They swept Mourning's Heat and Shaq's Magic. They got pushed to 6 games in the finals because the '96 Sonics were actually a great team. They had 2 superstars in Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp. They also had won 64 games that year That '96 Bulls playoff run was impressive because they beat 4 teams that had 4 superstar bigs in Mourning,Ewing,Shaq,Kemp.
so ur saying the gsw will not put up a fight or even extend it to a +6 games series? bogut is a scrub, but his better then the bulls centers longley/wellington...yes his not the offensive scorer he use to be, but u telling me bogut cant score double digits against the bulls centers?
To beat the bulls you had to have a great big since that was the only flawed position they had. It's the reason why the Ewing Knicks had the most success against the bulls where they came close to beating the bulls in '92 and '93. Bogut is a similar player to Longley. Longley would not have any problems with Bogut since he's played guys who are 100X better. Bogut in the '90s would have been an average center. It's laughable to believe Bogut would have an impact against the bulls since that second 3 peat team played teams with much better centers during the playoffs in Mourning,Ewing,Shaq,Mutumbo,Divac,Smits.
Who cares? Prime LeBron would destroy both of these overrated teams.
Thanks for the re Zinger of the day..we needed the laugh ice breaker

Man you bringing back funny memories. Zo was tough but couldn't keep his head in the game messing around with the Worm. Worm would make Bogut and Uncle Festus cry if these teams matched up.
I have to admit...I'm a huge Rodman guy....his antics were second to none...theres no way I can field an all anything team and not have him on it..
Dennis the Menace was afraid of no one.....
^ those W's vs. L's actually prove they would have swept the Dubs....
The Knicks won 1....and the Sonics were a ava defensive team lead by a Prime Gary Payton.....*aka* The Glove..you've done nothing but prove my point
You have idea what so ever what you're talking about....
Another thing people don't factor in is Rodman would have taken Draymond's soul and break his spirit after 2 games. Draymond is a very sensitive and emotional guy which Rodman would have taken advantage of.
Killed by Longley? How? Even scrubs like Mozgof or role guys like Tristan Thompson are not getting killed by Bogut ...
Seriously? Check out that roster beyond Rodman, Pippen, Jordan, and Kukoc.
Luc Longley gets killed by Bogut or the Warriors small ball. Past prime Ron Harper is a total liability in that series (who do you hide him on?) And the Bull bench
The Bulls were a product of their time where you could get away with having a top heavy roster and going 6-7 deep in the post-season. I'm not even convinced they beat the best 80's teams, who were much, much deeper on average.
Great team, but the most overrated team in NBA history. And it's not for lack of weakness at their core, but the overall roster. I mean
A Bulls small ball squad of Rodman/MJ/Pippen/Kukoc/ and filler ...
Dennis grabbed 21 boards on Shaq and pushed him out of the lane....for the most part played him 1 on 1 except when the Bulls defense collapsed in the paint....Draymond wouldn't have stood a chance against Dennis....
This grown man play right here....
PS: Shaq couldn't win without Kobe
I took this thread as a troll joke then Scottie Pippen opened his mouth. The Warriors play at a higher pace than the 72 bulls ever faced in their parade. The Warriors are versatile and in much more in game shape than the 72 Bulls were and could ever be int their era. The Warriors have much more resources than that Bulls team ever had. Probably 20 times as much with analytic, 20 decades worth of in advanced, of the changes in basketball strategy. Especially with the new ways people condition themselves. Not only would that team be exposed by the Warriors, they would have been dominated. The Warriors fill up the whole chart. That Bulls team had no bench. It was basically the wealthy man's big three...and other . The Warriors have made 1000 plus threes this season setting the NBA record. The Bulls only scored 544 three point baskets.
Sit the down please. Don't tell me about this Jordan gonna shut down curry mess. They run his ass through so many screens.
"Blah blah blah Warriors are the greatest of all time" That's you in a nuts .
The Bulls would win the series, but I don't think they would sweep. They never swept in any of their Finals appearances, so what makes them so sure they would sweep the Warriors?
Clay bumped his head just a little bit last year and was never the same during the playoffs....one hit from Rodman and Curry is out the series....The Dubs for as much as I like them could never be ready for a powerhouse like the BULLS......MJ has nothing but free points the whole game because you have no one strong enough or smart enough to defend him....Clay? Fouled out in 1 quarter , Iggy fouled out in 2nd quarter, Barnes fouled out in 3rd quarter...that leaves the 4th quarter all for MJ to put his Johnson in Curry's ass
He couldn't even win the battle with Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, forget Curry:
Spurs used a team defense to stop Curry, it involved a ton of switching, including bringing the agile 270lb Aldridge out on Curry, and it was only made possible because Leonard locked up Thompson.
Green is actually a pretty good athlete, I think he may be bow legged or something which would help explain why he moves so well laterally but can't do on offense.
The talent pool has also changed dramatically since the mid-late 80's when they marketed the out of MJ to the masses, I know you like to ignore that fact. The talent pool was a gradual increase up until that time then completely exploded being put on the world stage.
The same "Glove" that got torn up by a young Porker, back when he was just a 19 year old piglet^ those W's vs. L's actually prove they would have swept the Dubs....
The Knicks won 1....and the Sonics were a ava defensive team lead by a Prime Gary Payton.....*aka* The Glove..you've done nothing but prove my point
You have idea what so ever what you're talking about....
90's perimeter defenders
Gary was 33 years old and a few months away from being 34 when Parker scorched him.Gary was still effective at that time but he had lost a step or two on defense. This is equivalent to a Clipper fan bragging about Blake Griffin schooling Duncan the last few years.The same "Glove" that got torn up by a young Porker, back when he was just a 19 year old piglet
90's perimeter defenders
Your point makes no sense...in essence it's garbage...they swept 2 teams and almost 3
This is a 19 year old Parker we're talking about, his only experience playing with French pro ball clubs, pre consistent jumper, years away from his prime, from being fully developed physically. It literally took Parker 8 years to hit his prime.
Payton had a wealth of experience and was still an elite PG. He also played a significantly smaller role with that "stacked" Lakers squad, 40.8 mpg to 34.5. It preserved his body and allowed him to focus more on defense, his offensive stats dropped but his efficiency increased.
People remember the Jordans, and the Paytons of the old era, but forget about the Mookie Blaylocks, the Abdul Raufs, the "Sleepy" Floyds of the league.
If Mookie could do this to the Bulls while dropping 20ppg on 45% shooting per game in the Eastern Conference Finals, imagine guys like Cp3 would do, Westbrook, Curry, Leonard, Lebron, etc.
Bulls sweep.
The NBA rules have pussified the league.
