Hey Nuggets are on pace to win 55gms....Did they ever win 55gms in the Melo era?
Wait don't answer that I will....NO!!!!!!
They won 54 in 2009-10, but you're right- that one extra win that they haven't even got yet makes all the difference!
I'll make sure to keep this in mind if we win 49 gms and not 50.....because obviously 1gm is the difference between teams being good or not being good. The point is regular season is regular season. We didn't build this team and make the trades and signings we did to whack over 50gms. It's all about post-season and regular is almost over. We're all anxious but let's not get ahead of ourselves. This team has accomplished nothing.
Think of it like the Patriots who actually won multiple SBs(except we've won nothing) and went 16-0 in the regular season and lost. If you ask The Pats which season would they prefer the one where they went 12-4, 11-5, 13-3.... and won it all or went 16-0 and won jack squat. I can tell you which.
Nobody is talking about that HISTORIC season anymore but people do talk about and remember David Tyree's catch against that HISTORIC team and if I'm not mistaken Tryee isn't in the league anymore....
And the same goes for current Miami Heat team. I don't care about their 27gm winning streak, even if they happen to win out. Sorry you gotta win it all, otherwise it means nothing.
SO YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!!!!!!
I agree with your entire post, Im as much of a GREENBAY fan as I am a knick fan for over 20 years..We went 15-1 and lost in the 1st round..
The regular season has nothing to do with the playoffs, as a matter of fact you can count on one hand the amount of teams that finish with the best record and actually won it all in the last 20+ years.
In the Nfl and MLb it's been wild cards winning championships, and in the NBA it's usually the 2nd or 3rd seed that ends up winning,including miami last season which finish 2nd.
I think I read some where that 50 wins makes you a contender in most cases.
No Kg, No Gasol this week and the bobcats..we may reach 7 in a row
