Am I the only one who think the Sixers handle both of these teams? Rather easily, say 134-117.

Moses gets anything he wants inside. Anything. And teaches Rodman the difference between a great offensive rebounder, and the greatest offensive rebounder.

Cheeks and Jones guard Jordan/Pippen or Curry/Thompson.

Pre-injury Toney would have to be guarded by Jordan. Who takes him on GS? Pippen tries to guard Dr J. Is Rodman/Cartwright or Bogut really going to stop Moses? And who is left to guard Cheeks? Or even O'Dea Clint?

The '83 Lakers were the defending champs, winners of 2 of the previous 3 titles. And they were the final fo'. Neither the Bulls nor Warriors could sweep a team as good as those Lakers.

The Sixers are hurt in history by the failures that proceeded the title. Fair or not, fans remember the losses more than the win.

Even after the title when they added Barkley to the aging stars the Sixers found a way to lose.

The 83 team was great but won't be credited as such

Michael Jordan didn't get hurt like a little bitch.

I agree that the Sixers are hurt by having only one title. I just think that the 83 Sixers are a similar type of team as the 85 Bears.

Basically they took a team that had lost to the eventual champ 3 years in a row (twice in the finals 4-2, once in the conference finals 4-3), and then added to that team the reigning league MVP. So for that one year they could have defeated any team, any where, from any era.

I had forgotten the Lakers were not only the defending champs, but the first ever defending champs to add the #1 overall draftpick in Worthy.

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

People forget that Portland was running rough shod over the league in 1978 as well until Walton went down with a 50-10 record.

Malone then took a .500 Houston team to the finals against the mighty Celtics in '80. One could say He was legit.
