If you were to give the 96 Bulls time to prepare, how much do they win by against...

[72-10]

this Warriors team?

There's primetime first round basketball on and this is what you want to talk about?

[RRR3]

Swept 4-0.


MJ spamming midrange jumpers while Curry KD and Klay splash 3s ain’t gonna cut it.

[StrongLurk]

Warriors win regardless. 96 Bulls LOOKED more dominant because the NBA was shit in the late 90s...how do worse versions of MJ, Pippen and Rodman win more than they did in their primes/peaks?

This aint weak 90s ball anymore baby boy.

Swept 4-0.

The KD-Curry Warriors would destroy the '96 Bulls no matter how much time you give the Bulls to prepare for them. Bulls benefited greatly from the short 3 point line, move the 3 line back to its original spot and the Bulls have nobody on that starting 5 who can hit that shot on a consistent basis, they are the less talented team overall, I expect the Warriors to shoot them out of the gym.

To make matters worse, you have Steve Kerr as the Warriors coach, a guy who knew that Bulls team inside out.

Would be hilarious watching how easy the Bulls would score with these rules, and how easy they would neutralize Curry.

It would be hilarious watching Curry on a consistent bases pull up from 30 feet and drain the shot, while the Bulls look at each other in confusion like "Who is this guy? You are not supposed to play like that."

Here is the thing, MJ would absolutely hate to play against a team like this because by '96 he was 32-33 and all game long he would have to follow players like Curry, Klay, or Durant who are all great off-ball players and great shooters. I can imagine he would get flustered and might get tired faster than usual because of all the responsibilities he has on the offensive end.

Warriors have a bunch of players who can explode on you with their scoring ability within a second, the Bulls don't really have that. To make matters worse, Golden State is also a great defensive team when they are locked in.

Yeah, the best player on a 72 win team would get "tired"...and he would save a ton of energy and fatigue but not having the physical play they did back then.

[72-10]

the Bulls were a nightmare to get through on the perimeter, I'm not even sure Curry would get his shot off, their offense revolving around setting screens isn't necessarily going to work with such a great perimeter defense guarding them. If they had to play in the more physical 90s era, would be interesting to see how these players would react to the first hit in the paint. You think Curry can just camp outside?
