"Bulls in four [games]," Pippen said during an interview at an AT&T event in Houston.

Pippen was then given a chance to explain his prediction and was asked whether he thought the Bulls would have an off-night against Golden State.

"I don't think we'd take a night off," he said.

Pippen said that he would draw the assignment of guarding league MVP Stephen Curry, while Michael Jordan would guard Klay Thompson.

"I think that my size and length would bother [Curry] a little bit," said Pippen, who claimed that he can keep Curry to fewer than 20 points.

Pippen also said on the Warriors "You know for me, to see the Warriors doing what they're doing today, the way the game has changed, I think it's great. I'm probably one of the Warriors biggest fans. I don't know if I'm watching them because I want to see them lose, but I played with Steve Kerr, one of my best friends, and I'm very happy to see him having that success. But I don't want to see him break my record."
