Outside the box point: I think it would be totally different. I've always said that winning the biggest championship in sports history, and doing it the way they did, was bound to mess things up for the future. The team and its young players lost their edge just a bit and understandably so, and their talent was so good that they still win 90 plus games, but it wasn't the same. ETA: And I wouldn't change a thing, of course.
