The season is only six days old, but if you’re a fan in San Antonio or Boston, you may be wondering…

Does a 3-0 start mean anything?

Or… Does an 0-3 start mean anything?

Before this season, 257 teams in NBA history started the season 3-0, and 206 (80%) of those teams went on to reach the playoffs. The last two teams to miss the playoffs after winning their first three games were the 2022-23 Blazers and Jazz.

To date, 252 teams have started the season 0-3, and only 68 (27%) of those 252 have gone on to make the playoffs. That list does include last season’s Pistons, who started 0-4 and finished as the 6 seed in the Eastern Conference.

It’s early, but every game counts, and it’s a nice thing to have won every game thus far.
