Fans and analysts often like to compare players and teams from different eras, and recent comparisons of whether the Warriors in 2017 can beat the 1996 Bulls have once again caused a lot of debate.
While Bulls star Scotty Pippen believes the Bulls are the team that can win in 6 games, Warriors superstar Stephen Curry also believes that the Warriors can win in 6 games. In response, George Carr, who clashed with Michael Jordan in the 1996 Finals, said the Bulls were the stronger team:
"In that year, no one on Earth could beat Michael."
Of course, there is little point in comparing players and teams of different eras, but if you have to compare and choose a stronger team, the Warriors of 2017 will be the team with better tactical systems and player technical ability.
On the other hand, Draymond Green, the Warriors' core interior lineman, has not played in the Warriors' last game against the Grizzlies, but according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Green will continue to miss the next two games:
The Warriors' next two games are against the Bucks and Bulls, and Green's absence will undoubtedly have an impact on the Warriors' ability to win.
Finally, according to the Warriors' announcement, the team has delegated rookie guard Moses Moody to the Santa Cruz Warriors, a team under the Development League:
So far this season, Moody has played 25 games for the Warriors, but averaged only 7 minutes of playing time per game and contributed only 2.1 points and 1 rebound. However, he averaged 31.9 minutes in seven games for the Santa Cruz Warriors and had 26.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1 block.
