Yep that is the record. That is why I think if they are far enough ahead they will likely rest some guys and could come up a little short. I think 69 wins is most likely at this point, which is nothing to scoff at. I think they would take 69 wins and a ring rather than go all out for 74 wins at the risk of burning themselves out. The 73-9 warriors are a cautionary tale, best record in the regular season, lost in the finals after taking a 3-1 lead. Granted it took a legendary effort from arguably the best player of all time to do it, but still, the risk remains. I could see them coasting the final dozen or so games to be well-rested for the playoffs and getting an extra couple of losses in that mix. But who knows, if they are just comfortably slaughtering everyone without much effort, why let up? What are the fewest losses even possible in the modern NBA? At the current pace they are on track for 75.7 wins, so a record of 76-6 or 75-7. Is it possible to see a team lose only, say 5 games in a season? I would love to see it once, that would be crazy. And yeah, you are right, it will be the most fun story of the season, and maybe the decade or longer, to watch. At the current pace they could "let up" just a little and "coast" to 70 wins. That is wild to think about.
