Because you don't have terrible teams like the New York Knicks making the NBA Finals? And you don't have pretty good teams like the Houston Rockets winning back-to-back?

What was the difference between the Knicks in 94 and the Mavs that won in 11? Both had one star and a bunch of depth

I don't see those players pushing to put it all on the line game in and out of the regular season. Especially at the age of Nash and Kobe.

You have teams now of days that I honestly believe don't care to break that record. If someone ever goes 73-9 during the regular season, good for them. I don't see that happening though.

Don't forget that Kobe's first 3 rings was Shaq's rings. The same will happen now. His last 2 rings will be Howard's rings. Howard made the finals some years ago on his own. He only needed one good sidekick to win it. Now he has 3. And one of them is Kobe the best scorer in the league, and one of them the best passer in the league..

I doubt that record will be broken. Coaches prefer to rest their players nowadays than go for a record during regular season.

**MarylandBear111** · 08-23-2012, 08:34 PM

I don't think that record ever falls. That team was just too good even on a bad night.

I don't see any team breaking this record just because it isn't necessary in anyway to win the ring. I mean really the regular season is pointless for the top teams they coast, take multiple games off ect. One can even argue that playing full speed in the regular season hurts your playoff chances.
