Form is temporary
Re: Warriors > 96 Bulls
I just don't see current Warriors beating the 96 Bulls. They rely too much on 3 point shooting and they were shooting terribly in the series. Defensively the Bulls are better than OKC and of course Jordan won't choke like Durant did.
Before I thought it would be close but now I think Bulls beat them in 5 or 6.

Orlando was without Horace Grant that series, imagine if a guy like Steve Adams was out for OKC, he is a worse player than Grant but you would still hear shit like "Golden State catches another break due to injuries".

Re: Warriors > 96 Bulls
The simple fact that they allowed themselves to go down 1-3 to a team like this disqualifies them from this discussion.
You cannot look that weak and put yourself in that position against a team like OKC and be better than the '96 Bulls. Hell no.

They are the greatest team ever and they showed it tonight.
This is a joke, right?

shaq and penny's the only team with more starpower than OKC that the 90's Bulls faced and are most likely worse on defense too(no i'm not saying the Warriors would beat the Bulls). It's not that outlandish to say OKC is right up there with the best teams the Bulls faced.

Warriors have faced healthy teams all this postseason. WTF are you talking about?
OKC is much better than their record suggest. They peaked at the right time.
They just beat a 67 wins Spurs.
Magic missed a key player and they had Shaq, but that wasn't prime Shaq.

Finally someone with common sense.
I will say though that the Warriors going down 3-1 in this series didn't help them in their greatest of all time case, but they did show how much mental toughness they had in this game we just saw.

Seattle Sonics didn't have stars. You need stars to be a great team in this league.

OKC is the first healthy good team that GS has ever played in the playoffs, and nearly took them out. The first healthy team they played, Portland, gave them fits, and they didn't even deserve to be there.

They didn't go down 1-3 because they never faced a team as good as OKC.
It's that simple.

This thread is about this year's Warriors, not last year.
All the teams they faced this year were healthy.
