Warriors chances on surpassing 72 wins?

What do you got?

[LoneyROY7]

As close of a lock as you can get.

[GIF REACTION]

They'll go 74-8 but lose in the finals 4-2 after some injuries to spurn their good luck

[Terahite]

I see them breaking 72 easy with a healthy Iggy

[inclinerator]

all depends on health

curry wont last long if he has to break his back every night like today

[1987_Lakers]

30-35% chance.

They still have to go 49-9 the rest of the way to break the record, which means they have to win 84% of their games from here on out, that is just very hard to do, but if any team can do it it is this squad, they are just so good.

I feel like they're peaking too early in the season, but it's hard to argue with that road record. Can't remember the last time I saw a defending champion this damn hungry, but to be fair, nearly everyone's been disrespecting that championship.

[dhsilv]

They might be over 20% which is unthinkable this early to say, but still an injury or two and it won't happen.

40/60 against 72 wins. If they just get a 2 or 3 game losing streak, even after all these wins, the odds go down significantly. There's something to be said about the mental weight of this streak. Once, they lose one, they might relax and play even better, or they will start losing somewhat routinely. But if they can keep it to single losses and not get on a two or three game losing streak, their odds will go up. From here on out, they just need to win a little over 5 games for every game they lose, five game winning streaks is easy for them.

On the other hand, they still haven't faced many tough teams like the Spurs, Cavs, Thunder (I think), who will be extra motivated to beat them. Honestly, GS should have lost two or three times already. Boston should have beaten them last night, they just didn't know how to finish and missed easy shots down the stretch. Warriors have lucked out a little bit on a few close games, but every great team needs that kind of luck.

There's a very good chance they will break the record. I have never seen a team this good and very very hungry. Every game seems like the playoffs for them, it's crazy. :bowdown:

[Prime_Shaq]

There's a good chance if they remain healthy but I don't think that should be their main priority. If they can get it sure that's great but another championship should be the number one goal.

[Alan Ogg]

I think they will do it. They seem to want to be the best team of all time. They want to beat the consecutive wins record. They want to have the beat the Bulls season record. I love that about this team. None of that "our only goal is the championship" PC BS. I hope they do it.

[HylianNightmare]

Bet that up

[bigkingsfan]

They still haven't played the three other best record teams in the league. (OKC,SA, CLE)

[JerrySeinfeld]

There's a very good chance they will break the record. I have never seen a team this good and very very hungry. Every game seems like the playoffs for them, it's crazy. :bowdown:

Why did Doc and the Clippers have to run their mouths this offseason... :banghead:

[All Net]

Depends how much they want to do it? they could if they want hard for it but is it worth it?

[beastee]

If they stay heathy it's gotta be over 50% chance. Last night was a prime example of a team that can overcome anything and will a win. Haven't seen a team so determined since MJ's Bulls to be honest. I am seriously debating jumping on the bandwagon even after being a life long Bulls fan, including seeing Jordan and pippen live numerous times as a kid. That is how good these guys are.

Wow, I'm shocked the math is THAT favorable this early. I stand by 20% due to resting players and possible injuries but they're nearing a 50:50 coin flip in that model, that's insane.
