Crazy to think they got there in the 66 game season! In the 98-99 season, they were 37-13, on pace for 60 wins, and would've needed to go 13-19 in the final 32.  So realistically, they've won 50 games for each of the last 20 seasons.  Just madness.  And if you go back past that, they won 20 in the season that allowed them to get Duncan, then they won 50 games the 3 years prior to that, so they're working on 23 out of 24 years!  And they won 49 games the season before that!

I was also looking at something else, I thought maybe the Warriors would set the NBA record for consecutive 60 win season sif they got there this year.    In fact, they'd tie it with the Lakers.  But first, ere are the Celtics wins totals, starting in 79-80 (bird's first season)

In his first 9 seasons, their worst year was 56 wins, and they had 6 60 win seasons out of  7.

Here are the lakers over the same period.

That's 12 seasons in a row where 54 was the worst season, and the 4 straight 60 win seasons.

One final random stat; Houston is 30-1 this year when Harden, paul, and capela play
