The
other week, a columnist in the Tribune said Stephen Curry and the Golden State
Warriors were little more than the flavor of the week. If they beat the Cavaliers, that will mean
back-to-back championships, which will leave a strong flavor in some mouths.
When
the Warriors won 73 games in the regular season, they broke the record set by
the Bulls in 1995-96. That led to
questions about which team is better.
Would Curry and fellow guard Klay Thompson beat Michael Jordan and
Scottie Pippen, or vice versa? I tend to
go with the hometown team, but not out of loyalty. It’s just that the Bulls with Dennis Rodman
would literally hack the opposition into pieces.
Curry
and Thompson hit a record of 62 three-pointers in the seven-game win over
Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals.
That means touch, finesse. Rodman
and company would simply bang away until Curry and Thompson couldn’t feel a
thing. Of course, if the refs actually
called fouls (this is all hypothetical, anyhow), then it might be
different. Rodman would be gone by the
end of the first quarter while Jordan and Pippen would be playing with three
fouls apiece. I’d go with Golden State
in that case. Time machine, anyone?
