Last years Warriors or this years Warriors, I chuckle every time I see someone here post that this is the GOAT team. Talent wise? Eh maybe, but they play a gimmick offense that until three years ago was seen as one that couldn't win it all in this league. Well it still can't... unless of course the roster consists of three of the greatest shooters that ever lived and here we are. Good perimeter defenders and take away their second shots and see how well this jump shooting offense works.
Problem is everyone else is going small trying to copy their model and it only makes it that much easier on them. People will disagree i'm sure, but I think the 96 Bulls would absolutely suffocate this team and turn them into Durant iso's and at that point it's over. Curry wouldn't breathe with Jordan on him and I like Harper just fine on Klay. Can't think of many defenders better i'd want on Durant than Pippen and it would be hilarious to see how badly Rodman gets into Draymond's head. They certainly wouldn't be getting the second shots they're used to after those highly contested threes.
The Bulls would be smart enough to know they cannot outgun the Warriors, but I doubt it would take more than five, six games to beat their jump shooting offense with defense and proper game planning. You do not run with this team. Limit possessions, defend and make it ugly and they're certainly beatable.
