Who wins a 7 game series?

Demarcus Cousins is completely healthy and plays like he did before his injury.
The series would be played with 1996 rules.
So you have prime Harper, Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and others.
Warriors are not all in their primes.

Wow I am surprised the Bulls are winning this poll. I voted for the Bulls. I am kind've unsure about it though. I think people are understimating what Couins can bring to the team. He would wreak havoc in the post. Cousins is extremely skilled.

With 96 rules, you wouldn't be able to force the ball out of Stephs hands by double teaming him. Warriors in 5

Prime Harper, Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman together though is very scary.

The 2011 Bulls would beat the 2019 Warriors, the 1996 team would destroy them. They have defenders to lock up every position on the Warriors. Hell Warriors were down 3-2 to the Rockets in 2018.

If you are not going to stop with this subtle baiting/trolling you will be given warnings and bans. This type of posting does nothing except for create more work for the mod team and derail good conversations/threads. Consider yourself warned.

Primes would be something like 1992 Harper, 1990 Jordan, 1992 Pippen, and 1994 Rodman. I think the power forward version of Rodman instead of his small forward version would be better for this team.

Are you kidding me? You trying to say that I say that a team that won 62 games in 2011 can't beat a team that hasn't even played a game in 2019 nor that we even know will actually win the championship is considered trolling?

That is the point of the post, the 2019 Warriors haven't done anything nor won anything.

Trolling would be saying something like the 2011 Bulls beating the 2019 Warriors by 50+ points a game. But I said nothing of such.

No, I am not kidding you. Given your colorful history on this board and your own admission in the past that you mostly post to get a reaction out of others, saying that the 2011 Bulls would beat the 2019 Warriors with a healthy Cousions as the OP stipulates is absolutely trolling. You really have no leg to stand on given your well-known shtick at this point.

I would like to ask, are you kidding me by really saying that the 2011 Bulls would beat the Warriors? Because that is some epic level of under the radar posting meant to elicit reactions (which is why you post mostly) and then we are left to deal with the fallout of these outrageous posts which have no basis in reality.

The guy hasn't played a game yet and you have no idea if the guy would even fit in with them. Not to mention he has only put up good numbers on bad teams. It is like adding a prime Elton Brand to a team like the 2008 Celtics. Sure he could help but not like he is getting those numbers with them or if he will disrupt the team. Cousins is a dude who constantly gets technicals.

While I agree that the 2011 Bulls beating the 2019 Warriors is ludicrous, saying you’ll warn someone for just posting that is absurd.

I agree, it came across as satire to me. Though I do understand what PaulieWal is saying.

Backseat modding usually earns a warning, if you have questions about modding PM that mod or any mod on the team.

The problem is that such "satire" derails threads and doesn't add anything.

Yeah tough call because he could be baiting others and derailing the thread. I don't know if he thinks it is true. If he thinks it is true though you can't warn him because you are warning people based on knowledge or is that ethical in some cases? Tough call. Even if it is satire that is a form of expression. Aesthetically pleasing satire though has to be elogant in its linguistics. So I think there is a difference between good satire and obvious trolling to agitate others. Like I said tough call.

If someone came on the board and said Klay Thompson is better than Jordan and they believe it do you warn them or educate them? You educate them. Can it derail a thread? Yeah it definitely can. Could warning force them to educate themselves? Yeah. So the topic is a tough ethical issue.

It is a hell of a lot more realistic that the 2011 Bulls would beat the 2019 Warriors fully healthy than the 2019 Warriors beat the 1996 Bulls (all prime at that) in 5 games.

I voted warriors here, but I'm unsure of how 96 rules prevent the Bulls form double teaming steph and forcing the ball out of his hands? It's probably more of an issue of the rest of the team killing you when you double him. Not related to the rules.

Cavaliers Version of Ron Harper was a super athlete. Prime James Edwards is a very good low post scorer. Prime John Salley is a very good player.

76er Iguodala was more athletic. Peak 2015-2016 Regular season Curry was amazing but the OP said prime not peak.

The Warriors 3 point shooting and team passing is such a weapon. I think I take the Wartiors shooting and passing over the Bulls athleticism.

Oh I forgot about them. The Warriors would not be prime but rather their 2019 versions. I think Edwards and Salley puts them over the top.
