Many better teams didn't win a title then this 73 win team against a weak NBA
Regular season is nothing. OKC is showing them that their wins mean nothing
Bulls will eat these guys and their one dimensional game
The warriors have never overcome a 3-1 series deficit lol

It does the reverse and immortalizes the other team. Everyone will remember the 2007-8 Giants. If the Thunder win the chip everyone will remember this team.

Nah. That title still belongs to Boston Celtics against 2012 Miami.
It means nothing if you wore yourself out and had nothing left for the playoffs.
We will see...
I don't watch basketball, but what does "it means nothing" mean in this context? Didn't they break an all time record? Is that somehow no longer the case if they lose in the playoffs?

So teams shouldn't try and get the best record in the regular season? Okay.
I think they should. It would encourage teams to play well in the regular season and not tank as always.
You're not very good with tense are you?
LOL wtfffff no way man never ever make that trade.
And ever and ever and ever. 18-1 and whatnot. There's no way to separate them. Regular season accomplishments need the chip as a bookend to keep it all standing upright; Without it the shit collapses on itself and no one cares but THAT franchise.

Does anyone honestly think the Warriors will come back down 3 to 1 to OKC? Bwahahhaha they will lose at home. Watch.
Consider that, if they get bounced out in the Playoffs, they will still be second place to Chicago for most wins in a single year. Chicago finished with a final overall record of 87-13 for 95-96. The Warriors currently sit at 78-13.

OKC are better than them in this series, but I think GSW has shown us that they are the most consistent team in the NBA and that's what matters.
Losing teams STAY wishing for a Regular Season Championship trophy.
It doesn't work that way. For anyone. Just take the L. Series aint over yet, but if they lose, that's that. No concessions, you lost.
When teams win the championship, the final game is broadcast around the world, the champagne is flowing, the city throws them a parade, the team owner has made several million dollars from finals ticket sales and the players are paid championship bonuses.
How does that seriously compare to winning regular season games?
lol that guy seriously said "just another chip"...the ULTIMATE prize in pro basketball
IDK, OKC fans were bragging that they do the same thing when they lose ITT lmfao
You know its bad when someone tries to restructure stuff to place the regular season ABOVE the NBA Championship.
I mean, damn. Thats some pain right there.

Why do you think that? OKC has outplayed GS in every game except game 2. The same things GS was going against Houston and Portland won't work against OKC because of their athleticism and length. Their defense on Curry has been really good and Warriors have no answer for Westbrook.

They don't do parades for winning the most games in the regular season.
They don't raise banners for it either.
73-9 without the Larry O'Brien to go with it is the equivalent of a participation trophy.

Awe, can't guard a player at your own position. Best player in the game, tho. Unanimous MVP.

People should start celebrating the regular season.
I'm not a fan of playoffs because you have to take into account form, matchups, injuries, schedule, etc and that means occasionally the inferior team comes out on top. GSW are still far away the best team in the NBA this season imo.
lol pretty much. I don't think this series is over though. Might just be part of the Curry legend that is currently being written

18-1 played in a neutral site and had the lead with like 2 minutes to go , it took a miracle for the Giants to win
This is worse if you don't go to the finals and lose 3 straight games to get eliminated

They played a ton of matches in a long season, worked their asses off and beat the record. I wouldn't take it away from them, they deserve it.
I'm really not trying to be a dick, but how long have you been watching professional sports?

Yeah the 73 wins will always have an asterisk next to it if they don't win. The Spurs 67 wins are worthless losing in the semis. It's a nice record, but not worth much outside of a note in the history book now.
Considering the scrubs in Houston came back to win last year, I'm not counting them out yet. They really blew this series though giving up that lead in game 1.

That's the silliest thing I have ever read. I hope it's sarcasm....
Championships aren't won in the regular season. It's why every sport has playoffs...
That is silly--the regular season also has injuries and schedules are even more of a factor--they don't play all teams equally for instance, so if they are in a weaker division and weaker conference, they get the best scheduling. Playing the Lakers 4 times and only the Raptors 2 times. Playing the Suns 4 times and only playing the Thunder 3 times.

Soccer doesn't. Are you gonna take away Leicester's league title?
99% of this thread has no idea who or what Leicester is.
Man go sit down.
This is some the worst sports rationalization for a team I've ever read.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder win game 5. I also wouldn't be surprised if the Warriors come back and win the series. I honestly have no idea what is going to happen. Can't wait for game 5 and/or game 6 if we get that far. That shit will be fire.
