Comparing the Blazers to teams with 16-3 records since 1979

Hey BEdge,

Following erastus25, here is how the Blazers are looking compared to the other top records historically through 19 games. The list, quite predictably, is getting shorter.

Assuming the Blazers keep up their hot playing for this next soft stretch, this list is sure to get even easier to compile as the wins keep piling up.

Send thoughts! Thanks go out to erastus25 for putting all of the work into the first version, especially by compiling the final results and offensive/defensive rankings. All data originally from basketball-reference.com.
