Eastern Conference teams that could challenge the record:
Indiana - 13-1 (.929)
Miami - 11-3 (.786)

Western conference
San Antonio - 13-1 (.929)
Portland - 13-2 (.867)

It is early in the season but the east is just awful as a whole. There is also nothing at this point San Antonio could do that would surprise me. I don't see Miami or Portland pulling it off, but San Antonio or Indiana could if they stay healthy.

San Antonio will be 5 or 6 games clear of everyone else come April and begin to rest starters. They're old.

The Pacers have the "best shot," because grabbing home-court throughout is extremely important to them, because that's probably the only way they beat Miami.

However, I think Miami will rest some guys late in the season as well. The Big Three's minutes are already down, and I think they realize that they need to be fully rested and healthy for the playoffs if they're going to win again.

So no, no team will do it. Spurs or Pacers could win 65 though.

No they will not. I don't even think 70 will be reached for a while.

Let's compare.

5-1 when lost first game.

10-2

Bulls were 23-3 when they lost that third game.

Lost Game 4 and 5 back to back to make them 41-4 and 41-5

48-6

54-7

60-8

66-9

71-10

They went on two big runs after their 2nd and 3rd loss. After that, they lost every 6 games or so.

Maybe if the Spurs were younger, but you know Pop will begin resting them towards the end of the season.

There's only one team that may be good enough to do it.

And they don't care about the regular season, so 0% chance.
