Who would you take in a 7 game series?

1997-98 Chicago Bulls, no Jordan.
2011-12 Chicago Bulls, no Rose.

2012 Heat w/o James :troll:

I really can't answer this.

The 98 Bulls had more talent but the 12 Bulls have more passion.

If I was forced to vote one of them I would say 98 Bulls.

I will go with the 98 Bulls simply because they have Scottie Pippen.

If you wipe the injuries, then I take the 98 Bulls easy. But if you take the teams, exactly as they were... then I think this Bulls team can beat them.

The 1994 Bulls team without Jordan would beat this currant Bulls team with Rose.
Yes.
I just logged into my trusty 1982 Atari XE super computer and simulated the 94 team against the 2012 Bulls with Rose in perfect health.
The 94 Bulls win the series 4-2

With my highly sophisticated print outs in hand, its safe to assume that the 1998 Bulls very much defeat the currant Bulls team WITHOUT Rose.

Its the same team as the Jordanless 94 Bulls minus Grant Armstrong and replaced with Rodman, Harper and a more mature smarter Kucoc.

Makes sense.

That is of course if you don't count Pippen injury of the 98 season which would mean the 98 Bulls minus Jordan would also be the 98 Bulls without Pippen.

Without Pippen and Jordan, the currant Bulls team without Rose might be even.
So the series would go 7 games.

Many scenerios can be used in my diagnostic studys.

  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Chicago Blackhawks
I think the bench makes a huge difference here. 98 Bulls had an okay bench because of Kukoc and Kerr and Wennington to an extent. The current Bulls have a far superior bench, but not nearly as much power in the starting lineup. Though I don't think the gap is ridiculous outside of Pippen. Yeah Rodman was probably the best rebounder in the game when he played, but Boozer, Noah, Asik, and Gibson are all great rebounders themselves. One on one Rodman can beat them, but against two of them? I doubt he'd be getting his 15-18 rebounds easily. Outside of those two, no one on the 98 Bulls is miles better than anyone on this Bulls team. Harper would probably give Watson all kinds of problems with his length though. Randy Brown is kind of like a Tony Allen type player so he could give Rip some problems. Noah is definitely better than the Longley/Wennington duo. Kukoc is the best bench player, but on the whole the bench mob wins that battle.

After all that...I think this Bulls team could pull it out, but it'd be tough. Very very tough.

I think you are underselling Longley and Wennington a lot here. Also leaving out a guy like Burrell and Caffey who could play needed minutes as well.

Frankly, I think the 98 Bulls make easy work of this years team.

Plus Pippen showed he could lead a team and do it really well while controlling the game on both ends. No one else on the current Bulls team really has those chops and I think that's a HUGE advantage
