To be safe, Dubs in 6... Probably 5.

It wouldn't even be close. The Warriors depth and offensive firepower would overwhelm the Bulls. They never faced a team anywhere near as loaded as Golden State in the finals.

if the 90's rules were in play a whole lot of that fire power would be void....Draymond gettin ejected after Rodman picks on him for a few mins......Klay got a job on his hands....Steph gone be tired and aggravated

it aint shit you can do about a 7 foot shooter in either scenario lol

How so? Even with Scottie doin' his thing as the greatest perimeter guard and MJ not too far behind, there is only so much Pip could do against Durant, and MJ could probably lockdown Klay without too much problem, but Harper wouldn't keep up against Curry. Plus there is no evidence of any of them stoppin' the long 3, especially during the two years the 3 point was moved UP to only 22 ft.

As for Rodman getting to Draymond... perhaps. But would Draymond get ejected though? Since cats LOVE to talk about how PHYSICAL the game was in the 90s (a myth propagated by YouTube compilations and ESPN), who's to say Draymond doesn't get to Rodman as well?

Also, Rodman made his bread and butter as an INTERIOR defender. Draymond would force him out of the paint with his 3 ball and off ball movement. Rodman would be much more challenged than usual having to follow Draymond everywhere on the court, especially with the ILLEGAL DEFENSE rule back in play.

What it would really come down to in a 90s era Finals is 3 things:

1) How many 3s could the Bulls defense limit WHILE ALSO having to guard the Dubs MAN TO MAN with NO OFF BALL DOUBLE TEAMS.

2) How the Bulls bench would be able to do ANYTHING effective against the Warriors bench.

3) How many free-throws would the officials give Jordan to keep the gap close enough for the Bulls to have a chance in the 4th quarter of games.

I swear cats haven't really thought this thing through...

It definitely wouldn't be as smooth. But I think a lot of cats on here really don't understand the difference in shooting ability or the DEPTH of the Warriors roster vs the Bulls. Outside of Kukoc and sometimes Kerr, the Bulls would pretty much have to leave their starting 5 on the floor for almost the entire series to have a chance.
 
Magic

Jordan

Bird

Barkely

Robinson

Bench:

Stockon

Mullin

Pippen

Malone

Ewing

And yall saying maybe they can get a win...

Wow
