2016 GSW - Greatest NBA 2nd place team ever?

[SJ76]

Gets blown out in the playoffs 6-7 times?
Loses the Finals after up 3-1?

I'm not even going to put the actual best teams ever in the same conversation as these guys, but I will throw some teams that won a ring and some dam good teams who also didn't win a ring in the mix.

Can vote twice

Warriors not beating anyone ever.

/Thread.

I see the GSW bandwagon fans have not arrived yet.

You forgot the 2016 Cavs

Shane.... You all already beat them remember? We don't need a hypothetical for that match-up.

Cleveland must be hung over after last night's parties with bongs and rufees.

2016 Cavs would have beat the Bulls in a 7 game series.

Malone and Stockton could be the 2016 Cavs in 6.

LOL the Jazz would have had no chance against the Cavs. Cleveland wins in 4.

Right now I have the Golden St Warriors as the NBA equivalent of the Greatest Show on Turf. They'd be pretty high up on the 2nd place list.

That said, if they get Durant than last year might just end up being part of a larger story.

Showtime Lakers would have beat the 96 Bulls team too.

I think Greg Ostertag would have had trouble slowing down Kyrie in the pick & roll. Malone could have been a good 5 in today's NBA -- but that would have changed the makeup of the Jazz rotation.

Kind of like JVG or someone said -- which rules would you be playing by ?

2011 Heat were unstoppable before #LeChoke and Dirk's magic happened.
I think they could give GSW a challenge

'86 Celtics and the 2014 Spurs would've beaten the Bulls. Also the 2001 Lakers team that only lost 1 playoff game would've beaten the Bulls as well.

People laugh, but I'd give the 2016 Cavs team an excellent chance. Athletes have gotten better in all sports, basketball included, of course. I think LeBron would find a way to exploit weak links on the Bulls defense and the Cavs shoot the 3-ball better.

I don't, basketball players today are faster stronger and better in almost every way. 2016 cavs won without HCA, pretty impressive stuff against a historic team

That was a good laugh.

1996 Bulls had 3 all NBA 1st team defenders. Only team to do it. You do know that there's only five guys on the floor for one team right?

Go ahead put Rodman on Love, it will take him out of the paint so Lebron and Kyrie can drive, then kick it out to a shooter. Anyways, would the Bulls play a small lineup and put MJ at the 3 or play their center, like Warriors did at times with Bogut?
