Re: 99' Spurs vs '16 warriors old school rules
Yeah, Parker lived in the paint when the rules were changing and those guys were heading out the door. I'm just saying he wouldn't be the player he is now. He would get beat up and at best be a role player. Dude, did u see Parker play in his early days. He was god awful. Pop was benching him for speedy Claxton. He was scared in the bright lights and scared of getting beat up. 2007 is when he took off but he was going against the cavs in finals. Eric snow was their pg and other scrubs. 2005 Chauncey billips was killing him. All those guys I said were pretty much out of the league. What was the biggest knock on Parker he was soft and let him shoot outside of paint. Manu was balls to the wall and our closer. Manu has been our closer to this day. Kawhi probably taking it over from here but I want the ball in Manu Hands to make something happen whether it's a shot for someone or a hoop.

No doubt that dude is a Lakers fan who hides behind another teams name. They are so easy to spot.

Manu was the closer and used to hit all his FT's I agree, the last few years though he is good for a 1-2 late in games (Parker usually 0-2) and iffy at the line so now it's Leonard out there. I agree on the rest though.

Bulls would destroy them. Jordan Pippen and Rodman would own the 2, 3, and 4 spot on the court. Put Rodman at the 5 and Pippen at the 4 and bring in Kukoc and Kerr and it would overwhelm the Warriors.
The warriors play the beautiful game, but Jordan is still Jordan and would dominate. Rodman would probably go for 10 pt and 40 rebounds and absolutely shout down Green. As would Pippen.
the difference would be the Bulls crazy defense.
In all of this Curry would still go for 50 to 60 but no one else would score.

It'd be interesting because their offense wouldn't be so effective because they would certainly have to trot out Bogut or Ezeli at all times. That smallball lineup would not have existed. Would have helped their depth of course, though.
