The Bulls were in New Orleans last night to take on the Pelicans as they wrap up a very disappointing season. One where they’ll miss the postseason for the first time in eight years.

As the Warriors have matched and are closing in on besting the Bulls seemingly untouchable mark of 72 wins in the regular season Wednesday night, the ultimate water cooler and completely hypothetical debate over who would win in a 7-game series between these all-time great teams has gained a fair amount of steam.
