Defensive Plan -

The plan is essentially to keep his team out of the paint, and to block off lanes to Chamberlain with my team's ability to intercept passes, their athleticism and through alternating defensive patterns. Similar to the last round, more often than not the triangle-two zone would work perfectly because it makes sure Mutumbo is always on Chamberlain, and Jordan can cover their biggest backcourt offensive threat, and it allows the team to play team defense on Chamberlain (When Boston figured out to always play team defense on Chamberlain he had a tougher time than usual).

Jordan, on defense, definitely has an advantage on Lever despite Baron's claiming of the contrary. Jordan has a height advantage, was the better offensive/defensive player and there really isn't that big a difference in rebounding ability. While Lever did have that one big game against Chicago, his team still lost the game, and in all of his other games against Chicago he was pretty bad, and only managed to record a career 40% shooting percentage against Jordan (and in 9 games, he only had 2 other games where he shot over 40%). Jordan can stop him, and if needed, Jordan can easily shift over to Frazier if he's having a good night.

Also, Chamberlain doesn't have a HUGE advantage over this team on offense or defense. While he was a great inside player/ defensive presence/ rebounder etc... There's finally a solid defensive player, with size they're almost equal height) matched up with him. People were shorter back then, he didn't have to play against people with his size and strength as often back then.

Also, late in close games, HACK A WILT.

Offensive Plans -

Team game, led by Jordan. It's as simple as that. They can put all their defensive players on Jordan and do everything in their power to stop him, but this team has the ability to move the ball, penetrate and has the athelticism and skills required to finish. We will manage to get almost as many 2nd chance opportunities as them unless they want to take out the Defensive-3-Seconds rule and keep Wilt in there 24/7. Also, their team isn't nearly as quick as this Raptors team, and so Jordan's loved triangle system could prove to be bothersome for them, if and when we decide to use it.

They can play 1-on-1 with Jordan, he'll win that matchup, or they can double-team and leave a man open. Outside of Mutumbo, the other 4, as well as my bench players, have a solid inside/mid-range jumper, and a lot of the players have a decent or solid 3-pt shot, so leaving players open will hurt.

Overall Plan -

1) Team Ball/ Ball Movement/ When in doubt, ball to Jordan

2) Make the Bullets work hard on both ends. Whether they play team defense, or man-to-man, the Raptors have the ability to dismantle the defense even though they have some of the best defensive players in NBA history. This is mostly due to the fact that at SG they have a defensive advantage, and because this team in a half-court or full-court setting is a great passing team.

3) On defense, force them to make a shot. If they can beat us through shooting, so be it, but we're not giving up 80 points in the paint, and the Bullets may rely on that from time to time. We have greta perimeter lockdown defenders, and help defenders, with our 4-time DPOY inside.
