Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 3523774, member: 1001"] It'd be interesting. The 2016 Finals are about all we have to go on; the refs let JR Smith, Shumpert & Co. get away with murder on Curry, especially off the ball, and it clearly affected him. I agree that CLE took GSW out of a lot of what they wanted to do, but that was also before KD arrived. That series was the closest thing to 90s ball that Steph had to deal with. He had an okay series, a little underwhelming with a few stinkers. And this is JR and Shumpert were talking about here, athletic guys but not great defenders. Now switch to talking about MJ, Pippen, Dennis Johnson, etc and it's something worth discussing. KD had some struggles with Stephen Jackson's physical defense in those OKC/Spurs series 8-9 years ago. I'm not sure anyone would manhandle GSW because having three shooters of their caliber is downright unfair but I do think MJ's Bulls could beat them. [/QUOTE]
