CHICAGO -- The respect is there.
The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, the team that set an NBA record by going 72-10 in the regular season and winning an NBA championship, is watching what the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors are doing with equal parts pride, awe and angst. The Warriors come into Wednesday night's game against this version of the Bulls with a 38-4 record. They've been compared to the Bulls at every turn, especially since they began the year on an improbable and record-setting 24-0 winning streak.
But before any comparisons are drawn between the two super teams, the Bulls want to make one thing very clear.
