The biggest winners tonight... The 96 Chicago Bulls

SteveKerrsJunk · 06-19-16, 11:42 PM

Haha, glad somebody said it. They had to be relieved, I'm a huge Bulls guy, but they still got the reg season record, counts for something I suppose.

When the Warriors went down 3-1 to OKC that comparison was done in my mind.

I watched every GS game this year and the great majority was fueled with help by the BS refs. I've never seen one team get away with so much bullshit from illegal picks, reaching in on every play, pushing, grabbing, holding and just overall dirty play. Cleveland finally pushed back on these bitches and they couldn't take it. I'm so glad these fake ass Whorerriors and their bandwagon fans go home losers.

it was funny watching the ex-Cav flop in game 7 and not get the call... to see Iggy caught holding T Thompson's arm so he can't get the reb with 2 hands... to see his expression like what??? foul on me??? me???? what did i do??? then the replay is shown.

I'm so glad Varejao didn't get the calls. Van Gundy has been crying about that all series long. I knew the Warriors were pretenders, but they just kept proving me wrong and pissing me off all year just winning everything.

Now we can all see that the Bulls team was better. GSW relied on the jumpshot so much. I will say though that they weren't allowed freedom of movement when cutting to attempt to get open looks. So, if people wanna say that they got away with whatever during the season, I would hope they could acknowledge that cutters were held, and bumped consistently with no calls. I think this wore down the shooters, made open looks hard to get, and why they shot so poorly. Is what it is, I don't think the Bulls were that much better but they had more threats down low. Bogut going out was bigger than people think too. Congrats to Cleveland, and the Bulls regardless.

I would have love to see that bulls team play magic 85 Lakers team with Kareem and Worthy.So many people talk about Jordan s Bulls but need to look at the level of play at that time .Jordan s bulls really didn't play anybody I mean look at it Magic Lakers had to play Bird and his Celtics, Dr J and Moses Malone 76ers,Bad boys from Detroit. ..seriously who did Jordans bulls play?utah ?phoenix?

9 playoff losses to go with the 9 regular season losses

LT Profits · 06-20-16, 09:07 AM

So the Warriors now join the New England Patriots and Seattle Mariners.

LT Profits · 06-20-16, 09:09 AM

Actually they also join the Detroit Red Wings in terms of teams that have the all-time WIN records in their sport but failed to win the championship that year. If you go by points though, Montreal did win the Stanley Cup the year they set the points record.

and people forget the Bulls could have won more. They never said they "we are going for it" like Kerr eventually admitted. Granted they wanted the narrative for future seasons to just be about winning. Now, the whole season's narrative will be revenge and last seasons collapse. They went all-in on best season ever and blew it.

It would have been nice for him to finish the season.

nyplayer33 · 06-20-16, 09:39 AM

Pointless thread...not going with a team that had bad centers as greatest.

Thats what you get with him though. Good piece to the roster but its maybe only a 60% chance he finishes the year.

100% correct. Comparing the 96 bulls to any great team is a joke. People forget that Jordan lost to the Celtics, Lakers, 76ers, and Pistons until they all retired. The Bulls never came close until the great teams were done. Then they had to get by a horrendous Knick team in the East. My high school team would have had an easier time beating that Knick team. The NBA has been pathetic since the Pistons retired.

lakerboy · 06-20-16, 12:41 PM

Wait a minute. The warriors beat the bulls reg season record. Then the cavs beat the warriors. Cavs best team ever. James is king.

Jordan's Bulls destroyed the Bad Boy Pistons 4-0 then Magic's Lakers 4-1, both in 1991. They also beat the Stockton/Malone Jazz twice.

frostno98 · 06-20-16, 05:55 PM

The 72-10 Bulls was on of the best team ever assembled. Dennis Rodman would of ate the paint alive against GSW, considering what Love and Thompson managed to do to them. MJ and Pippen would of both gave the splash brother fits.

Wasn't talking about Valid divac Lakers as I stated 85 -87 Lakers with Kareem, magic ,worthy but what you state is my point those Bulls played nobody the bad boys was already pass there prime bird Celtics done and that was magics last year.Jordan had nobody to compete against. BARKLEY, MAILMAN,STOCKTON, all retirees no rings and if everyone recalls Magics Lakers use to trash Utah and phoenix.I really don't think those Bulls as well as this year's Golden state team were the best....I think Birds Celtics teams and Dr J and Moses Malone 76ers and Magic Kareem worthy Lakers were better.

Thanks for proving us right. The Pistons and Lakers were in adult diapers when that happened. Funny how you never mention any of the series with the Pistons in their prime. Same for Celtics and 76ers as well.

Mac4Lyfe · 06-20-16, 08:17 PM

^^^ Are you kidding me? The East was stacked back then and the entire NBA was a grind. Not compared to this watered down NBA of today. Who the hell did GS have to beat? A horrible Houston team, a Portland team that lost 4 starters from a year before. An OKC team that is dysfunctional. Then they finally lose to a Cav's team that basically relied on iso basketball. The NBA was 10x more competitive than what it is today.

maggiethebestdog · 06-20-16, 08:17 PM

Rodman was part of some great Piston teams. However, he wasn't great and got schooled by the Celtics. He also got thrown around by Larry Bird, who treated him like the joke he is.

If you are talking to me, you must be misreading my posts. I have stated for years that the NBA ended when the Pistons retired. It has been a joke ever since.

Thomas, 30
Rodman, 30
Dumars, 28
Salley, 27
Aguirre, 31
Laimbeer, 34

Magic, 31
Worthy, 30
Scott, 30
Perkins, 30
Green, 27

Those are hardly old men; Jordan was 28 when he won his first title and was still a dominant player at 35 when he retired.

Once again you putting up good teams but not great like

MAGIC,SCOTT,KAREEM,WORTHY,RAMBIS AND BENCH WAS GOOD TOO

BIRD,MCHALE,PARISH,DJ,DANNY ALSO BENCH WAS GOOD

DR J,MOSES MALONE,CHEEKS,ANDREW TONY,NOT SURE THE 5TH GUY BUT THIS TEAM WAS LOADED ALSO

The Bulls never and I mean never played anybody that had these type of players on there teams and
That's all I'm saying alot of peeps weather it's younger people that don't know says the Bulls had the greatest team of all time but as I keep saying they played a bunch of nobody's it's was Jordan and nobody else while Magic had Bird ,Dr j,also can't even forget Houston Dream,spurs iceman and as I said who did Jordans bull beat pheonix Utah ok old bad boys but if I'm not mistaken Magics Lakers beat young bad boys .

BigDofBA · 06-20-16, 10:24 PM

If it really took last night for you guys to make up your minds of the Warriors were as good as the Bulls you must have not watched must basketball.

Even if they won it wouldn't have mattered.

The Warriors lost 9 times in the playoffs and got blown out four times times against OKC and the Cavs. I'm talking serious beat downs.

The Warriors went 7-7 when the finally played good teams (OKC and Cleveland).

So when the Warriros are about even with two other teams in the league, how can you say they're close to the '96 Bulls?

THe Warriors would have definitely struggled against the defense of Rodman, Pippen, and Jordan.
