I'm sure you'll tell me how all these great Warrior defenders would shut down Jordan and everyone else. Given the current rules, the triangle is dead. (And are really talking about somebody having to shut down Rodman?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just a couple of days ago. Defensively, but the problem is the Warriors shoot 3s while they shoot 2s. Also, Durant has 4 inches on Pippen. So Pippen can't guard someone taller but all the Warriors players can. Got it. Case Closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozo the kKklown Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Just now, Hersh said: This is the problem with comparisons. People seem to be making assumptions that all things being equal, the Warriors would crush teams. Well, teams played defense like they did back in the day because that's how the game was back in the day. If Steph Curry played in the 80s and 90s, he wouldn't be the prolific 3-point shooter is he today. He may still be a great, great player, but the style and rules and the way the game was coached/played would dictate differences. The comparisons suck. Totally. However, you have to use the style of play of these teams during that time period. You can't add or subtract things. Just now, Hersh said: So Pippen can't guard someone taller but all the Warriors players can. Got it. Case Closed. Pippen totally could. What I am saying is that its Kevin Durant. He is not normal.

Well than the teams from other decades get to hand check and be uber physical without being called for fouls. That should make it interesting. 5 minutes ago, PeterMP said: Given the current rules, the triangle is dead. (And are really talking about somebody having to shut down Rodman?)

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 By the way, everyone talking about the differences in the rules, what does this Warriors team do with a uniform 22-foot three point line like they had in the 90s? The entire arc is suddenly a corner three for Steph and Klay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 BTW, Rodman and Draymond wouldn't last a quarter in the same series. They would both get tossed for kicking each other in the crotch about two minutes into the game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 If someone ever invents a time machine, we can wait on dinosaurs and Jesus. First priority is abducting the Bulls and Warriors and forcing them to play a seven game series. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are like "the three point line hasn't changed..." except that the teams in the 80's and even the likes of Jordan didn't grow up with a three point line. There was no incentive for these guys to be launching deep twos growing up as kids in high school and college. Does anyone here think that those great players and teams wouldn't have different games and more prolific 3-point shooters if they grew up with 3-point lines??

Wilt in his prime could probably be dropped into the NBA right now and be an All-Star. He was that much of a physical freak. That's the big difference for me between he and Russell – I am 100% confident if you drop Wilt in today's NBA he sleepwalks to 25 and 12 a night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrypticVillain Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I couldn't care less how he gets it. I don't care about him "joining an enemy"... Somebody I played basketball with when I was young is one win away from becoming an NBA Champion. I really couldn't care less that he didn't join the Wizards. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat Seat Plesant two out of three times. They got us in the championship though. I'm still salty about that.

Going Commando Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Kyrie Irving is garbage. Just puts his head down and drives into a wall before panicking and throwing the ball to LeBron to bail the possession out. Absolutely no floor vision at all. Ball stopper and trash defender who makes nobody on his team any better. Kevin Love is wasted on that team. Maybe the best and most versatile in the flow scoring big in the league and not a single guy on that team can pass a basketball except LeBron. Trade Irving for John Wall and Cleveland might actually be able to compete with Golden State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
