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.

I don't think the league "figured them out" so much as learned to play like them and beat them at their own game. Warriors at the top of their game shot the 3 ball collectively as a team better than any team in history. They won tons of games they should have lost because they were just getting more points per shot than the other teams. Now every team's first/best look on offence is a 3 point shot and warriors are about average by comparison
