It's a stupid debate until Golden State wins a few more titles. Go compare the Bulls to someone who's won like they have already. Like LA or the Celtics. Not saying I don't think Golden State can get there but it's a stupid comparison at this time. They're being compared to the 96 Bulls, not the entire Bulls dynasty. No question GS needs at least three more titles before you can even think of comparing dynasties. But comparing one season to one Bulls season is fine. And this team would beat the 96 Sonics, even with 96 rules. Which means they'd take the Bulks to 7 at the very least. I think they'd beat them. Matchups matter. I think the physicality of the 1996 Bulls in their era would cause major problems for a smaller team like Golden State. Under today's rules, the Bulls couldn't get away with that kind of play. The Bulls never had to guard anybody 25 feet from the rim. The Warriors would be a bigger shock to the Bulls' than the Bulls would be to the Warriors. Fine, Jordan and Pippen never had to guard anybody 25 feet from the rim. And if you think Big Smoove had Curry/Thompson range I can't help you. Sounds like you're back tracking. Which story do you want to stick with? Warriors would beat da BullsNuff said

I respect the mid 90's bulls, but revisionist history is at a peak. This idea the Warriors would get swept is ridiculous. The sonics took them to 6.If people think the Warriors are finesse and soft because they shoot a bunch of 3s, you're not paying attention.Green vs. Rodman would be a war. Bogut is much better than Luc Longley. Barnes + Iguadalajara are better than Toni Kucok.Speights and Ezeli are as good as front court depth as there is in the NBA.You have the Jordan and Pippen factor in the Bulls favor and that's it. And they are dealing with Curry and Klay. This idea Curry would be mauled ineffective isn't accurate when he is quicker than Pippen and Jordan and has legitimate 30 ft. range.Today's athletes are better, get over it '96. Ron Harper sucks.
Bulls beat them in any scenario. Warriors have a much better chance of winning with today's rules but some writer will inevitably compare compare Jordan and Curry and then you get mad MJ and its GG. Bashing the Bulls for the Sonics series is FS. It's easy to forget just how great Shawn Kemp was and it was peak Glove. The Bulls small ball lineup has a big advantage vs the Warriors and that's rebounding. Not just Rodman but Pippen and Jordan could dominate the glass when they wanted to. And the idea that the greatest perimeter defender of all time and Michael fucking Jordan couldn't guard players because they're 25 feet from the basket is fucking stupid.
Warriors in 3.
I don't disagree Also the 1977 loss was to a team that had peak and healthy Walton and was another single season truly great team. No shame in losing that series even though it was considered a huge loss at the time.A great team will beat a great selection of stars most of the time. Malone was a big upgrade over George McGinnis to put it mildly
