On the Contrary, we have a 2007 Utah Jazz team that started off the season 12 and 1. Ended the season 51-31. Its not as if this was a "bad" season per se, but nowhere close to what the early season record would suggest. They went to 7 games against the Rockets, swept the We Believe Warriors who shouldnt have won that series against a 67 win Dallas, and then got completely swept by a Spurs team in the conference finals, that they didnt deserve to make it to. The real conference finals was suns vs spurs and even then the suns got fucked by injuries and suspensions
