Basketball Is the Bulls' record 72 wins under threat?

[Hands]

Do you guys think that the Bulls' record of 72 wins in a season is under threat?

The Lakers are currently 12-1 and have been impressive!
Just check out how they spanked the Nets by almost 30!
Kobe had an off night, Gasol sat the entire 4th quarter.

I think the record is definitely under threat but whether it will be broken, I dunno

i think they could and probably will get close to 70, but i don't see them breaking it. maybe its my bias as a lifelong Bulls fan, idk, but only losing 10 times is very tough to do. Even a 2 game "slump" puts breaking the record in jeopardy.

No

Big statement ^^^ Straight to the point lol - I love it

Hey Ewilkens, speaking of back to back losses, I remember the Bulls were on target for a MUCH better record then they were shocked two games in a row. One loss was to Denver, a noob team back then and that hurted their record a lot.

You are right mate - the Lakers can't afford to drop a couple of soft games

It will not happen with the Lakers or anyone else this year.

 

[GotGibson?]

Not gonna happen.

1995-96 Chicago Bulls Games - Basketball-Reference.com

The Bulls records and FULL results that year.... WOW!!!!!!

streaks of 13 wins...18 wins and 9 playoff wins in a row... WOW that is more wins that a lot of teams have in a FULL season LOL

 

[ewilkens]

i remember being truly surprised every time the Bulls lost a game that year.

 

[Hands]

That brought back memories!

Denver broke that 18 win streak

I counted 3 losses by the Bulls that were just by one point

If the Knicks didn't stole a playoff win in overtime, the Bulls would have had a 15 win streak in the playoffs!
WOW! Puts everything into perspective doesn't it?

The Lakers don't have much of a chance do they?

 

[glendavis]

No not with the number of quality basketball teams there are in BOTH conferences. To me though the east is BETTER then the west.

i remember that denver game at mcnichols! that was mcdyess rookie year and dikembe was still on the team

 

[David 0]

I dont think so, one bad stretch can basically end any hope of 72 wins. But I guess it COULD happen, but I highly doubt it.

The Lakers only loss was to Detroit at home this year. Detroit dominated them too. The Lakers will lose 15 games at least.

Lets hope the lakers can do it! Go Lake Show!!

What are they 16-1. I am not going to doubt any team that is this deep and strong. This is like the Dallas teams from a few years ago, but with a true finisher on the team and more depth. They have 10 players that could get legit time on almost any team in the league.

I say if they make it to 38-3 at the midpoint that they will probably do it.
