Ron Harper: 1997 Bulls Would Sweep the Warriors

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Umm having a 6-7 PF with the ability to slide into the center position is playing small ball. To close out games many times Rodman played center.

A line up with

Ron Harper@ PG

MJ@ SG

Pip@ SF

Kukoc@ PF

Rodman@ C




I don't think the Warriors are fukking with that

No different than Lebron and his d league squad taking the Warriors to 6 in the finals.

I agree with Harper. Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes would get exposed something serious in this series

The Cavs hit 18 threes in those two games to offset the Warriors 21, you don't beat the Warriors by trading 2s for their threes, the Cavs were in that series because they could also hit the three.

Every game the Warriors lost in the playoffs last year it was because the other team could hit enough threes to stay close, the Rockets beat them in game 4 and it took hitting 17 threes to do it

Where's the shooting?


The Warriors don't have to guard 2 of the 5 players in that lineup.

MJ and pip wouldn't let Curry go off.

Klay would get overwhelmed by the moment.

Draymond's offensive game is tacky.You can live with him shooting 3's.

This is one team that I think would stifle the Warriors perimeter game.

All the bulls would have to deal with is curry. The other splash brother and Barnes gonna be too busy getting turned out on defense, Rodman would have Green getting thrown out of games for technicals, and the bulls had the better trump card in Jordan.

I stand by the Bulls sweep

Warriors threes and bench

in 1996 from 3
Jordan shot 43%
Pippen shot 37%
Kukoc shot 40%
Harper shot 27%
Kerr shot 51%
Buelcher shot 44%

Kerr would be coaching though so you gotta take him out

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

would The Bulls play in 2015? Or would these Warriors play in 1997

Other than saying they wouldn't let him go off, how would they accomplish it? Considering they've never seen anyone like him in their lives, how do they go about it, especially from 96-98 when they were older.

Draymond's offensive game is opportunistic and his entire purpose is to draw your big man out of the lane and force your defense to make decisions when he rolls to the rim.


Ya'll always make it sound like defenses will be everywhere at once and taking away everything, if Pippen and Jordan are focused on Curry that means someone else will be open, which is the entire point of the Warriors offense.

You just going to leave out that they shot those percentages with a shorter three point line?

They made a grand total of 544 that season, that would have put them at 24th in the league last year behind the sharpshooting Bucks.

but wasn't the 3 point line moved up that year?

But that Bulls team was exceptional.

No way was the most competitive player to ever step on a basketball court going to let Curry rain 3's.I have no doubt's that Jordan would've found an extra gear and shut Curry down.Maybe not totally, but he'd have him looking ordinary out there.

And Pip and Rodman were just to versatile on D.Like one poster already said, we're talking about maybe 3 of the top 5 defensive players in the history of the sport here....on one team.

I'm just not doubting MJ.No way, man.

If he had to hit 6 3's a game, knowing MJ, he would've done it.

 

[sfgiants]

Stuttering Stanley shook cuz the Warriors lookin like they can threaten that record early on
I think the Bulls win, but sweep? GTFO
Couldn't sweep the Jazz but you're gona sweep the Warriors
