs m8]

Now this is always going to be an argument people have going forward.
Just what we need

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Wally450]

Damn, I kinda didn't want them to lose. Oh well, tough to win coming into a back to back off a double OT game.

[BasedTom]

6 month break in between (including a postseason where they lost a few games)

nah, it's 24. Still an elite number.

[Lebronxrings]

second to lebron.

[DMV2]

24-0 to start the season will be in the record book for a very, very long time.

[Kvnzhangyay]

NBA needs to stop pushing the 28-0 bullhshit, it's like when ESPN pushes "first player to have X points, X rebs, X assists, X blocks in under X minutes". It's 24-0, period. Nothing wrong with having the third longest win streak :confusedshrug:

[GrapeApe]

Each season is completely independent. Anything that spans two seasons is in a different category. I've never even heard the 28 in a row thing mentioned until I saw this thread.

[Smook A.]

People need to stop counting last season. It's 24, not 28.

[JohnFreeman]

Are people seriously counting games from last season?

:roll: :roll:

[oh the horror]

Are people seriously counting games from last season?

:roll: :roll:



Funniest thing is I saw them doing this on either the NBA's Instagram or Slam magazine. One of the two. Talk about straight up creating hype.

[DrakeTheSnake]

Congrats to the Warriors. 28 > 27. LeBron takings Ls.

[returnofthemack]

Wait, how is it 28? Didn't they win 3 straight to end the Finals and have won 24 to start this season, so shouldn't it 27 now?

This is more acceptable then counting last years regular season.

[kamil]

So many butthurt LeBron* jockriders in this thread.

[GrapeApe]

So many butthurt LeBron* jockriders in this thread.

Or, ya know, people who are applying common sense.

[BlueandGold]

technically, they did win 28 games in a row but started the season 24-0

[Fallen Angel]

Did Golden State win 28 regular season games in a row?

Oh wow, they did!?!?

Guess people should finally shut up about it

[TheNaturalWR]

24*

F that BS way of counting it lmao

Yup. That's like saying a team that won its' first game of the season is on a 2 game-winning streak because it won their last game from the previous season. :facepalm

Poor Lebron taking another L from Curry

[senelcoolidge]

Last regular season doesn't count. That just looks dumb, espn dumb. They were 24-0.

[kamil]

Or, ya know, people who are applying common sense.

Stay salty.

[Fallen Angel]

Funny that people would rather count the consecutive losses of the Sixers dating back to last season up until their win against the Lakers. That's literally the same thing.

[SCdac]

If we're going to start combining seasons as if they're all one big season I'm sure we can come up with all kinds of unknown streaks and arbitrary stats

[Fallen Angel]

Remember Rondo's assist streak everyone used to talk about. That spanned over two seasons, yet nobody had a problem with that.

[SCdac]

an individual is still an individual from one season to the next. But are the Warriors the exact same team as last season? Didn't they lose David Lee and add 2-3 new players? idk

[72-10]

This isn't an arbitrary statistic

The NBA has always officially carried over streaks from the previous season

ex. the record for consecutive 100 point games by a team is 130 by the mid-80s Denver Nuggets, etc.

Yeah it's dumb in a way since the team is conceivably different

[72-10]

you have a good point, but an individual may play for a different team in a different type of offense, for instance

[Fallen Angel]

The Warriors are basically the same team they were last year even without David Lee. The top 11 players in MP on their team all were with the Warriors last season.

Curry
Green
Thompson
Iggy
Barnes
Ezeli
Livingston
Bogut
Barbosa
Rush
Speights

They literally are the same as last year and play the same as last year.

[SCdac]

you have a good point, but an individual may play for a different team in a different type of offense, for instance

I hear ya.

but 10 assists from rondo in a sac jersey and 10 assists in a boston jersey.. it's still 10 assists.

I don't mind discussing these streaks in general. I'm not bothered by it and I like the Warriors. Curry is a beast

but when there's 3 months of an off-season and some personnel changes to the team... to me it's questionable whether the "streak" is still going on.

I almost like 24-0 better because it stands on its own... 28-0 seems more artificial

[72-10]

yes, there's nothing to deny about 24-0

unless they played all home games

*cough* Kentucky Wildcats

[72-10]

the team would have to be deep in order to not be burnt out for aiming at 72+ wins. Those Bulls teams were pretty deep. They had the Sixth Man of the Year Toni Kukoc and three-point specialist Steve Kerr coming off the bench.

Are the Dubs really as deep as that, within this era?

Are you really questioning their depth?

[Fallen Angel]

That 72 win Bulls team went 23-2 in their first 25 games and 23-3 in their first 26 games.

Exactly. I don't know why people can't figure it out.

They have the second best regular season winning streak with 28 (yes it was between two seasons, nobody is denying this).

They also have the record for best start to a season at 24-0.

Streaks can listed for one season or consecutive seasons. That's why it's a streak!

If there's no point in carrying over from the previous season then there's no reason to have an Iron Man/most consecutive games played record. No point acknowledging 3-peats or back-to-back accomplishments. No point to applaud LeBron for making 5 straight Finals. No point in acknowledging the Celtics 8 straight championships either right?

[72-10]

That 72 win Bulls team went 23-2 in their first 25 games and 23-3 in their first 26 games.

...and then took it to 41-3

18 game win streak

now they were probably the best road team ever (there is one team in history with a higher road winning percentage), and the second best home team after the 85-86 Celtics

[72-10]

Are you really questioning their depth?

I know that they're deep just like all NBA teams are now, but I'm saying comparatively - within this era where every team is deep with talent - vs. the Bulls' era I don't know if they are as deep. Has Barnes been starting or coming off the bench this year?

[DMV2]

Barnes starting ever since they flipped roles with Iggy with exception to the 3 Finals games where Iggy was inserted into starting lineup.

Barnes starter as a rookie. Benched when Iggy arrived. Got starting role back when Iggy was moved to 6th Man role.

Regarding what is officially kept in the record books by the NBA, they combine win streaks carried over from the previous season with win streaks within a season into one record.

They also track win streaks from the start of a season as a separate listing.

However, they do not record win streaks that are only within a season as its own unique entity. Obviously they know what the records are and anyone could deduce them but they don't officially record it in the record book.

fwiw

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying "Warriors have won x amount of games in a row dating back to y" ... obviously it's a true statement and a great feat

But saying "Warriors are 28-0", like it's being written by some, basically implies that they've played 28 games this season and won all of them, no?

When Warriors won their first game this season... did anybody say they had a regular season record of 5-0 while everybody else is either 1-0 or 0-1?

it's semantics i guess

[Mamba]

this is a pretty dumb streak to claim. Like 5/7 being a perfect score kind of dumb. It's like the Warriors won 28 in a row except you know, they had the playoffs where they lost a few games, the finals where they were down 2-1 at one point, 5 months off between the finals and he next regular season, but yeh sure lets count it as a 28 game win streak. :facepalm

I love the bucks.

It's not being salty...it really isn't it's just dumb. Like espns "lebron is the only person to score 30 or more on 60% fg for 10 straight games" dumb.

Kobes 4 games with 50+ is a streak
Kobes 10 games with 40 or more is a streak
The heat going 27-0 is a streak
If Gsw swept the cavs id even call it a streak from last season, including their win over the rockets saying they were 29-0.

But no they lost from then until now, it's not a streak. It's an espn stat. Two very different things

But Golden State did win their last three games in the postseason, so would you count that?

No you say, but why?

Oh because it doesn't fit your agenda, okay.

I'd be happy to say they've won 27 games in a row, but it's still an espn stat. Not a streak. It's not an agenda. It's just ****ing dumb. It should be from season to season.

It's more on the agenda side of the Lebron haters who want to discredit Lebron for anything e.g (1 and a half rings saved by Ray Allen etc. etc.)

I've won 25 regular season games in a row..except for you know those times I lost at my local comp. But let's not count that and say my team is the greatest team in all of the local district.

[Mamba]

Hell lets count pre season too but disregard the times they lost then as well, golden state are 31-0. Zomg. Azhor Ahai confirmed get hyped

Get the **** outta here with that bullshit man, we all know what a real win streak is and what an espn stat is. Don't get me wrong not losing 28 regular season games is an effort, but that's from last ****kng season.

Still salty Lebron didn't come to New York in 2010? Can we accept the fact that curry has done it in a weak west where below .500 teams are in the playoffs? Or that most the teams Gsw verses weren't that healthy. What about when wade sat out games in that streak for being tired? Can we count that too? Or how about Iggy as finals mvp?
