But wouldn't the fans be comparing my team with the other teams in my league?
If the Lakers beat the Timberwolves, it would be no big deal. But if the Lakers beat the Celtics or Magic (or whatever team), it would be a greater reason for the fans to be happy. In my case, I have beaten the number two team in the league and just about everyone else I played. (So I have beaten both good teams and bad teams)
And a previous poster said he was 12-0 = undefeated.
If the Lakers were having an undefeated season (beating both teams like the Timberwolves and teams like the Celtics), wouldn't the fans go crazy?
