Niners Fan in CT Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 For all this discussion about rosters the one thing people appear to be doing is canceling out Jordan with Curry which I think is a big mistake. Even if the Warriors win this title, Curry hasn't shown to be Jordan level just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 As soon as player Kerr checks in, he's getting backed down by Shaun Livingston or left in a cloud of dust by Steph every possession. Not sure how the Bulls would win, even under 96 rules. Can't double Steph to get the ball out of his hands without leaving a 3-pt shooter wide open, and the shorter 3 line means that Barnes, Speights, and Iggy all turn into extra Klay Thompsons on offense. The 1/4 and 1/5 PnR's would get real ugly for Chicago too. I don't think the Bulls have enough scoring to keep up even if their length could present some OKC-like problems on defense. The physicality argument seems pretty overrated too. Outside of Steph and Speights, everyone in the regular rotation for GS is an above average defender, and the team is far from "soft." Pretty sure if you gave Dray, Bogut, and Iggy license to goon, they'd be up to the task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure if you gave Dray, Bogut, and Iggy license to goon, they'd be up to the task. I'd argue that Steph is a well above average defender, especially in their team defensive scheme. He was 5th in the NBA amongst point guards in defensive */-, he's actually a better defender than a lot of people who get praised for being great defenders. Klay, Draymond, Harrison Barnes, and Iguodala get all the credit, but Steph is a pretty big asset on the defensive side of the ball. http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12648764/how-stephen-curry-developed-top-flight-defender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I do think he's a great team defender, I was just thinking about his man defense in the context of 96 rules (which I might still be underrating). Although he could be a terrible defender and it would be irrelevant in a hypothetical series where he's matched up with 32yo Ron Harper and occasionally Steve Kerr.

Death From Above Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I'd like to change my answer to Golden State because it's been brought to my attention that the guys who played on the Bulls are old now This is a joke post 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranesi Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 This whole time we've been following Golden State's story and at the last second we find out we've been watching the Team Iceland movie while the Mighty Ducks 2 was happening at the same time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 And in the end, this turns into a comparison between one team that is arguably the greatest of all time and another team that won a lot of games in the regular season. Must be why the poll is so lopsided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Personally, I think the 89 Pistons would beat them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
