I still can’t believe the Warriors really won 73 games (alien.top)

I know it’s happened and this is probably the least interesting post ever but when I reflect on recent NBA history, it is still shocking to me what happened that year. I never thought it would be remotely possible. It was just a record that could never be touched.

And yet it really happened. I don’t think it gets enough credit because of the “it don’t mean a thing without the ring” piece but as time passes, I gotta say it’s just a standalone incredible achievement.

The fact that the last 30 games of the season they were the target for every team, no one wanted to see them do it, and they still did it. It’s incredibly impressive.

What's crazy is all of the best seasons across all 4 major North American sports haven't resulted in a Title. You have the 2015-16 Warriors above, the 2007 [undefeated] Patriots, the 2022-23 Bruins, and the 1906 Cubs/2001 Mariners.

Bruins was by far the biggest choke job.

What happened?

[–] COTEReader@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Last NHL season, the Boston Bruins won 65 games(all time record) and lost in the first round to the Florida Panthers, who won only 42 games.

Set the NHL record for most points in a season

Set the NHL record for most wins in a season

Take a 3-1 lead in the first round

Lose three straight, two of them at home, against a team that had 23 less wins and 43 less points than them, to end the season with three straight losses and a first round exit.
