who was the last 70+ win team?

no, first of all I am a fan of the celtics...however, if you're a betting person, you that the earnings are higher if you bet against the favored team. If the celtics win 70+ I am sure they'd be favorites to win it all, making their opponents odds to beat them very low.

As a fan of the celtics, I do hope they win 70 as well as the championship!

Raptors had 70+ wins if you combine their win totals from their first four seasons.

its an obvious answer.

Did you also think Dallas would easily defeat Golden State :wink:

(even though they didn't win 70, they were much more favored to win by all).

Should've sent that question to Leo in Ask the Expert. :wink:

96 Bulls baby! Jordan, Pippen, Rodman. Superman + Batman + Plastic Man = 72 - 10

They followed that with a 69 win season.

Man....good times.

Mainly due to the MJ effect. The man just hated losing. So did Phil.

Here's the box: http://www.databasebasketball.com/teams ... 324&tm=TOR

That boxscore brings back memories. Who can remember when it seems like every second poster was putting the 'Tracy Murray Seal of Excellence' graphic to posts they felt deserved it.
