will be really interesting now to see if Pop rests his guys at home vs the warriors

The Warriors are hoping he does, because if he doesn't the Warriors might be taking two L's. Memphis is all injured right now so the Warriors can handle the Grizzlies.

You aren't at all concerned that they've lost two games at home when they've been dead focused on setting this record? :amused: You aren't at all concerned that a bunch of their losses have come against teams who they should definitely be better than? :amused:

I said it was a terrible loss but Warriors always step up for big games. TBH they just look bored. I have no doubt they'll handle everyone come playoff time. :manny:

I don't care about their records, the Spurs have been the most consistent team in the league.

The Spurs record is 66-12. If the Spurs don't lose another game during the regular season, then they will be 70-12 which would be the second best record in NBA history. Just up until a few weeks ago San Antonio was was also on pace to break the NBA all time record. IMO that is clear proof that these current records of Golden States and San Antonios are inflated due to them being a bad era of basketball, because when has anyone ever heard of two teams not only in the same season; but in the same damn conference that had a chance to break that type of record? Even Bird's Celtics and Magic's and Kareem's Lakers didn't ball at that level.

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
It's obvious to me that Golden State is feeling the pressure. I think they'll loosen up once it's decided whether or not they're getting the record
I think if they don't break the record there will be an adverse psychological impact that will linger and have a negative impact on how they perform in the playoffs.

^What was their record @Edub?

How did the W's lose last night? Were they off their game with lots of turnovers etc or did they just get beat while playing well?

They ain't handle the Spurs the last time they played :smirk:

They damn sure handled them the first game though. :mjpls:

So did the 96 Bulls play in a weak era when the league had 6 expansion teams? :leon:

Nope. The Bulls were going through Hall of Fame level players during their runs. I see some good players now days, but not nearly as many as the league used to have. The league has moved to a sorry European brand of basketball.
