59 games into the season, and the Golden State Warriors are presently ahead of the pace that the 72-win Chicago Bulls set back in 1995-96. At the current juncture, the Warriors are 54-5. Through 59 games in their record-setting season, the Bulls were 53-6.
As it currently stands, the Warriors are on pace to finish the season with an outlandish 75-7 record — a mark that would surely never be touched again in the history of professional basketball. It’d be that absurd and that untouchable. It’d be Barry Bonds’ 73 home runs.
While Golden State hilariously eviscerates the known basketball world with their nearly flawless style of play, the rest of basketball is forced to watch on as the team that shortly ago was cast to the back burner of the league now dominates it in every way imaginable.
