most successful runs by an 8th seed in the NBA playoffs
And how many titles?
That article was disappointing because it didn't say, but it seems like to me that there was one - I agree that it won't ever happen with a team under 500, but a lot of people thought Portland was going to beat the Lakers in 2002 because they had such a good run at the end of the season - Same thing with the Lakers - If they go 20 out of 23 from now to the end, I might become a believer - but I am skeptical big time - Can't say it will never happen - even though it is like winning the lottery and going home with a few million dollars - lol, or like a man actually telling his wife what to do when it's usually the other way around
No, there hasn't been one. Lowest seed to win a title was the Rockets as a 6 seed and that was a wild outlier.
I agree for the most part - but mathematically it can happen - For some or many in here - they hang on to the delusion that will be their team based on the 000.10 percent chance - Reminds of some asswipes back in 2001 when the Lakers were really good - some of them were suggesting that the Lakers were so good, they could win all 82 games - They got pissed as hell when I told them it would never happen - not in our life time
I guess so, has any team with a different schedule won with less than 44 wins?
'Mathematically' doesn't mean shit. Mathematically you can go 82-0 as you mention, so why even say there's a chance? There isn't. Lakers will not be winning the title this year.
Like I said before - I agree for the most part - but there can be a first time for some things- The reason it won't happen is because every team plays a high quality game part of the time, but are inconsistent -I told friend last year when the Lakers went -10, that the Lakers wasn't winning shit - he wanted to know why--um 2 and 10 - hello!!!!
Doesn't matter if you agree for the most part or if you agree 100% or if you don't agree at all. The Lakers aren't winning the title this year. Like you said, Pelinka knows this too. Neither are my Warriors.
Personally - I don't think any of the teams look unbeatable - but I really do not want the Lakers to win because I don't think they deserve it - when you play like shit the entire year - you shouldn't be rewarded
If you play like shit all year then get hot in the playoffs of course you 'deserve it' and if the Lakers did it you'd be ecstatic. Are you drunk right now?
I guess so, has any team with a different schedule won with less than 44 wins?
Looked it up, yes back in the 50s a couple teams won with less but they only played 72 or 68 or even 66 games total so their under 44 wins were better winning %s than 44-38

Exactly. So today if you win less than 44 games you ain't winning the title. And if you're less than the 3 seed you ain't either.
Don't blame me - I just found the list - I thought there was a few that made it close - and truthfully - the fact that they made it to the finals - proves they could have won - It only takes a few shots going in instead of missing to change it. That is why I believe that it is possible for an 8th seeded team to win even though the chances are extremely little
