Biggest weakness for the Bulls would be the steep drop off in quality for the bench once you get past the 7th man. But I don't think it will matter. PG- Steph Curry vs. Ron Harper: Despite Harper being 6'6" and a capable defender, Steph wins this match up easily. The Warriors would have no idea how to avoid calls of illegal defense, and would not know how to play physically or deal with physical play. With the lights of curry, klay, green and durant do you guys think they would have a chance against the 95/96 bulls in a 7 game series? The Bulls/Lakers would drop buckets effortlessly.
Jordan on Curry, Harper on Klay, Pippen on Durant, Rodman on Dray, and Longley on Zaza (lol) is an absolute nightmare defensive matchup for Golden State. What team beats that five? The NBA is getting so wack and I swear it gets worse by the year. If they allow zone defense, then Warriors win. ITS infuriating to watch short point guards who barely make layups in the paint, let alone can't dunk, bait several fouls in the paint. By Nick Greene. LeBron at the 2? GSW stars aren't playing 40 mins in the playoffs. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts.
'96 rules and I'd probably say Bulls in 6. The Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Kukoc, Rodman line up would incredibly fun to watch vs this year's warriors. Both are good defenders and rebounders, but I gotta give the edge to Draymond for his ability to pass and score. You putting Curry on Kobe??? Nope. That said, their ridiculous margin in shooting makes it difficult, and there's some distance between the benches, even if Kukoc would be the best player between both sets of reserves.
They have to beat the cavs before they can really say they're going to beat the best team of all time. In their era, the Bulls would win. Can you explain this? Warriors success is based on their fire power. 1995-1996 (shortened 3pt line): Jordan 3P% - .426 Pippen 3P% - .374 Bulls record: 72-10, 1996-1997 (shortened three point line) Jordan 3P%: .374 Pippen 3P%: .368 Bulls record: 69-13. would have been career highs for Jordan and Pippen if it wasn't for the previous season. The "today rules" argument only works in the regular season or first round. Press J to jump to the feed. 96' rules bulls in 4. Whose rules are we playing? Depends on the era in which they play. I believe this doesn't get talked about enough. Who wins in a Finals, best of 7, and in how many games. In many situations Pippen covered the best player but that's not going to work with Durant on the floor.
The bulls can't be totally physical like you're saying since the rules are very different. Depending on the rules you're playing with, Kerr might actually be able to take more than 2 attempts per game too! The last good finals was 13', maybe 14'. Curry and klay aren't athletic enough to be starters in 96. For what it's worth, MJ also blocked that damn shot on that play. Though Harper on Curry is also a good idea. Who guards Shaq? Team with MJ and Shaq is too much and you add Kobe and Pippen no fucking way this goes beyond 4 games, They have Rodman, Pippen, Kobe and Mj guarding perimeter and Shaq protecting the Basket. Pippen on Durant and MJ on Curry.
The control to this debate has always been on whether this fantasy match-up would have been played in 1996 or 2017 as the rules as well as the style of play has changed significantly. You can say Current Warriors vs Vivek's daughters team cherry picking and this sub will say the Warriors will lose. KD would not be able to finish in the paint with his low strength and weight. I really want to see Rodman v Draymond, nevermind who wins. Press J to jump to the feed.
but i suppose Shaq wouldn't be stopped either. With Wennington/Buechler, you can maybe get to a solid 8-9 man rotation, but the bench would be problematic. The winner would be the first one to not get tossed out of the game. They have to take Kahwi down to out score San Antonio. If we play with the old rules, then Bulls win. Why? A subreddit dedicated for NBA news and discussion. I'M 100% certain if KD or Steph played in that era they would be nobodies, too weak. Plus... Rodman would get 20 rebounds out of this small ball line-up of theirs... And about Bulls offense? MJ would abuse any defender we tried on him, and the handchecking and physicality would hurt both Steph and KD's offensive production. MJ was 33 and Rodman was 36. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the chicagobulls community. This is going to be a "depends what era/rules" thread, with the majority leaning towards the Bulls. Doesn't really matter, with today's soft-ass defense: MJ averages 50, Scottie 35.
For all things Golden State Warriors. This shortened three point line helped the Bulls the most during that time. God damn this sub sucks. I honestly think the 96 Bulls were one of the only teams ever assembled that had the personnel to guard the Warrior starting lineup straight up. Shaq, Rodman, Pippen, Kobe, Jordan, Kukoc, Harper, Fox, Grant, Fisher, Coach P. Jackson. Shaq, Rodman, Pippen, Kobe, Jordan, Kukoc, Harper, Fox, Grant, Fisher, Coach P. Jackson, T. Thompson, Lebron, Durant, K. Thompson, Curry, Love, Green, Kyrie, J.R. Smith, Iguodala, Coach T. Lue, Games 3 & 4 @ United Center (hand-checking), No one stops prime Shaq and MJ at the same time, Even on defense, they have Kobe, Mj, Pippen, Rodman, Shaq. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Kobe, Shaq, and Jordan? KD, steph, and maybe klay would all come down injured before wcf.
Similarly, the Bulls wouldn't know how to deal with zone defenses or strict rules prohibiting physical play. We haven't seen the warriors without KD struggle vs physical play yet since they don't have harisson shook Barnes on their team anymore. Luckily; MJ, Pippen, and Rodman had the motor to play 40 min per game if needed. Jordan would be matched up with Klay. Absolutely no one to guard Shaq, or either Mj or Kobe if they're playing together in both guard slots. 1996 Bulls just have so many defenders. That's huge. I doubt Dray could even play a full game with Dennis, without getting tossed(or getting suspended) every single game. Modern offense is too much for the Bulls and all the GS big 4 is in their primes. They can switch everything, Nobody stops Shaq and that team also has Kobe and Jordan they win easily, Yeah, and like really? MJ was incredible, but he'd have absolutely no spacing and the entire Warriors team would be bent towards him because the Bulls had several guys that could be ignored on offense and no one but Kerr (a defensive liability) that could really stretch the floor. 90s: Curry and KD die on the court. The Warriors are playing some great defense.
Disrespectful imo. If playing by today's rules, I'd say Warriors in 7. It's not even fun to watch, two teams have a proverbial shoot out from long range with minimal defensive impact. It would be very similar to the way he defended Reggie Miller back in the day. You could say the shortened three point line accounted for 7 to 10 wins for the Bulls. Kevin Durant? Highly doubt curry would last long enough to make it to the finals anyway, that and his 3 shooting would be sharply hurt because of the perimeter rules. I think a team that was known for brutal perimeter defense, being able to switch 1-5, incredible rebounding, and having 3 incredibly versatile scorers in MJ, Pippen, and Kukoc would match up really well with the warriors. Harper can contain Curry, but I doubt MJ competitiveness would let him do that. Ron Harper was 33 and was shooting 43 percent, I don't see him being a threat with those numbers.

Curry is a product of modern NBA rules and really isn't a good basketball player when you take away his shooting (old defense rules) and his freethrows.

Plus GSW offense is all about ball movement, not ISO like Bulls. Steph is built like a child and KD looks like like a stick figure.
They can out score every team in the NBA now, except San Antonio.
Harper can take Klay, klay is the worst playmaker out of the main 3. Last year everyone said the same thing, but then the Warriors got beat by two guys going isolation and playing physical defense.

These guys haven't really been roughed up except for that one Memphis series. I think last year's 73-9 team probably wouldn't be able to do it but there is just no response to the addition of Kevin Durant. It ain't close! It's really old watching these unathletic players shoot copious amounts of 3s and shooting freethrows. Two of the top 5 SFs to ever play. People compare it to d wade and lebron getting hella freethrows, but they could actually dunk and finish around the rim and did so very regularly and very well, so a foul is understandable.

Here are the three point percentages for both Scottie and Michael during this shortened line and the Bulls corresponding record for the season, then I'll show you what happens to the Bulls' record when the 3 point line was changed back to the original 23 feet 9 inches.
1997-1998 (3pt line back to normal 23 feet 9 inches) Jordan 3P%: .238 Pippen 3P%: .318 Bulls record: 62-20. Harper is going to be on the job full time with an occasional dose of Randy Brown. He had lost a bit of athleticism, even though he was still the best player in the league by far.
It's just like Isaiah Thomas too. PF- Draymond Green vs Dennis Rodman: Another incredible matchup.
