That team would beat any of jordans bulls teams
Yes that reporter dogging us saying we are the worst champs ever got me going.
Jordans Bulls vrs Duncans Spurs.
Tell me what sort of defense was facing the bulls? Was it half as good and accurate as ours? No.
What about the same play over and over the Bulls ran. You think we wouldnt have had an answer? Of course not.
All this bull about the Bulls is on my nerves. Now, with all the old talk about them. They are clearly overrated. To be honest, if they played this years suns, they'd get -slapped. High octane offense head to head? Nice.
Bulls were great. The overrating is tiring. The Spurs would have thrown them for loops. Todays starting lineups are better, the defense is better, and the refs are lighter with the calls.
Bulls better than todays Spurs? I wouldnt argue against it, they were awesome. Consider todays factors, and they wouldnt be near as good. Longley and Purdue, Rodman,... they wouldnt have gotten on the Wallaces'. Pip...MJ... would have got their numbers. It would have been defense that lost it for them.
Not to say the Bulls had poor defense. They had great D, for what it was worth in the league at that time. But our D, and the Pistons D today? Lots better.
And in the end. Thats why the Spurs would have beaten Jordans Bulls.
Im not biased, but watching old finals and seeing a weak SF/C, they themselves would have gotten owned. Take it to the bank. Thats my thoughts.

That team never exsisted therefor doesnt count.
I may just have lots of confidence in this Spurs' team. But how the would the Bulls do what they did vrs our D in 7 games, then be able to stop us? No way.
If the Bulls would have stuck it out one more year, I'm pretty sure the '99 Spurs would have beat them. The Bulls were getting old and Chicago never faced one dominant center in the Finals, much less two.
Too bad.
Um, the Bulls never faced anyone half as good as us in the finals. That's a fact.
They had some tough teams in the Finals. Those Utah teams they beat owned the Spurs then. Plus that Suns team with Barkley in his prime was good.
The Bulls never played a dominant center in the Finals, though.
Yeah but who did DROB have? You know damn good and well if he had a star like Pip it wouldnt have been a Bull 6 le run.... more like a Spurs/Bulls finals every year being split.
Utah wasnt that great. We didnt have a bench, they did. Thats what it came down to. When we subbed, the got smoked.
The bulls would have a Defensive answer for everyone on our team. rodman would be able hold his own on duncan, scottie would be able to stay with manu, and mj would have owned tony. Those MJ Bulls teams had everything.
Don't you think Bruce would be covering MJ?
i think you can say the spurs could have a good chace of beating 5 out of the 6 bulls teams, but the 96-97 bulls team is probibly the greatest of all time. they were so good defensively and offensively. when you win over 70 games, thats amazing.
now heres another aguement. the three peat laker teams against the 05 spurs. both healthy.
True. The only Spurs team that would have held up against those Jordan Bulls was '99 Spurs. That team played inside out more than any other Spurs team ... and the inside was the weakest part of those Bulls team.
I don't think Manu and Tony would have found much success going against the defense of Pippen and Jordan.
make a thread on the lakers/spurs thing.
but the lakeshow doesnt stand a chance vrs this years spurs. the other 2 les... eh... could go either way.
and if you think we have trouble with long threes now...imagine what scottie could have done to us.
with the 96-97 bulls your talking about great defenders in the starting lineup. jordan, pippen, rodman. and steve kerr wasn't too bad either as a defender.
I agree that the only Spurs team that could have an answer to the MJ bulls was the '99 team. That team was great defensively and also very good offensively and had an amazing veteran presence.
97 Bulls would pwn any team EVER.
I was speaking mainly on the 3 Spurs le years teams vrs the Bulls 6 all-together.
Put the best SL from the Bulls and the best from the Spurs? Spurs.
Just getting to the Finals was a war with the Knicks back then...seems like it was every year in the Semis or East Finals goin 7 then they'd lick the West.
but those teams out of the West weren't push overs either like you mentioned.
I would like the '99 teams chances. The bulls wouldn't have been able to answer the tim/dave combo. Wennington and longley would have had their asses handed to them by whoever they were trying to guard.
That was also probably our best defensive team, and the Twin Towers ownded anyone trying to bring it to the paint. Elliott would have been able to stay with scottie, and Elie would have made MJ work for everything.

The only team the spurs could beat is the 97-98 bulls because they were at the end and they owned Utah because of Rodman on Malone. The bulls would own the Spurs the same reason because of Rodman on Duncan or Horace Grant. The bulls are more of a dynasty than San Antonio. Right now there aren't any other teams that have been dominating. It could change next year with Phoenix dominating with San Antonio.
good point. i heard a few arguements the last 2 times we've won from a few of different writers, sports radio, etc. they were saying the 96-97 bulls would rip the 03 and 05 spurs apart. i say the 96-97 bulls would rip any team ever as well, so why single out the spurs??? what about the 04 pistons, or the 00, 01, 02 lakers?
Same result is what.
It's all about respect dude, and San Antonio Spurs will never have this nor need it.
Talk about fuel for the fire? anyone thats not in a Spurs uni.![]()
agreed. i don't care what anyone else thinks, i just think its funny how different AP sports writers single us out. i think we could win 8 les in 10 years and we would still get no respect.
Bulls vs Spurs Finals?
I see that playing out the like the Houston game vs. Spurs this year where T-MAC scored like 13 points in 35 sec. Only difference, MJ would be doing that throughout the game.......
As much as I love the Spurs, Bulls would have crushed the 2003 and 2005 team.
