Warriors are being overrated, Cavs just are playing with 2 and a half man and a bunch of bums.

Bulls would push their shit in, especially playing real 90s ball not the puss fest of today.

Jordan is the best player ever, but I don't trust Scottie Pippen's erratic jumper and Toni Kukoc's inconsistent play to be able to counter the Warriors. You get basically zero offence from Rodman. 

There's nothing wrong with saying the Warriors might be better.

The Western Conference All-Stars are better than the Bulls ... obviously you can say well that's an unfair comparison, but the Warriors are basically like an All-Star team upfront. 

It's just probably a "once every 30 years" mix of talent due to the stars alligning a certain way. If "super teaming" was a thing in the 90s, maybe you'd have seen Barkley or Ewing jump ship to join Chicago, and that team would've been better than any of the 6 Bulls championship teams. There's no ineherint rule against a stacked team. 

Well but Rodman pretty much shut down Malone the first time they met in the finals and still neutralized him enough the second time around for the Bulls to  win in six. No one on the Warriors front court has the same physical presence as Malone.  Also basketball is a team sport so you can't really make the argument that Jordan is the best player ever.  He is clearly the best shooting guard of all time everyone else who played the same postion is a distant second.

Nah, I can make the arguement pretty clearly that Jordan is the best ever. He has 6 titles as the main option of a team on top of having the highest scoring average in the history of the game. No one else really even has 4. He's basically the Wayne Gretzky of basketball (top scorer + many championships).

People are underestimating how good Pippen really was the 1993-94 Bulls still won 55 regular season games that is only two less games then the previous season when they had Jordan.  During Jordans absence he averaged a solid 22 points per game.  During the second half of his career he was slowed down by various injuries which first started in his final year with the Bullls.

Too bad for you :

Too bad for you again I like Russell Westbrook and I hope he will be the season MVP.

Are you mad ?

Nope, your comments on the other hands come across as silly and anyone can see that you are a huge Warriors homer.  

Yes you are mad.

Meanwhile at my house.

HA HA HA HA :

Warriors/Thunder/Pistons for Life

No offense, but if you're gonna keep being so immature, then stop throwing petty insults. That's literally all you've done in this thread.

 

This thread is for reasonable discussions surrounding the current NBA finals and anything relevant to it.

Well Jordan barely edges out Chamberlain when it comes to highest scoring average but that is only due to the fact that Chamberlain had numerous injuries that slowed him down significantly towards the end of his career despite that he still has the most career rebounds and the highest rebond average.

Congrats you keep on proofing that you are a huge Warriors homer I guess you want a cookie for that.

Sorry but I'm so happy with this season : Warriors breaking records again, Kevin Durant ready to be MVP of the finals and Russell Westbrook I hope will be the MVP of the regular season. James Harden could have it tho.



Best season ever.

Nope since the Thunder vs Rockets was the only decent playoff series this has actually been one of the worst seasons ever.

Here's something I want to present to the chat as a post-POST analysis from last night's game. I personally think the problem when it came down to crunch time was Kyrie Irving. While Kyrie is AMAZING at what he does, I find the things he does to sort of be counter-productive to the Cavs game. Instead of deciding to do the smart thing and going for a 2-for-1 situation, he played ISO against Thompson, something that Klay wants, and as a result, they lost. I like Kyrie, but his drive game is all he really has going for him. His D is pathetic, and his shooting is just average. Kyrie needs to learn to play circumstantial and not go braindead in the last 30 seconds.
