    Yes, because winning 82 in a row always sucks.

    Lakers or Clippers? Too lazy to look it up. Also, Utah sucks. They are nothing to worry about. I mean, they let broken down Kobe get 60 in their last game! They're horrible.

    I voted for 2. By the way Boob, your grammar is lacking. It should say fewer, not less, than 5.

    Actually im pretty sure stats show to the contrary. First you have the immeasurable intangibles of the confidence builder a winning streak provides.
    But lets look at the last few champs and see what streaks they had during the season.

    Last year Cleveland had two 8 game winning streaks.
    Golden State did start out 2ith 24 wins and didnt win it all, but they were in the finals.

    Now lets look at the longest streaks in history:

    LA...33 wins...finals win
    Miami...27 wins....finals win
    Houston...22 wins...SA wins, Houston outed in the first round
    Milwaukie....20 wins...finals win
    Lakers....19....finals win
    Boston....19....Lakers win(Boston won the year before), Boston lost to Orlando in second round
    Spurs...19...finals win
    Atlanta...19...GSW wins, Atalanta, lost to Cleveland in the conference finals


    So I skipped one that was before the merge... After this list are some more that go way back before the merge, but it is pretty telling that the common factor of the Champs is having one of , if not, the longest winning streak of that year.
    Of the 8 examples above, 6 of the longest streaks went on to win the title.
    Houston is an anomaly to an extent, as they were outed by a team that then was outed the next round. The only other in the list that didn't win was Boston, who had won the year before and went to the finals again but lost to the Lakers.

    Winning streaks are a good indicator that the team who has the longest will be the ones standing when the dust settles at the end of the playoffs. Here is a list of all of the longest streaks. You will look down the list and see how many also won it all. Its pretty telling.
    Foolproof, no. But very telling.
