IMO: if youre under 35, cannot compare Warriors and Bulls

I see a lot of wannabes who just want to assume the Warriors, who have an amazing fast past brand of basketball that still emphasizes defense, multiple shooters and ace defenders, would get outclassed and outmuscled by the Bulls who struggled with some weak Jazz teams, are under 35 and are not qualified to make this comparison.
The problem is the older generation of "experts" aren't really experts, it's nothing more than simple conjecture and assumption.
One team went 72-10, the other went 73-9... they played in different eras and had similar margins of victories.. Jordan is the best player of all time but Curry has a case to be a top 5 player of all time when all is said and done, his offensive game is that amazing.
I don't think Thompson and Green are as good as Pippen and Rodman either, but again.
The league was having expansion teams back then and this was a weird year for the league this year.
I'm not over 35 either so I'm not gonna bother to compare, my opinion is that the hypothetical series where Kerr the player has to play Kerr the coach would go 6-7 games.
But if you're under 35, shut the frick up with your Bulls knob slobbering. It's just a built in nostalgia that people want to assume the past is automatically better than the present.

You an expert?

So someone who was 13 years old during the Bulls season is unqualified to have an opinion?

No, but I don't pretend to be on this pointless subject of comparing great teams from two entirely different eras.
Look at the box scores back then of games... NBA Finals games had scores like: 84-82, 77-69, 96-54, etc
The league has changed, times have changed.

The exact opposite can be said as well
Lebron wins a ring, he's the GOAT!!!
Someone makes a game winner, BEST GAME EVER!!!

if you are over 35, you are too busy to watch warriors cause you likely have kids and when the bulls were going you probably only watched 14 games tops (unless you were in Chicago)
so frick off
so frick off

Scoring was higher as a whole in the 90s if I'm not mistaken

If you're 32 years old, you have a vague recollection of the 95-96 Bulls when you were 12, and busy hanging out with friends and probably getting introduced to smoking pot and starting to like girls.
It works both ways pal

Well I am OVER 35 and have seen both teams play.... The rules would dictate the outcome more than anything... If these Warriors played the BUlls in the 90's, it would be a massacre.. The Bulls would crush them with ease... NOW If they played today in their primes I would still give the edge to The Bulls... But the series would go at least 6 games... Sorry Fellas... MJ was just THAT GOOD....

do you not think the Warriors could adjust? Not in one series, like they played full seasons in the 96 rules.
Lets just assume the NBA never changed, do this warriors team just fold because teams can hand check?

In the 80's, the game was very fast-paced. Teams would go up and down without taking much time off the shot clock. Scoring was way up. Very little defense was played overall. It's known as the worst defensive era in the NBA.
In the 90's, the pace slowed down considerably. Teams worked the clock, and they had some good defenses, but a lot of the low scoring had to do with many teams playing a lot of isolation basketball.
People thought it was stale, so the league felt they had to make a change. So they changed the illegal defense rules.
Before 2001-02, players had to stick to one man. They could not sag off of him. They had to follow him around the court like a puppy dog. This meant a lot of 1-on-1 basketball. If a player got too far off of his man, illegal defense was called. This made for boring basketball, so the NBA decided to make "zone" defense legal in 2001-02. They eliminated the illegal defense rules because it would force teams to pass the ball and run the floor.
It worked. It sped up the game and made it more exciting for fans. And that's where we're at today. Exciting basketball where both offense and defense is valued.

Hand Check??? Are you serious??? Anytime A Warriors player went to the hoop he would get knocked on his arse and play would continue.... Pus Rodman would eat Gren for lunch by getting in his head so bad, it would def effect the way he plays... Phil would let Curry get his but would shut down the rest of the team.........

Scorers would much rather allow hand-checking but reinstate the illegal defense rules so they can get their defender on an island instead of having to peel through layers of defenders like they have to now.

All of those clips you see of the Bad Boy Pistons knocking people on their arse were fouls. And they were called.
People today seem to think back then players could knock you on your arse and the ref would swallow the whistle. That was never the case.
