No, I wouldn't expect Charles Oakley to be overmatched guarding a Draymond Green. You can frame the shyt however you want. Green is the quicker/faster guy but he's nowhere near as strong or imposing in the paint. Stop acting like Green is some go to offensive player.
You saying Oakley wouldn't be overmatched guarding him just shows you have no idea what you're talking about. The reason Green is on the floor is because he presents a matchup problem for almost every team in the league, he's strong enough to hold his own in the post, but can still stretch the floor and go off the dribble when run at. He pulls your PF from the rim because he's going to shoot the 3 when open, and can pass when you chase him off the line. They're basically playing an SF at PF, and unlike every team before them that tried to go small they're giving up almost nothing by playing him there.
You saying that the Grizz lost shows that the point obviously flew over your gotdamn head. What you need to stop doing is citing stars without putting them in context. The Grizz are a team that's built inside-out that doesn't feature the 3point shot similar to teams in the 90's and they proved that they could had a chance to beat the Warriors if not for injuries. That's the point.
It didn't fly over my head at all, you're using the Grizz as an example, yet they hit more threes than 90s teams, and even then that wasn't good enough. The thread is about taking a team from the 90s, and putting them against a team from today.
Bruh, who on GS besides Steph can consistently get their own shot?
More than the Knicks
Barbosa and Livingston would be the best creators on those Knick teams
You need to learn to read. I never said that those 90s Knicks teams would beat this GS team. They completely different teams who played in completely different eras/leagues. I'm just refuting some of the dumb shyt that you're saying. Jeff Green is garbage I don't even know why you're bringing him up. I like Conley, but I don't know what type of player he'd be in the 90s in league that isn't geared towards guards and play on the perimeter.
The Knicks would get WASHED by the Warriors, you're arguing like it would be some competitive series. I don't care if they played in different eras, if you put the two teams as constructed on the floor vs one another the Warriors would win. You keep harping on the rule changes, but the core of the game is still the same, and the Warriors are stomping people because the line is still at 23'9" when the Knicks won 60 games. You're not stopping Curry at all, and your whole point is idiotic, because there were players who took 3s in the 90s, but none of them could shoot like Curry (Tim Hardaway started taking 5 a game before the line moved). Matter of fact, those perimeter oriented Warriors teams in the 90s never had trouble scoring, they just couldn't defend one bit. The high pick and roll between Curry & Green isn't going to magically stop working because it's 1993, matter of fact Oakley would get absolutely destroyed when he has to switch or jump out on Curry.
Jeff Green is better than Charles Smith, and you don't know what type of player Conley would be in the 90s?
He'd be the same player he is today, your point about the rules is just dumb to be honest and is always the easy out for people who struggle with what they're seeing.
Again, you say shyt like this as if you're unaware that the league/game is completely different now than it was then. plis you're cherry picking. What would this Warriors or Cavs teams do with the 90's Bulls? What would they do with Dream's Rockets?
This Warriors team matches up extremely well with that Bulls team, we just saw LeBron go for 44, his PG get 23, they hit 9 threes, and still lost because the Warriors are perfectly happy and content to guard everyone and let LeBron go 1 on 1 with their defense. I already said the 94-95 Rockets are similar to teams today, but it's hard to know what they'd shoot from 3 because of the fact their best year was with the short 3 line
The next season vs the Magic with Horry starting, the Rockets made 37 threes in 4 games. The floor was spread wide open, and Hakeem had the paint all to himself in 94-95.
Duncan that year had to play 43mpg in the playoffs just for them to squeak out wins, their offense was miserable.
Klay averages 22/game and they have an all star Lee and an Olympian AI coming off the bench. Barnes can get his own shot too but Steph is just so good at creating and expanding defenses.The 90's Knicks are a worse version of the fukking Pacers. Offense was absolutely horrendous.
. But in reality they were a solid playoff team with good fortune mixed in.
