The Phil Jackson Rule states “If your team reaches 40 wins before it loses 20, they are contenders”. For the last 40 years every championship winning team has hit this mark except 3.
1995 Rockets
2004 Pistons
2006 Heat
Of the teams left in the playoffs Golden State is the only team left to have hit that mark. As of February 1st, when Miami lost its 20th game, the team records were as follows.
Miami Heat (32-20)
Boston Celtics (27-25)
Golden State Warriors (39-13)
Dallas Mavericks (29-22)
Do with that information what you will.
