would the jordan's bulls defeat the current Spurs??

[dbreiden83080]

. If you put up the '07 Spurs team, I'd say we beat the last two, but lose to the other four Bulls squads.

I agree although i have my doubts about those other teams as well since they all relied on MJ for so much offense but the last 2 teams, yeah Spurs would take them.

Why are you guys talking about different eras. As I said the 1999 spurs that won the le that year got swept in the season by Chicago the previous year (The roster in 1999 was also the same in 1998)

Thats your argument?
The Spurs lost both games in the regular season to the Cavs this last year
Nice input though

[kingmalaki]

Yes Robinson choked It was his fault he had Vinny Del Negro, and JR Reid as his supporting cast.

Elliot was the closest thing he ever had to a second wheel, and Elliot while special was not a second superstar.

You are not a choker for losing but in the way you lose. Robinsons teammates have nothing to do with the decrease in his production in some key playoff losses, or every big moment pre-Duncnan.

[kingmalaki]

It would be a good series. Jordan never faced a great post guy like Tim at his best. I think the 99 team would have beat the Bulls had Jordan come back for one more year no doubt about it, Spurs would have ended their dynasty.

Um, they swept Shaq and Orlando in 96. Shaq put up 27, 11, 3 and 2 that year, and 26, 10 and 5 in the playoffs (on 61% shooting at that).

[GrandeDavid]

Spurs in seven.

Um Robinson's crappy teammates have everything to do with the fact that every team was able to triple team David Robinson with impunity. The Spurs best (and only) three point shooters were Sean Elliot and Chuck Person. The fact that Robinson was forced to single cover Hakeem while he was being triple teamed is so often overlooked by myopic fans that it is becoming a cliche.

The fact that Robinson's totals never declined significantly is only a testament to just how great he was.

Or did you forget it takes 5 players to win the ring?

[TheAuthority]

It's really impossible to say, but I think it would be a very good and close series. Duncan would torch them inside. They have nobody that can guard him. Bowen is capable of guarding Jordan and Manu is capable of guarding Pippen. I think the Bulls would probably win, but it could go either way.

Was Robinson the only player to be tripled without impunity? The same happened to Hakeem, MJ and countless others before they got help, and they put up steller production in defeat. I am not blaming Robinson for losing (the best team wins), but you don't have to play like garbage in a loss.

Bowen capable of guarding Jordan?????

Manu capable of guarding Pippen????

I think you're forgetting Rodman was a great defensive player and could do some damage to Duncan's numbers.

[ATXSPUR]

The Bulls were a great team, but they lost games to teams that were not as good as the Spurs. Spurs fans have no confidence in their team. What about Tim Duncan? What about Ron Harper trying to run up and down the court with Tony Parker, who's about 10x faster. The Spurs defense uses rotations that NO TEAM used in the era of Jordan used. Look at the way they scrubbed Lebron in the Finals.
I'm surprised that Spurs fans buy into the media image that the Spurs are not a "real" dynasty, and that they couln't compete with great teams of the past. I actually think the 2004 Pistons would have beat some of the "great" teams of the past.

The 2004 pistons were ing bad asses. I am still shocked at this s of a pistons team we saw lose to cleveland.

Tell us, how did Hakeem do in the non- le years?

That's rich. Duncan would have the worm in foul/technical trouble by the mid-point of the 2nd quarter. If they single covered Duncan, he would absolutely torch Rodman.

Oh for crying out loud. You are talking about a Dynasty here. The best player the NBA has ever had in Air Jordan. Bowen couldn't stop him and nobody could stop him. You're talking about a team that has won 5 championships. The most dominate NBA team in history. The Spurs would get their nuts roasted by the Bulls. No forget roasted...they would get scorched. Duncan would get his points but as for the rest of the positions? Forget it.

Really? Who's guarding Parker? And if you say Pippen, he already torched a similar player in Marion. They would have no answers for Parker or Duncan. The Bulls have also never played a defense like the Spurs. And if you say the Pistons, that's horse .

[TheAuthority]

Bowen capable of guarding Jordan?????

Manu capable of guarding Pippen????

I think you're forgetting Rodman was a great defensive player and could do some damage to Duncan's numbers.

When's the last time Pippen brought a team on his back and brought home a gold medal? Never. I'm not saying Manu > Pippen, but let's not act like this is some huge one-sided matchup in the Bulls favor that they would exploit over and over, because it just isn't.

When's the last time Jordan had a player like Bowen guard him, with a player like Duncan helping? Never. John Starks/Patrick Ewing doesn't exactly = Duncan/Bowen.

Yeah, Rodman would do a great job of guarding him, until the 2nd quarter arrived and he had 4 fouls on him because of his lack of size and strength.

[anakha]

I'm as big a Timmy fan as anyone, but I really think he'd have problems with Rodman.

I remember watching the 96 Bulls-Magic series and Rodman was giving Shaq fits when matched up against him, despite giving up 6 inches and about a hundred pounds. And he did it with a combination of Vlade Divac-like flopping, quick hands to disrupt Shaq's dribble, and just plain getting in Shaq's head.

Rodman was a very smart and very underrated post defender, and while he got his fair share of technical-fueled ejections, he really didn't foul out of a game (the usual way) that much.

96-98 Rodman against Timmy? I'd pay good money to see that matchup again.

They would almost certainly have to double team him, at the very least. Rodman could NOT guard him 1 on 1. Duncan would just seal him and get layups time after time. He is giving up way too much size and strength. You're forgetting that was an extremely inexperienced O'Neal and an extremely experienced Rodman. O'Neal also has trouble with these kind of players that flop because he is a big oaf with no footwork. Duncan has superior footwork to combat Rodman's flop attempts and great control of his body.
