Shouldn't there be a separate thread for each baseball team?

Finding accurate standings and records online is so difficult.

If a baseball team started 24-0, or challenged the 116 wins by the Cubs and Mariners in a single season, you had better believe it wouldn't be in the watercooler section. If it were the Yankees, Red Sox, or Cubs forget about decorum. Here is a team on a historic run, it should be celebrated.

Hear! Hear!!

68-7 after a comeback, OT , road win against a team desperately needing the W to keep its playoff hopes alive. Don't wanna jinx it, but I think tonight's game was maybe the last, biggest hurdle to clear, and 73 looks very likely now. Now they're one win closer and can still lose two (Spurs + 1) to achieve the record.

[talkinbaseball]

103-96 with an overtime win over the Jazz.The franchise record with their 68th win of the season. They host the visiting Celtics on Friday night.

Still chasing History, and getting ever so close.

The Warriors are 36-0 at home.
San Antonio is 38-0 at home.
espn tonight, vs. the Celtics.

John

[talkinbaseball]

The Celtics with a nice win over the Warriors.
The Regular season Home streak is over.
They have to win five of their last six games to break the record.

22 turnovers last night.

San Antonio is 39-0 at home, still have to face the Warriors one last time.

John

[CMIZ5290]

watch out for San Antonio, the Warriors seem awful cocky.....

[talkinbaseball]

The Warriors are back on track.
136-111 over portland, their home winning streak has started again.
They'll attempt to be the second team to win 70 games in a single season in NBA history.

I need to check if the Bulls in their big year lost to such a bad team records wise. Plus 2 losses at home now by G.S....still super team but we talking about comparing them to that Bulls team......

[clydepepper]

73 won't happen...no way they beat the Spurs in San Antonio.

[talkinbaseball]

The Warriors lose to the Timberwolves in overtime, 124-117.

They have lost their last 2 of 3 at Oracle.

4 games left, two with San Antonio.
They Host the Spurs on Thursday night.

I would of said no way the T-Wolves win yesterday at Golden State..especially that G.S. had lost a game not long ago

Too much obsession with 73. Who cares really? It's all about the championship.

Jordan, that's why. People talk about Bird's winning teams and Magic's too. Who was on Houston?

73: unlikely, perhaps, but NOT impossible...Popovich's belief in resting key players for the playoffs may (or may not) be the determining factor.

ETA - great seasons for both teams - will be fun to watch if both teams are at full-strength these last two head-to-head match-ups and in a 7-game series as well.

[talkinbaseball]

The Warriors are the second team in NBA History to reach 70 wins.

The Warriors with a win over San Antonio.

3 games to go, one in San Antonio, where they have not lost all year.

Houston did win back to back championships at at time where many people today watched them so its not like we are talking about a team in the 40s...akeem and drexler both in the Hall of Fame...they were a 6th seed one year..if they had won 73 games in one of those seasons, you cant say we wouldnt be talking about them.....or if you don tthink anyone on G.S. is as good as Jordon and Bird and that team would be like Houston (both winning back to back champs, but noone like Jordan etc) because no big players...thats my point...win 73 games and people will talk about them a loot more than 72 wins -- 20 years from now if thats still the record..

[Peter_Spaeth]

Whatever. To me it's meaningless. The regular season, especially in the NBA where half the league makes the playoffs, is pretty meaningless. Half of those wins were against horrible teams whose seasons were over and could not have cared less and just wanted to get it over with. If Curry et al can win back to back titles, that will be something significant.

I disagree. A championship is clearly more important. But the most wins in league history? That's pretty impressive. Half of any teams wins were against similar teams that weren't competitive. Many teams have won back to back titles. Someone wins a title every year. Only 1 has won 72 games before.

[esehombre]

Didnt the '96 Bulls lose 2 games at home? Although I dont expect it I certainly think the Warriors are capable of beating SA at home. Heck, the Warriors are almost unbeatable against the best teams in the NBA. It is a good thing they wont be facing the Lakers or Timberwolves in the first round.

Can you name without looking the major league baseball record for wins in a season?

I believe the Mariners broke that record one year after griffey left. I can't name the year but think the total was 114.

Nope number is wrong. qed

[pokerplyr80]

I looked it up after I posted, looks like they tied the Cubs record of 116 wins, although with 10 more losses. I see your point, but I think there is more significance to this record as it breaks the Bulls record with Jordan.

More people would remember those Mariners had they won the series.

exactly my point!!!!!!

My point was you need both. It won't mean much without a title. But 73-9 with a title and it would be hard to argue against them as the greatest team of all time. I disagree with calling it meaningless.

The 2001 Mariners won 116 games. I remember the season very well. The M's lost their last game of the regular season, and failed to eclipse the Cubs record. They faced the New York Yankees in the ALCS and lost 4-2 in a playoff series with a great deal of patriotic fervor after 9/11.

I agree with you on this point, if Golden State loses one of their final three games, and fail to best the 95-96 Bulls, it will dampen their spirits. Even if they best the record, but do not win the championship, they may be remembered as an anomaly like the 2001 Mariners. However, I do not see a team that can beat them in a seven game series with home court.

There is no chance IMO this team, 73 wins or not, is better than the Magic Kareem Worthy Lakers, or the Bird McHale Parish Walton DJ Celtics.

There is no right or wrong answer on issues like that, but they're fun to discuss. I think many would view this season as the greatest ever with a title and the record. But it's hard to compare against a dynasty that won 4, 5, or 6 titles. But either of those examples, one season against this year's golden state team, or the 96 Bulls, the results and records speak for themselves.

[talkinbaseball]

The Warriors grind it out against Memphis.

Still Chasing History.

Draymond Green with a great game.

Two games to go.

At San Antonio tonight, April 10th.
NBA TV at 7:00.M. EST, enjoy

You cant say this era is easier than back in the day just like that...there are far better european players on teams that were not playing in the 50s to 80s and far less in the 90s compared to today...there were no tony parkers, dirk norwiski, ginoobli etc...given the same opportunites back in the magic days....

[chaddurbin]

ironic the op's name is talkingbaseball. even if they get the record and championship they are no way the best team ever. this ain't baseball anyway, you can't compare different eras with all the rule changes.

curry is a freak and god-moding the game right now and opening up everything else for the team. the developers seriously need to nerf his abilities to balance out the game. take out curry and they'd have trouble grinding out a series vs a bottom seed. talk about draymond's swagger that gives the team confidence etc but you need curry's execution to back it up.

[itjclarke]

Minute to go, looks like they've ended the 18 year losing streak in SA and tied the Bulls. Gotta give it up to these guys, they're making it really tough at the end of the year by losing to lesser teams, but keep stepping up against the top teams. Last game at home is no gimme, but think most didn't give them a shot to run the table after that Twolves loss.

Lots are making the argument that their players need rest, but Curry's minutes have been pretty moderate all year (he's sat like a dozen or more 4th quarters, and all the guys that needed to get healthy are back (Festus, Bogut, Iguadola). I actually think going for the record, as opposed to sitting guys, will help them by keeping them sharp. I'd rather enter the playoffs having won "must win" type games, as opposed to playing out the final month on cruise control.

No matter what, this has been a fun ride.

[talkinbaseball]

The Golden State Warriors with an inspired win. They end their streak of 33 regular season losses at San Antonio. They have tied the Bulls with 72 wins, Wednesday against Memphis at Oracle for the all time record.
also,34 road wins.
