So, a comparison.
The 96-97 Jazz team had the best record we have recorded as a team for a season, at 64-18, which is a 78.0% win percentage. For our current team that would translate into 56 wins. That is the target. The 96-97 team had a record of 55-17 through 72 games.
So, some milestones.
Here are the records for the 96-97 team through each set of 10 games for the season, compared to our run this year:
Through 10 games
Then = 8-2
Now = 6-4
20 games
Then = 17-3
Now = 15-5
30 games
Then = 22-8
Now = 24-6
40 games
Then = 27-13
Now = 29-10 with one game to go (ended 29-11 through 40 games)
So we will have a better record than our first finals team through 40 games no matter what happens in the next game. But we are on a lower overall winning percentage as a season through 40 games, at 75% vs 78% on the season for the 96-97 team.
Here is how the 97-97 team stacked up through the next sets.
50 = 36-14 (34-11 currently, next 5 all winnable - possible to be 39-11 at the 50 game mark)
60 = 44-16
70 = 53-17
72 = 55-17
As stated, we are winning at a 75% rate right now, provided we win this next game, otherwise we are marginally below that, but at that rate here is where we would end up.
50 = 37-13
60 = 45-15
70 = 52-18
72 = 54-18
So at our current win rate we are on track to be one game behind the 96-97 team on the season, through 72 games of course. This would translate to 62 wins in an 82 game season.
Fun fact, the 96-97 team recorded TWO 15-game winning streaks on that season, one at the beginning and one near the end, winning 19 of their last 20 games. Just flat out dominant. Of course for the 20 games after game 20 they lost 11 of 20 in a really rough stretch. So dips happen to the best of them.
I really hope the hydra wakes the **** up and gets us to 60 games this season, be far and away the best Jazz team ever (regular season that is). That would be 68 wins in a normal 82 game season. I really think they can do it if they can find their mojo.
It might take another move at the trade deadline to get us much beyond the 2nd round of the playoffs, but the regular season Jazz crown is in sight!
