Heat can win 73 games?

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

The best record for a NBA season is set at 72-10 (.878). Featuring Superman (Michael Jordan), Batman (Scottie Pippen) and Rodman (Dennis Rodman), Bulls shattered record for most wins in a regular season...Won 87 of 100 games, including the playoffs...Ron Harper, Luc Longley, Toni Kukoc and Steve Kerr rounded out core of driven team that featured triangle offense...Started season an amazing 41-3...Jordan's first full season since returning from retirement.

These 3 bad ass dudes not only came together to win a ring but to break that amazing record. Anyone think they can do it? I won't make a decision until I see their upcoming schedule for the season.

[Kemalettin]

impossible!

[gshock1]

No chance in hell this is happening...

[kobefanatic]

it won't happen

[rickbo528]

The odds of that happening are the same as me winning the Megamillions drawing tonight and then winning the Powerball drawing on Saturday night. 1 in 200000000000.

[beanbag]

its not likely but not impossible!

[filter15]

It'd be cool but prolly not

[zogdog]

It could happen. Look at the Cavs team that won 66 games two years ago.

2nd best player was Mo Williams. Wade is about 5 levels up from him.

3rd best player was either West or Illgauskas (or Varejao off the bench?). Bosh is like 5 levels up from any of them.

And keep in mind they could have won 67 games except they didn't play the starters in their last game.

So yes, it is definitely possible in the East.

[sportfan]

thats alot of games to win ..lol

[TeamTT]

Don't think so.. They gona b 10 games short

[Kaabee]

we don't even know who is on the team except for 4 guys i think
what if the bench is the worst in the league?

[Herrington]

I think the Miami Heat are going to rock with Lebron James

[Jasonal_98]

It's too early to think about this until we know the rest of the roster and whether Riley is going to come out of the office and coach the team.

[tealish]

Nah, they're so good they can easily win 83 of 82

[Cappinpicks]

If shaq and iverson join they will win every game

[thebayareabeast]

I see them going 66-16

[SHADYLANKY]

The goal is win the NBA championship not win 73 games. I doubt they would want to. If they jump out to great start then it is time to rest them for the playoff run.

great point

[Mac4Lyfe]

Jordan >> Lebron
Pippen >> Wade
Kukoc, Longley, Cartwright > Bosh

Don't be delusional. The Heat won't even have the best record in the league.

Bitter jealous loser cavs fan

[azn624]

It's possible, but I think they'll win around 65 games. Really depends on who else they could sign.

[HauntingTheHoly]

what's the second best record ever? The Cavs with 66?

[Mac4Lyfe]

Lakers and Bulls both were 69-13.

Boston and Philly won 68,

Boston, Chicago, Lakers and Dallas won 67.

Then Cleveland, Milwaukee and Boston won 66

[Mac4Lyfe]

I'll be very surprised if they win more than the 66 Cleveland won. Plus Cleveland tanked their last game which would have tied for the best home record ever as well. Lebron and Mo didn't even play that game.

[MrSink]

not possible i guess
first of all if heat will have last ball in the game who would take it!!!
I think two balls would be needed for miami starters
and last but not the least absolutely weak bench.
But if coach would organize this team well it could be good team in regular season but not in playoffs in my opinion

[3PtShooter]

never...wade prob hurt most of the season

[lolbear]

not a chance.

[Mexes]

maybe 65-68

[juuso]

They most likely won't win more than 60 games.

[Bradyd]

If Lebron wanted to waste all of his energy in the regular season, he could have just stayed with Cleveland. It's hard to make that prediction without seeing their roster, but it's unlikely. However, I will say there is a good chance they will have the best record in the league this season. But that's simply because the more seasoned teams, Lakers & Boston, won't wasted their energy trying to get it...

[Ralphie1412]

Bulls went 72-10 and then went 69-13 the next season. 23 losses in 2 seasons capping both seasons off with titles. Whats up

[Duby]

It all comes down to who they can get to complete the team. With no significant injuries I can see it happening!

[N.O.S.]

I would be surprised if this Miami sideshow wins 43 games.

[gangeriver]

why some members open thread and who ask bullshit questions? They will or they won't. who cares? can we decide that? is this very important? is there any bet "over/under 72,5" ? wait and see

While I agree this question was very suspect, it does spur different opinions and reactions. I think most people on here just want to debate things....And there is nothing wrong with that..
