Forget about them beating the championship Bulls teams , Waddle and Wilbon think Magic and company would sweep them . I tend to agree .

If they can play by 80s rules they win. If it's by 2017 rules... it's a closer series and they probably lose.

How do you stop Kareem? Those 80's Lakers teams were solid defensively too.

Of course not. Golden State probably wins the series

You don't. You let him get his and score 125 to win.

Like I said, it depends on which era of rules we are applying.

I don't think everything new is better. The 80's Lakers would beat many recent champions. I just don't think they would be able to stop Golden State

They can't stop Lebron currently and doesn't matter. That 80's team would have no idea what to do against a team that shoots 40 threes and some nights makes half of them

Nothing better than guys who don't watch the NBA talking about how terrible the NBA is nowadays

The shorthanded Spurs would have beaten them. Only thing the Warriors do better is shoot 3's. That Lakers teams was more athletic, better defensively and more well rounded offensively. They had a better coach too.

Larry Bird's Celtics beat Magic in the Finals. So did the Pistons. The Pistons would have beat them twice in the finals but Thomas sprained his ankle in the one they lost.

So of course Golden State could beat them. They sure as hell wouldn't get swept.

I think Magic was 5-4 in the finals. Maybe 5-3. So let's not act like showtime was unbeatable.

GS probably concedes after 3 games.

What do LeBron do consistently well offensively? He has no bread and butter move.

Nonsense. The current Warriors team is way better defensively and more athletic. If you think the showtime lakers would win I understand that. Anyone saying it would be a sweep is a moron and just trying be over the top about hating on the warriors.

Drive to the basket. He's great at it.

To say the Warriors would get swept by the Lakers is just silly.

Could the Lakers beat GS? Yes. But GS could just as easily beat them as well.

I don't think there is a championship team that could sweep the Warriors.

That isn't a go to move. He's unstoppable in transition but not in a half court game. The Lakers could do both.

I didn't say sweep. Magic is the weak link defensively for the Lakers but he was solid playing team defense. The Warriors only have 2 good defenders. Let's not even talk about the bench. Lakers clearly have the edge. It goes no more than 6 regardless of the rules.

No. The Bulls didn't sweep the Lakers, Blazers, Suns, Sonics or Jazz. All went 6 games except the Lakers. That was 5 games. So if they couldn't sweep those teams, they sure as hell aren't sweeping Golden State.

They swept a Magic team that may have been more talented than the Warriors. I would argue there isn't a player on the Warriors better than Shaq or Penny.

The Pacers took the Bulls to a game 7 for the love of God. C'mon Nas.

That was 1998. WTF does that mean? The Magic were better than the Warriors on paper and the Bulls swept them.

It just means that GS is better then that Pacers team thus the Bulls would not sweep them.

You guys make a good point. The Bulls may get bored and GS wins a game or two.

Post subject:  Re: Do the Showtime Lakers sweep Golden State

Unless you're specifically talking about the 95/96 team. But I still don't think they sweep them.

Like I said, the Sonics took them to 6 games in the finals. GS is better than the Sonics.
