The nba back then was a different animal. More teams ran. I dont have the stats to do it nor particularly know where to get them but i would ask GMC if he could look it up to the points per 100 possessions thing. The nba was just a better offensive league at the time. Of course the bulls gave up more points but the fact that it was close means that the Bulls were better defensively. Im pretty sure they were first in defensive fg% and points allowed

Ask and you shall receive, 5-0. Using the formula Pelton indexes the '96 Bulls allowed opponents to score at a rate of 102.8 pp100. The current Pistons team is giving up points at a rate of 105.6 pp100. To put those numbers in better perspective, here are the two teams' defensive rankings in the four defensive factors:
Stat-category.....Bulls.....Pistons efg%.................6..........10 TO-rate.............5..........24 Def-Reb%..........8..........27 ft-ratio...............7..........2

Is TO-Rate higher number better?

Lower numbers are better.

I do. The only team I could see challenging them would be and i hate to say this, the first shaq and kobe team. Shaq was SOOOOOOOOOO dominant at that time and that is the bulls only weakness. I think that bulls team would win mainly because of jordan and i think pippen would give kobe fits. Would be fun to watch though. This pistons team loses in 5. I would say sweep but the bulls never swept people.

If the Kobe/Shaq Lakers, who steamrolled over everything in their path for 3 years coudldn't win 70 games, then the superstar-less Pistons damn sure won't.

I had missed the part on the page for the Bulls stats where it had their overall defensive efficiency ranking in pp100 allowed (that's why I put up the rankings for the individual categories), but I just found it when I was looking through the Mavs' stats for 02/03. The Bulls ranked 1st that year (on both offense and defense). Knickerblogger currently has the Pistons ranked 14th in defensive pp100 (1st in offensive pp100).
