Warriors need to go 38-7 rest of the way

[sundizz]

Current record is 94.4% (35/37)
They need to go 84.4% (38/45)

73-9 :pimp:

[HylianNightmare]

Very feasible

[Meticode]

I won't start talking about it until 50 games have been played.

[Young X]

Their schedule has been terrible so far.

They still have to play:

Spurs 3x
OKC 3x
Cavs 1x
Clippers 2x
Hawks 2x
Bulls 1x

I could see them possibly losing 5 or 6 of those 12 games and losing a a couple more random games against inferior teams like they did against the Bucks. Whether due to back to backs or minor injuries.

[yarrak]

They will play vs Spurs 4 times, Thunder 3 times, Cavs once. It really depends on how they do in those 8 games. If they get 6 wins out of 8, I can see it happening. Anything lower than that, I don't see it happening. Their schedule has been relatively easy so far.

8-0. 14 point differential.

8-0. 14 point differential.

They lose 2 games vs Spurs, 1 vs Cavs, 1 vs Thunder. I say they lose 4 games. It might even be 5. Durant always seems to kill the Warriors.

They won't lose to the cavs and thudner

[buddha]

so far they lost game 7 of a 7 game road trip and a game without the MVP and Harrison Barnes. This team would be undefeated so far if they were healthy and didn't have a 7 game road trip.

Greatest rivalry since Bird/Magic :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[NBAplayoffs2001]

I can see them dropping 2 at the Spurs. Hoping for a Spurs/Warriors WCF. It could be a series of the ages.

Is this a joke?

None of those teams are posing any problems for the Warriors.

Only the Spurs are legit.

:facepalm

Yea, lets bet on that Cavs game if they're not posing a problem.. you leave ISH if GSW loses, kay?

Plus, didnt OKC beat em at home last year too?

They lost to the Bucks... and they would have lost again to em without whistles. So this whole 'theyre not an issue' thing isnt working if you knew something about Basketball. You can always lose. And especially against those teams the odds of that are there.

[Sarcastic]

They've played the 4th easiest schedule so far. We'll see how they do as the season drags on, and how they do with injuries.

[Young X]

Only the Spurs are legit.In a PLAYOFF series? Yeah.

But that's 9 games against ELITE (or close to) competition. If you don't think they can lose 3 or 4 of those games then I don't know what to say. I know people don't like this logic but if they can lose to the Bucks they can lose to any one of those teams especially with some of them being on the road.

Don't get gassed because of their start, they haven't faced anybody yet.

[TheBigVeto]

Easy. They will do it.
What would be even better is if they actually flame out in the 1st round of the playoffs. ISH would crash.

[BigNBAfan]

I won't start talking about it until 50 games have been played.

Good thing no ones waiting for your comment

[dubnation]

I hope so but I don't think that we'll make it given how much we'll rest guys at the end of the year :confusedshrug:

Doubt the Bulls rested as much as we're going to (could be wrong). Modern NBA so much different in that regard.

[buddha]

they've been pretty injured so far this year and it's funny how people bring up the Warriors schedule when the Spurs have had the easiest yet they pose the biggest threat.

[WorldWarriors]

Gonna be tough. Losses are inevitable. 70 wins would be good. An increase over last season. Still a lot of games left.

[Quickening]

Easy. They will do it.
What would be even better is if they actually flame out in the 1st round of the playoffs. ISH would crash.

Nobody would care... the only thing that will cause a reaction is if Lebron wins a ring, or doesn't. Like the last 5 years, everyone else is irrelevant.

I guess no one should be talking about the Spurs either then, seeing as they have the worst SOS in the league. :rolleyes:

[Young X]

I guess no one should be talking about the Spurs either then, seeing as they have the worst SOS in the league. :rolleyes:I'm not saying that. Both teams deserve to be talked about even with their weak schedules. But don't act like this team is literally unbeatable either. The Warriors can lose to any one of those teams I mentioned in any random regular season game.

[LoneyROY7]

I'm not saying that. Both teams deserve to be talked about even with their weak schedules. But don't act like this team is literally unbeatable either. The Warriors can lose to any one of those teams I mentioned in any random regular season game.

Of course they could. But they are a better team than all of those you mentioned, so there's a higher chance that they won't.

[Young X]

Of course they could. But they are a better team than all of those you mentioned, so there's a higher chance that they won't.True. I think they will lose to the Spurs twice, lose the Cavs game in Clevaland, lose to OKC once and one more possibly to the Bulls, Hawks or Clips. I hope they lose all those games though.

[ClipperRevival]

Obviously, RIGHT NOW, it looks like they will do it. But 82 games is a LONG season. Teams can get into slumps, even GOAT level teams. All it takes is a few loses here and there. 72-10 is difficult. The record before that was 69-13 by the 1971-72 Lakers and that record stood for 25 years. Of course if they do it, they belong on the GOAT level teams of all time.

[riseagainst]

if they go 73+ wins I'd be so excited that I have witnessed the greatest regular season team of all time.

If they win the finals again and Steph goes on a rampage, I'd sh1t my pants that I have witnessed the 2nd greatest player of all time play.

Obviously?

I dunno... the Bulls were 41-3 at one point during their record season. Warriors going 6-1 over their next 7 games is not at all something that would shock us, but it's still slightly daunting, IMO. So until they start the first 44 games as well the Bulls, I won't care too much.

Then the second half of the schedule is a whole different animal with injuries, resting players, teams gunning for you, etc etc.

I don't think there's anything obvious about this team right now, other than they're freaking amazing and a pure joy to watch. But amazing teams lose games they shouldn't lose. And amazing teams rest guys. And amazing teams get hurt.

[Nick Young]

they already lost twice? That's some weak shit.


Regular season won't matter if they don't win the title.


If they go 78-4 and sweep the playoffs and finals, I'll be impressed.

[Psileas]

What's funny is...38-7 is still the equivalent of playing at a 69 win pace (aka, tied for #2 performance of all time), so it's not something to laugh at, especially since the toughest part is now coming...

Their next 3 games are all easily winnable, so they may get to 38-2. But the next 6 games are a trip at hell. If they can even get a 4-2, moving to 42-4, then follow 3 relatively easy "away" games, which will almost tie them with the '67 Sixers, who had the best 50 game start (but still fell a bit short of 70 wins). Then, follows a new round of 7 straight away games, along with 4 tough home ones. If they get out of this with less than 8 losses, the rest of their path is easier and they'll be the favorites to break the record. Btw, it helps that 2 of their games vs the Spurs come near the end of the r.s and I'm not sure the Spurs will let their ego risk a potential injury just before the playoffs start, except in the very unlikely case they can somehow catch the Warriors.

44 is kind of random, though. They can do it, but more tough games will follow.

Random? Yeah, mostly, but that's where the Bulls season "fell apart" in terms of pace.

Started 41-3, ended 29-7. Still great, but not nearly on the same pace. That's all I was getting at.

[Funktion]

OKC and Cavs only close to elite teams on that list behind Spurs and Warriors. Clippers may one rivalry game against GSW. Chicago, Atl, meh.

[dazzer87]

People on here think OKC is a top 3 teams.........:roll: :roll: :roll:

[Meticode]

Could be.

[Graviton]

Could be.
OKC is garbage, literally nothing but 2 players and bunch of scrubs. They are gonna lose in the 2nd round quite easily.

see.. and none of the teams noted just beat them.

It just happens.. random L's.

Not denying the motivation/intensity is greater in spotlighted games, but the chance is there always.
