June 6, 20179 yr Interesting read and rankings on the 10 teams in NBA history that might have had the horses to defeat the Warriors this season. Ranking the top 1
June 6, 20179 yr Don't agree with 9 or 10...Kobe/Shaq Lakers would have been interesting, agree with the rest.
June 6, 20179 yr The mid-2000 Phoenix Suns would not have a shot, but I would like to see if Golden State could have dropped 180-200 on them.
June 6, 20179 yr Can't believe none of you have come up with the obvious answer. LaVar, Lonzo, LiAngelo, & LaMelo could take them 4 against 5. Probably win the series in only three games.
June 6, 20179 yr The Pistons would have made it a street fight. That would be must see TV. With the rules from back then, Piston would have broken them in half. Dramond would have had Lambeer so far in his head he would have probably kicked him in the 1st quarter of the 1st game and gotten tossed. Rodman guarding KD would have been fun to watch also.
June 6, 20179 yr The Pistons would have made it a street fight. That would be must see TV. Yeah, real basketball, back when the players weren't all friends?
June 7, 20179 yr Yeah, real basketball, back when the players weren't all friends? [ATTACH]62158[/ATTACH] More like the kiss from The Godfather
June 7, 20179 yr I don't think any of the teams from the past could beat them. I'm in agreement. The 96 Bulls are the only team that would have a shot IMO.
June 7, 20179 yr Author I don't think any of the teams from the past could beat them. You could be right but I felt a couple of those listed would be interesting matchups. Bulls in Jordan's final run were athletic and had a great blend of offensive/defensive firepower. The Lakers would have been interesting. Byron Scott might have been a good matchup with Curry. Kareem/Mychael Thompson would be a challenge for Golden State even in their advanced years. Worthy vs Durant would maybe lean Durant but it would be a great matchup. Don't forget Michael Cooper in that mix with AC Green and Kurt Rambis on the boards. Philly in '83 captured a great combo in that one year. Dr. J still had his moves. Who would stop Moses Malone? Toney and the guards would be quick enough to keep up but Bobby Jones vs Durant is all day Durant. Pistons are the best defensive matchup. Zeke vs Curry. Dumas vs other guards. Laimbeer, Rodman, Aguire, Salley, Edwards vs. GC front court. I'd pay to see that.
