re: Where would you rank this Warriors team in history?

You twisting what I'm saying into believing I'm that the Bulls were only great because of expansion.

No, that's not what I'm doing. I'm pointing out that expansion does NOT water down their 72 wins. Especially when you consider only 5 wins were from those 2 new teams. If the Bulls play veteran teams instead, you don't think they could have gone 5-1? Even if they go 3-3 they still win 70 games. Record.

I don't think they set a record of 72 wins if it weren't for expansion.

You're diminishing a great record over 6 games and are over looking the obvious as pointed out above, they were nearly unstoppabull and even without 2 new expansion teams you can't seriously think they wouldn't have won 70 games at least.

You should just discredit all records if we're saying 5 wins from 2 expansion teams definitively means they couldn't have won those same 5 against other veteran teams. I mean they only lost 10 games all year, but now we're saying they would've lost more for sure?

The 71-72 Lakers had 3 new expansion teams in 1970 - CLE, BUFF, PORT and they played Portland and Buffalo a bunch of times. Of course with 17 teams

So the 33 win streak is not that impressive because they played brand new teams? The league was "watered down" and the Lakers got to play an easy schedule?

Again, 6 games out of 82 and the Bulls went 5-1. They won 72 games. Expansion had nothing to do with the Bulls breaking records. We'll just agree to disagree though.
