Serious question...Who is the bigger Oaf?

Arty, who plays the dumb guy for attention, or Deez who really is a dumb guy?...

[vcsgrizzfan]

Durant is god, crown him now. Nobody could guard him with any set of rules.

You really should leave Deez. You'll thank me later if you ever reread this thread.

I won’t thank you considering how many people agree with me on this. You can claim you are right all you want. It’s your opinion.

I presented facts on the matchups and why it's disadvantageous to the Bulls on both ends of the floor. You know I'm right because you refuse to address it. So yes, you should leave. You're welcome.

My regular and.NBA IQ are vastly superior to yours...time to accept reality dumbfuck

Yea we noticed.

1995 magic had the best offense of all time at a 115.5 rating

Warriors have passed that mark twice the last 4 years.

Keep deflecting with nonsense

Pretty much no one in NBA history is going to meaningfully stop Durant in single coverage.

Yes, that's pretty much correct.

I basically stopped picking on Deez for the last few years. There's just no sport in it. I've regressed some today and yesterday, but I'll try to avoid it in the future.

Arty is such an asshole that I don't mind yanking him by the chain a little, but it does get boring after a while too.

Yes, that's pretty much correct.

Maybe Pippen could check him. Maybe Bowen could give him trouble. And maybe maybe Coop could disrupt him a bit.

[elartman1973]

Durant would get injured vs the bulls so who cares who would guard his weak ads?

There has never really been any sport in polarizing either...I hit Arty from time to time, but not like everyone else, because he enjoys it for some reason...He is the dude that would pay a prostitute to stomp on his nuts...

Deez on the other hand wants so badly to believe that he has even the merest inkling of intelligence, and exposing him for the buffoon he is has always been fun for me, probably too fun...

What do I know, but I do think the 92 Bulls team was a better team.

I think it would be a better matchup against the modern day Warriors than the 1996 version for sure. Fewer guys to hide defensively and Grant could give you a lot more offensively than Rodman while still defending really well. The Centers are less of a collection of big oafs.

No but slow him down some, yes. Gotta remember Jordan more than offsets Durant on both ends of the floor. Pippen will do well, Rodman stops green. Harper and Jordan contain Thompson and Curry, as in it will be tough for them. We act like the bulls are gonna play them on D and just let them fire threes.

Jordan *actually* shot less than 42 percent (true shooting percentage 54 percent) in the 1996 NBA Finals.

Durant *actually* shot 70 percent true shooting percentage in the 2017 Finals.

Durant is the player I’d create for myself on a video game. Bowen is only gonna “trouble” him if he gets away with his usual dirty tactics.

The only material advantage is MJ over Klay. Every other matchup favors the Warriors, including a bench that can actually play meaningful minutes without getting exposed. The Bulls have two guys you have to pay attention to offensively, not counting Kukoc off the bench - sort of, who is inferior to Iggy.

And the thing that you just can't seem to grasp is the huge disparity in the number of 3s each team is capable of making. The Bulls were simply not designed to defend 30 feet from the bucket. They had 2 guys who could do it really well in Pippen and MJ, one guy who could do in reasonably well in Harper and an aging Rodman who could do it in little spurts. That isn't going to cut it. They were built to succeed against teams far different from the modern Warriors.

Jordan, Rodman, Pippen as a big 3 best the Warriors big three. Rodman > Green in that matchup. Green would get tossed 10 mins in. Rodman on D is better and a far superior rebounder. Green can shoot better, he has that.

Why did Rodman let Kemp go off for 23 and 10 on 55 percent shooting (or thereabouts) in the 1996 Finals if he had this magical ability to just neutralize players with his mind whenever he felt like it?

[rileymartin]

Larry Bird used to buttfuck Rodman up and down the court with ease...

Stop it! Rodman isn't better than Green in the modern game. His one dimensional game worked in the 90s and especially with the Bulls who didn't need much from him offensively, but Green has versatility that Rodman doesn't have. And why did you pick 3 and why did you pick Green over Klay for the 3rd?

Make it 4 guys on the Warriors in Steph, Klay, Durant and Green. All can handle the ball and put it on the deck. All can hit the 3. All can pass really well. All can defend (don't give me bullshit that KD can't defend). It's not a fair fight Deez.

You're almost like Artie ITT. You're emotionally attached to a team and won't see reality for what it is. Whether Orlando suffers in this recession or not has nothing to do with Artie as a person, but he acts like it does. Whether the Bulls could compete with the Warriors has nothing to do with you as a person, but you have made it that way. Take a deep breath Deez. It's not that important.

You act as if the bulls wouldn't have adapted to the times and shoot and practice shooting more threes And built the roster accordingly...and that Phil wouldn't adjust the defense or offense at all...what kind of ignorance do you possess?

Why did, why did, why did.... Why did the Warriors let a shot Cavs team beat them? You honestly gonna argue for Green over Rodman?
