Take the best teams during the years the Bulls was winning championships and match them up vs the best teams of today era and see how they match up...
Shit take all the teams that the Bulls beat in the Finals and match them up vs the Thunder and tell me which era had more talent all around..

OKC wasn't the team that Sonics team the Bulls played was

Nobody on the Sonics is as good as Durant but overall the Sonics were better IMO

Besides the Heat....how many teams in the NBA are you currently impressed with? And I mean a team that you look at and say to yourself.."Damn! As a TEAM, these mofo ball hard every night. They can really give Miami a run for their money and possible win a title"


My Bulls ball hard every night...mainly on defense....but we aint got the pieces to beat the Heat..even with D Rose on the court. Spurs, Pacers, Memphis, Denver..these are teams that have been great during the regular season over the last 2-3 years...but then what?

Boston shouldnt even be part of the conversation anymore. Heat finished them off 2 years ago.
Knicks are a fucking joke..Lakers too. OKC aint ready. Got rid of Harden and Westbrook is like a whining/selfish broad.

So what team can you name?

Heat got it easy.

Not your bitch ass Bulls with or without Rose.. scram faggit
 
You sure? Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka and Harden >>>> the top four Sonic players by far..

You like to compare actual players I like to compare teams

As we see with the Lakers this season and the Spurs for example it's not always having the name talent as it is actually functioning well as a team

Sonics were a better team and again that is just my opinion

The Thunder, OkC, the Clippers, and Spurs are better than the then Jazz, Denver back then, the Rockets were good, but never that good when the Bulls was winning, Detroit had fallen off, so did the Lakers and Celtics, tell me one Bulls opponent during the finals this current Heat team wouldn't dust off with ease..

Last years Spurs team was much better than that Sonic team and OKC dusted them off..
 
As far as that Jazz team that gave the Bulls problems, they would have been lucky to win one game vs this Heat team...
 
U gonna answer my question? which team in the league TODAY really impresses you?

The Heat = LBJ. Without LBJ the Heat wouldnt even be the topic of any NBA discussion right about now.

So...the real question is who did the Bulls battle in the Finals that had a player that could battle with LBJ? Size wise...Barkley and Malone couldve banged with him in the paint. Elbows/flagrant fouls and all. That couldve forced LBJ to shoot more jumpers. But LBJ is fast. So MAYBE he still wouldvel had an edge.

So now i gotta lean more on basketball IQ...and if you look at the basketball iq's of the teams back then...theres really no comparison to most of the teams today. LBJ wouldve been able to do his thang..but the rest of the team is vulnerable. That alone wouldve put them at a disadvantage if they went up against the teams from the 80's and 90's.

The teams from the MJ and Magic eras had to figure shit out. MJ had to figure out how to get past the Pistons.....Magic had to figure out how to get past Bird...etc etc. Who has the Heat had to figure out beside the aging Celtics?

Who has LBJ been tested by since he's been in the NBA?

Im not trying to say LBJ is shit player..but I am saying he aint all that. Mainly because he hasnt been in a real battle, hence I have nothing to go off of to label him a great player.

I call D Rose a great player because Ive seen him go up against people that are better, bigger and stronger than him..yet he still balled hard and put up good numbers. But LBJ...:smh:


ok im done now...Ive spent too much time in this thread. Vape time!!!!


BULLS!!!!!!!!!!!

I was very specific, and did not mention the Magic Laker era, that's another argument, I was comparing this current Heat team vs the Jordan era, where I feel they would have ran through the league in similar fashion as those Bulls teams..
Remember I was a big Bulls fan back then, probably more of a Bulls fan than a current Heat fan, but being 100% non biased, this Heat team reminds me so much of the Bulls team that its almost eerie at times..
 
Heat-Celtics Preview
Exactly five years to the day when the Boston Celtics stopped the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, they can make sure the Miami Heat don't take it all for themselves.

The Heat would have to do it by becoming the first visiting team in nearly two months to win in Boston - the only Eastern Conference city where they have no regular-season victories during the LeBron James era.

All of those facts provide even more intrigue to a game which would be extremely significant regardless of the opponent or location because Miami is seeking a 23rd consecutive victory Monday night.

"If there's any group that would be motivated in a circumstance like this, it's that team in green," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "I don't know if the streak will be a big factor but they love playing against us, and vice versa."

Spoelstra's squad now must play on the road for a second straight day, having stretched its win streak to 22 with a 108-91 victory in Toronto on Sunday afternoon. That matched the 2007-08 Houston Rockets for No. 2 on the NBA's list of top winning streaks, shy of only the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers' run of 33.

"It's a special ride right now that we're on," James said. "The best thing about it is we're doing it together."

Houston's streak of 22 straight victories ended March 18, 2008, with a 94-74 home loss to the Celtics.

Miami's run began five days after a 100-98 double-overtime loss in Boston on Jan. 27, the same day the Celtics (36-29) learned Rajon Rondo was out for the season with a torn ACL. Shockingly, they've won all 11 of their games in Boston since losing Rondo, recording the team's longest single-season home winning streak since 2008-09.

"We just feel like this is a building we should never lose in," said Paul Pierce, whose Celtics are 24-9 at home. "Teams coming to the Garden, they've got to know that this is going to be their toughest game of the year. That's the feeling and the swagger that we're bringing."

This home win streak began with that thriller against the Heat (51-14), who have averaged a paltry 79.6 points in going 0-5 at Boston during the regular season since James joined the team. Miami, though, is 2-3 there in the playoffs over the past two years, including a Game 6 win in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals when the Celtics had a chance to close out the series.

The Heat also knocked them out in the conference semifinals a year earlier, but Boston has won 12 of the past 15 regular-season meetings. That includes a 7-3 record since James joined this rivalry, though the Celtics did lose 120-107 in Miami to open the season.

"We've got to know we're going to have a dog fight on our hands," said Dwyane Wade, who had 17 points on 6-of-20 shooting with six turnovers in the Jan. 27 loss at Boston.

James had a season-best 16 rebounds in that game and scored 34 points, but he took a season-high 31 field-goal attempts and missed a potential go-ahead 12-footer with less than seven seconds left in the second OT.

Kevin Garnett keyed the win with 24 points and 11 rebounds but could miss this matchup due to a strained muscle in his left thigh. He sat out Saturday's 105-88 win over Charlotte - just the second game he's missed all season - and coach Doc Rivers told the team's official website that Garnett is "50-50 at best" to play Monday.

"It's just a point of the year where you're just not going to play him if he's not feeling great," Rivers said.

Pierce should be well-rested, having played less than 24 minutes in each of the past two games after being given a night off Tuesday against the Bobcats. He had a triple-double in the last meeting with Miami and scored 23 points in the first one.
 
THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SPEAK TO KING IS WILT...

THE REST OF YALL SIT DOWN & SHUT THE FUCK UP!
 
It's funny how cats move the goal posts with this squad. They keep excelling and then cats find another reason why they don't match up.

Yep I just cant see any team is beating them in a 7 game series this season or next season for that matter

Gotta give it to them

I think a couple out west could have a slight chance but honestly I don't even think OKC has the best chance to beat the Heat but they will be the team coming out the west
 
The Heat are playing out of their minds right now...

I can honestly see the 3 peat in the making... :yes:

Much respect to them... Way to go... :cheers:
 
the Heat are one of those teams that seem to be able to get 4-6 consecutive stops on the defensive end especially in the 4th.

And they try to get away(for the most part, still happens from time to time) from hero ball
 
Listen... I'm not here to start any trouble.

I like the Heat... They are a fun team to watch... :yes:

How can you be a basketball fan and not like how they're playing right now?
 
Injuries are a part of the game... and shit happens...

The Knicks do not have anybody on their bench who can replace Melo, Chandler or Amar'e...

Therefore, I don't expect them to beat anybody right now... :smh:

But I been telling you outside of melo he has no help offensively

jR ain't it smh
