40 of the last 43 champions have qualified for the 40-20 rule.
Do you think injury played a factor for the 3 that didn't qualify? Adding a key player midway through the season for example?
Was this a rhetorical question? Funny enough, one of the champs that didn’t qualify were the 1994-95 Rockets who added Clyde Drexler via midseason trade. The 2006 Heat started slow (15-12) had an in-season coaching change, going from Van Gundy to Riley but almost still qualified (39-20).
I forget who the third team is.
