So everyone knows the Warriors are on a record pace for wins in the NBA, but no one has noticed what the Spurs are doing.  They might win 70 themselves.

Let's put this another few ways:
No one has ever won 70 and not won the league
No one has ever won 69 and not won the league
No one has ever won 68 and not won the league
In fact, the last team to win 68 that was not the Jordan-led Chicago Bulls...  the 72-73 Boston Celtics.

The list of teams that have won at least 68 regular-season games is
66-67 Philly 76ers
71-72 LA Lakers
72-73 Boston Celtics
95-96 Chicago Bulls
96-97 Chicago Bulls
that's it.  Five teams.  Ever

We might get 2 in one season, and because they're in the same conference, San Antonio could win 70 games and finish 3 games back.  Let that sink in for a second...

lol, so now seeing how it all played out, Warriors on the verge of closing it out.

Also, am I the only one here that thinks Lebron is the biggest DB in sports....enquiring minds want to know.  I really hope the Warriors do it tonite even without Dreymon....I want to see Lebron cry.....

I am not a Lebron fan and I like Steve Kerr, but I'd love to see a Cavs upset win tonight.

Not a big basketball fan, but I live in the cleveland area so hoping they can win....if that does happen, tops off a crazy week with pens winning the cup last Sunday and then this.

I'm not sure an NBA title will change that.

I hate to say it, but Lebron is pretty much the greatest NBA player of all time now.

QuoteAfterward, LeBron got hold of a clipped-down net, a college basketball tradition. He turned it into a nylon necklace, sporting it around his neck to accessorize an oversized cigar in his mouth as he walked with his children in tow this Father's Day. To the victors go the smoking ordinances, and LeBron James was so dominant in this series, not even an Oakland cop would dare cite him.
