    No way, pippen and Rodman were superstars those years. Draymond comes close to being Rodman but Rodman is still probably better.

    why do i have the feeling that some people who were too young to remember the 90s are making blind statements?

    Tired of seeing and hearing about these f***ers.

    Curry needs his jaw broken... that'll stop his b-made mouthpiece chewing. Somebody slap the s*** outta his arse.


    Rodman wasn't a superstar, his offense might be the worse in league history. However, his rebounding and defense were elite and rightfully got him in the HOF. He's probably in the lowest tier of HOF though.


    Never understood why people say this. I mean, we are talking basketball and both players played basketball.

    Draymond has specific advantages and disadvantages just like Rodman does.

    Rod man was a great player in his own specific way, but Draymond Green is a very different player in almost every way. Pretty hard to compare the two.

    The bigger question in my mind is - will they beat the Pacers and bypass our 22-0 win streak? I'm rooting for the Pacers because I don't want the Warriors to have that satisfaction.

    Rodman didn't care about offense, not that he was naturally a bad offensive player.
    He'd rather get a rebound than shoot a jumper.

    he could probably shoot better than than some overrated players now.
    this was choice not talent.

    rodman was instrumental on 5 championship teams, dude won defensive player of the year twice.

    LOL..... he chose to shoot 58.4% career FT.

    Seriously, his was the most awkward looking player on offense ever. A complete fish out of water.

    Regardless, his HOF enshrinement was well deserved. He has an argument for greatest rebounder ever and is definitely one of the best defenders ever.

    I agree. He was a very good passer in a precision offense...high IQ.

    I was going to say the same thing: arguably the best rebounder ever, and easily the best defender ever from a non-Center position. And he played both SF and PF ranging from guys like Larry Bird and Karl Malone. And if he was on GSW right now, he would have guarded Lebron in the finals rather than Iggy. Green didn't guard Lebron.

    i don't care, if the warriors win more than 72 games, it's because this year, the competition is too weak, put this warrior team back to the 96-97 season, they won't win as many games

    Dudes this is one of the greatest team of all time and is very entertaining to watch.

    They'll be close but I doubt they break the record. The NBA season is long, with a lot of back-to-backs to come. At some point they'll be exhausted and the urgency to win, especially if they can put a lot of games between them and the 2nd seed, won't be there.

    Well, they have 60 games left, 29 on the road, and 31 at home. They won 67 last season, only lost twice at home, e.g., lost 13 on the road.

    I expect them to lose 1 game at home, and won >70% of the road games, that would make it about 72+ wins.

    didnt think it was possible as early as a week ago, but I'm starting to change my mind and loving the oppurtunity to witness their chase of history.

    Yes. When i said he chose, i meant that for his career. This means he chose not to develop any offense skills.

    It's not like he's Dwight who's had a million free throw coaches.

    The coaches just let him be. They don't draw up plays for him.

    They'll break it.

    The rockets 22 streak was a testament of rick adelmans system and how the role players are balanced.

    Golden state is a well balanced team and most of the nba is not.

    Exactly. A system.

    Which is why I ask every poster here that claims we are built just like the warriors to go shove a hand up their buthole.

    Steve Kerr says that there were several games that the 72-10 Bulls should have lost, but Jordan would pickup his intensity and will them to victory. We'll see if Curry is doing that when they're playing a back-to-back Tuesday night road game against an also-ran team.

    Isn't that exactly what Curry did today?
