LeBrute is about to get his 3rd, I think they run through GSW because they haven't been there and LBJ alone has been there 5 times. Experience is huge. Hope it doesn't look like the drubbing OKC took. Ugh, I hate this.
1991 Bulls certainly didn't let their lack of experience get to them especially considering they were playing 5 time champion Magic Johnson. Not to mention no one besides James has been there on the Cavs, or atleast none of their most vital players (Marion, Perk, Haywood, Miller and Jones are hardly anything anymore).
I think the difference between this years Warriors and 2012s Thunder was that the Thunder had no answers for the Heats small ball lineups because they played Perk way too much. The Warriors are much better defensively and have a lot more depth than the Thunder and they have quite a few guys who can match up with Lebron. The 2012 Thunder had Durant and that was about it. They tried putting harden on Lebron and that was hilarious.
It also considerably helped Chicago that Worthy hurt his ankle in game 5 against the Blazers, because he was going to be the guy who would defend Jordan, and losing him really hurt them, obviously. That series was pretty close, even with the injuries to Scott and Worthy. If 42 wasn't hurt, I think that they could have beaten Chicago. If Jerry West had pulled the trigger on a trade with Seattle at the deadline which would have yielded Sedale Threatt, they would have won, because that Laker team wasn't as deep as those prior teams had been. They should have kept Cooper, too. Maybe not always for Jordan, but he could have still shut Pippen down, imo, and even if the Lakers had still lost, it would have been more of a passing of the torch with all of those core guys from the 80s still being there.
Regardless, Worthy's injury really helped the Bulls.
