Klay Thompson is prone to say something that will make most NBA fans go ‘umm, what?’. This is certainly one.
I’m a fan of the Golden State Warriors and what they’re currently doing in The Bay, but this I thoroughly disagree with, this is silly. I thought the ‘Big 3’ Miami Heat had a chance to do it. (and you thought it too at some point, don’t lie) What is “it” by the way? Breaking the All-Time wins in a regular season. The magical 72 made my MJ’s Bulls. Miami got close. But Klay believes that they have a chance to do it.
“That’s going to be a tough one,” Thompson said on a Google Hangouts Q&A with ShotTracker, a wearable tech company he partnered with. “We’ll try. There are so many good teams. We’ll try. We did get 67 wins last year, which was an amazing feat. We might be able to get 70. It’s going to depend a lot on health, obviously, and a lot of lucky bounces that go our way.
“Seventy-two wins, that’s a lot of wins, man. I don’t know if that will be done again, but hey man, we might be the team to do it just because we reached 67 last year. And if we stay focused and we take every game serious, we should have a chance to reach 70. It won’t be easy. It will be extremely difficult, but you know what? Why not?”
I don’t think the Warriors will break the record. I believe that they’ll win the West again, I believe they’ll go back-to-back. but I don’t believe that they’ll break this historic record. That’s too much of a mountain to climb.
