Asterisk beside GSW regular season wins record?

[Tr1boy]

Michael Jordan. Somewhere you must be smiling. 

I don't think the GSW regular season winning record now looks as great without coupling it with a championship win

thoughts?

[Diggles]

It will go down in History as the BEST REGULAR SEASON.   But they could not beat the streaking Cavs and Lebron James during the playoffs.   

No Asterisk but no Champion Ship Either.

73-9 still a great feat, and I agree, great regular season team and 1 win away from making history.

Given that you don't even give a reason for said "asterisk", do you even think there should be one?

Perhaps you could consolidate all your hot takes in one thread, or just respond to others thoughts in one before making more hot take threads?

[Donoghus]

Why?

Also, what would be the precedent?

Makes no sense.

Im waiting for the Sabonis > Curry thread.

i think there should b an asterisk. the 96 bulls are recognized for their record in addition to their championship. bulls can still stay "We had the best season in nba history". warriors have to be specific and say "We had the best regular season in nba history".

The GSW are now the 2011 NE Patriots of the NBA!!!!

Now THEY have that dubious title....."Regular season champs but no rings"

This was also the reason why I wanted the Cavs to win last night.

Yes I agree.

Without question.


Give me 72-10 and championship any day.

Asterisk their first title too.  Lebron would have beat them had his entire team not been hurt.

No asterisk, but now they can't really make a "greatest team" argument.

This. It was still an amazing feat that will stand in the record books for ages, but they definitely have lost the capability of the "greatest team" argument, fair or not.

Why would there be an asterisk? 73-9 is still 73-9. It's not like teams laid down for them.
