That's why people have opinions.

For you to think that the '01 Lakers cannot match up with length is mind boggling. Kobe, Shaq, Horry, Grant, Fox alone is about as imposing length-wise in the history of playoff teams. Not to mention all the teams they defeated in the playoffs en route to a 15-1 record all had length.

KD would get eaten alive by Laimbeer, Mahorn, Rodman, Salley each and every time he'd touch the ball or try to maneuver from 17 feet in. He'd be stuck shooting threes all day and even then, Rodman would make him earn every shot attempt.

It would be bad news for Steph as well. You think Steph would get all those shots with JOE DUMARS and Isiah Thomas in his grill for 48 minutes? LOL.. And what would Curry do defensively against ultra quick Thomas? Dumars was the toughest defender Jordan ever faced. You seem to forget that.
I don't think you get it so lemme dismantle this one by one. This is just my opinion.

Joe Dumars and Zeke aren't the issue. Steph don't play 1v1 and neither do the warriors. Do you think Laimbeer, Mahorn Rodman, Salley, etc. can play out in space in a PnR once the warriors command a switch because they're going to PnR them to death? Probably not.

Defensively, you're using bias. Laimbeer, Mahorn, Rodman, etc. aren't stopping KD in open space off of PnR and converely, they aren't scoring on the warriors either. Dumars and Zeke would be too small for the warriors and they would be a mess on that end.

And as far as the 01 lakers, if you really think Grant, Fox, Horry, and Shaq can match up with these warriors more power to you. The 02 Lakers for reference struggled with the 02 kings and the Warriors are like the 02 kings on steroids soooo...yeah.
 
Telling y'all, we coming back. I'll let the Spurs slander rock.
ok how bout now?

Every time I haven't heard Miller broadcast in a while I think the hatred is too much. Then I hear his commentary and think, Nope, hate on.
 
It's games like this why the ratings for the NBA are declining. I have yet to see any competive games this post season.

Just a few years ago, every series was exhilarating too..NBA was back! The star power in the NBA is something else, for sure and it's the only reason to tune in. Don't get me wrong, I'm all in for this Trilogy, but the playoffs this season is lackluster as ****.

He is one of the few players who is actually more annoying after his career than during his career... I didn't think it was possible because he was annoying AF when he was playing.
 
 
Nah I'm being serious; 2018 this whole thing is coming apart and the roster will look completely different.

This crowd is funny, why are they still cheering
Really why? This the first time i've heard of this.
