Longest Win Streaks In League History (*won NBA title)
Year Team Wins Following the Streak
1971-72 Lakers* 33 Lost 4 of 6
2007-08 Rockets 22 Lost 5 of 8
1970-71 Bucks* 20 Lost 5 of 6
2008-09 Celtics 19 Lost 6 of 8
Did anyone really expect the Rockets to win it all last year anyway??
Says it all really.
Teams with Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Oscar Robinson, Lew Alcindor, KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce on them lost as they did. Better it come now and watching yesterdays game its obvious to all we are tired. We actually did a decent job of containing TO's yesterday.
And yeah I'm alright. What sort of fan goes into hiding when his team loses??
After all I've been vocal for the last 10 plus years since the internet hit mainstream and what did we do in that period of time.
After all even if your team loses you can still log on and talk up a Lakers loss!
