Again da knicks should end this in 5... If it wasnt fo dat phantom call on pippen a jordanless bulls,woulda broken da knicks heart once again..knicks so lukky
by far the best series in basketball of all times! only one thing missin- the ring for ewing, oak, mase, harper and starks! but the rockets were the better team in 1994, the bench and a certain Sam Cassell who nailed the game winner in gm 3..... long live the memos.... i could cry
NY fans can suck a DOG'S DICK!!!!! BFD...made it to the Finals, fir what? To get your ass waxed by the Rockets!!!! If we're pussies, at least we stand by our team, unlike you fair-weather losers...! The Finals ONCE in the PE era & nada since? Anything??? MVP? DPY? 6thMOY? AAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! LMFAO!
Fuck the Bulls. Chicago fans and players are pussies. NY Knicks all day. We're reloaded with Melo and Amare and now the rivalry is back. And we're coming for you bitches.
@switchinlaaaaaaaanes new york knicks 2012 have absolutely NOTHING in common with the knicks of the 90s!!!! starts with the coach who does not know how to play defense! same as melo and Amare!!! they´re pussies! no championship for them in years! that is not anything like the new york knicks in the 90s! in fact it is just a shame!!!!
John starks was a great player no doubt, but he fucked up big time. The last shot in game six I cant really blame starks for because olajowan just made the right play at the right time. But game seven was all his fault. 2 for 18, come on man.
@bigdog75ish i remember watching that game 7 and thinking why is he just jacking up brick after brick ,and why isnt ewing doing anything ???isnt this pats team???later on i saw something with pat riley where he said that he was the one that told starks to keep shooting to try and shoot his way out of it ...i was like ..how stupid..
Fuck the Knicks! Fuck the Knicks! Stupid ass fags still taken to 7, and they would have lost BEFORE that had that p.o.s Hue Hollins not made an awful call in the fifth game..then, in the Eastern Conference Finals, late in Game 7 between the Pacers and Knicks at MSG, Reggie Miller gets called for a very cheap flagrant foul on John Starks. New York was very fortunate to even make the Finals. Oh well, they choked hard in crunch time vs Houston. Particularly that dickwad Starks. Fuck New York.
Waaaah. Phantom call, and the 100 phantom calls Scottie and Jordan got endlessly... cry more. Scottie should have played soccer with his acting when fouled.
@Chupacabra777 well everyone knows the kincks needed help to beat the Jordanlees Bulls then... and to prove that they did NOT belong a champion they were beat by Houston!..the knicks were thugs back then not players patrick scored half his points walking in the lane down low...his average should be 12 a game not 24/25..lol
Ewing was right on in saying it took a miracle for them to win. That foul was bs considering the ball had already left Hubert Davis's hand. Even without Jordan, the Bulls nearly beat the Knicks again.
its a lot harder to improve any team, let alone a championship winning team from lets say 55 wins to 70, then improving from 20 to 60 wins. thats why i think jordan is the best player ever. also, HAVE YOU SEEN HIM PLAY?!?!? only iverson was more exciting for me. and EVERY star player gets the benefit of the doubt, not only jordan. and jordan is >>>>>>>>>>>>> than wilt.just sayin'.
Let me first say that Jordan and Chamberlain were the best players who ever lived. You can have either 1/2, no argument. To say however that Jordan didn't get the benefit of the calls throughout his career is madness. I saw him play in person and on TV many times, and you'd see it time and time again. The last shot of his career vs. the Jazz was a push off. Argue that he "earned" those non-calls, but not that they didn't happen.
@knix200129 Many people performed that move and no call was called on them as well. That "pushoff" is seldom called in the NBA and is many times a routine move when performing a crossover. It wasn't that hard of a push. Just instincts used to free himself up for the shot.
@knix200129 Wilt only avgd 23ppg after the lane was widened in '66. The 3sec rule also disallowed him to camp out in the lane & put back shot after shot. Jordan is the only player to avg 30ppg for a career in the 16ft lane era & Wilt was a horrid ft shooter. He said himself that he hated the pressure of close games because his nerves got to him & thats why he struggled with his fts lol. Hakeem had better range & ball handling than Wilt & was a solid ft shooter. Jordan's by himself no flaws
@c2g1980: True Wilt's stats went down after they widened the lane, but this was at the tail end of his career so that could have played a roll in the drop as well. Jordan was definitely more clutch than Wilt, no argument. Wilt's 50% career FT shooting was horrid. Keep in mind though, that when his scoring went down he went on to lead the league in assists in '67/'68!
@knix200129 Actually he was still young (only 26yrs old) when his scoring dropped dramatically. It was playing w/Elgin & West that decreased his scoring opportunities & increased his assist. Its just the tougher the competition got the less he produced overall & needed to rely more on his teammates which isn't a knock on him because that statement is true for every nba player except Jordan. By that I mean 30ppg in the reg season, 33ppg in the playoffs, 34ppg in the finals for his career.
And i really don't understand why bulls fans are so selfish, They always got the calls in the past...A-L-W-A-Y-S.... who cares if they didn't win a championship that year. They haven't won anything since 98 with jordan..and scottie couldn't win anything for portland in 99 and after that.The knicks are horrible now and they deserve it. for all the dumb trades they have done.
Correction, The bulls as good they were, Never swepted The 90's knicks..In 93 The bulls were down 0-2 in that series.and it fell apart for the knicks for some reason. The bulls as usual got all the calls against every team on the league MJ had to take over games..Against utah, lakers, houston,..Etc. it never fail when MJ was around. And a championship is a championship. does that mean because today's players didn't face jordan. that there championship dosen't mean anything or not as important ?
oh, please that just shows that the bulls weren't any good without jordan carrying them like damn Babies!! Talking so much junk, Yeah show off . For having a Arrogant jerk as a player who can't even be A good Human being.
The Knicks sucked this year. Took them 7 games to beat Chicago without Jordan? Please! This Knicks team wasn't smart, tough, nor did they have any real heart. To me they were a joke and a fake opponent for Jordan - it was like a vacation for Jordan and the Bulls playing against the Knicks because they faced tougher competition against Detroit.
@crosseyedflame yup. that foul cost the Bulls to lose the series. or else they had that game won to go up 3-2 & they won game 6 at home. so it was supposed to be Bulls in 6. and they would have gone on to the finals against Olajuwon's Rockets. but I doubt they would have won.
this was the proof that the bulls had a great team even without jordan,obviously he was the ex factor for them but still great team,but this year and the next hakeem was just too much for whoever came up, my fav center of all-time
@BOMPTONPIRU okay. but I do admit, most of Jordan's travels were not called in the NBA. either because 1) the referee's felt bad to call a travel on the G.O.A.T. or 2) Jordan was too quick for the referee's to even catch a travel on him. my best knowledge tells me to go with option 2 (though barely)
Lakers wouldnt trade center Divac for young high school kid Kobe and he would play for Hornets....Pippen would cry for bigger contract every year then he would finaly join Barkley in Phonex. Bulls wouldnt trade Perdue for Rodman, Spurs wouldnt have loosin seson in 97 and they wouldnt draft pick Duncan.....and so on, butterfly effect :)
If Davies hadnt got the call, bulls would have won the series, Indiana and Houston were not that good defensive teams and Bulls would have gone all the way..... But then MJ wouldnt came back, and then there wouldnt be any team to stop young orlando magic in the east. Shaq would win with Orlando and he would stay in florida.
Not mad at the Knicks but this series was a fluke because of a few key calls unjustly in the Knicks favor. A few years later, I felt the exact same as the Knicks were robbed of another Eastern Conference Finals showdown with the Bulls in '97 when they got screwed in the Miami series. So I'm baised, I was going for both Chicago and New York in the 90s but being from Chicago at the time, of course I wanted the Bulls to win every time.
Pisses me off that call was made on Pippen that cost them the game in game 5. One of the worst calls I have ever seen that decided the outcome of a game. Not to mention that cost Pippen at proving he was just as much of a leader as MJ seeing as how that cost them a chance at going to the conference finals. Instead people perceive it as him not being able to live up to expectations...
Just shows the Bulls really didn't need MJ. MJ=Waaay Overrated! Bulls still took the Knicks to game 7 and had they been at home they probably would have won. Either way, either team would have lost to the Rockets, with or w/o Jordan.
damn str8 it was good bball but starks ..lol.. starks was a whineyass bitch who pitched a fucking fit everytime things didn't go his way .. pfft . michael soared & was perhaps named the best but w/o his teammates would have never taken the championships he did ..pippen now he's a great player ..he has pulled moves out his ass that no 1 could even imagine was possible, truly a great player & never given the credit due to a migraine..whatever .. i think he made up for that migraine ..6 times
If you play bball at all, you gotta check out snipurl[dot]com/nbatraining. It’s a vertical training program that will help you start dunking and you don't even need to go to the gym (if you don't want to)!
Worthless Knicks had to be bailed out by a non existant foul called on Pippen in game 5. The most cowardly and worst call ever in NBA playoff history.
@madcek 100% agreed! Even though the Knicks lost game 7 of the '94 Finals mainly because of Starks' 2-for-18 shooting, Starks was the reason that the Knicks were even in the Finals! If John Starks wasn't on the Knicks at that time, the Knicks probably wouldn't have even made it to the Finals!
@htbrdr Was it Ewing or X McDaniel he was yelling at? (Maybe both). McDaniel was playing a very physical style of ball in that series and he makes contact with Jordan on the play.
@htbrdr it was not ewing, it was xavier mcdaniel, he yelled at xavier because of the hard blow to the face made by him before michael's shot.. it was a very hard foul that could end MJ's career that night.. good thing mike's upperbody strength showed its power
@htbrdr it was not ewing, it was xavier mcdaniel, he yelled at xavier because of the hard blow to the face made by him before michael's shot.. it was a very hard foul that could end MJ's career that night.. good thing mike's upperbody strength showed its power
He also played with Hakeem Olajuwon, which dropped his stats. You can look this up. Before he teamed up with Hakeem his numbers looked like 20 and 10. After that they were ore like 14 and 9. Rather than gawking at someone, maybe you should do a little homework you fuckin' idiot.
The Pistons that knocked Jordan out of the playoffs did not do as well of a defensive job on Jordan. They made him take jump shots. The Rockets gave him hell inside and out.
By the way, Kenny Smith and Otis Thorpe were better than the Bulls point guard and power forward. Maxwell was a big guard for that time. He guarded Jordan tighter than anyone ever. If Jordan beat him off the dribble, no problem. Hakeem had his back. The Rockets didn't give up nearly as many dunks and lay ups and Jordan couldn't just post up Maxwell like he did the other;,smaller guards.
No, idiot. Thorpe was better than Horrace Grand. Pippen was not a PF. Idiot. And yes Kenny Smith was better than BJ. So was Sam Cassell - A BENCH PLAYER.
RIGHT........LOL Are you freaking kidding me!!!! The Rockets had no Grant or Pippen!!!lol Jordan & Pippen are the best doul in sports history! Thorpe?? Kenny?lol Get out of here man. You phony!!;) Cassell better than BJ????WTF? BJ to that point had more experience and skill than anyone on the Rokets bench! Purdue alone was better than all forwards on the Rocket bench! Paxson was better than any point guard in the Rockets roster!! Are you kidding me!!LOL U R blind dude.
Your the fucking idiot!!! Your comparing Sam to BJ in the early 90's???WTF??? What had Sam done that was better than BJ in this era???!!!! Please humor me!!!! BJ had clutch shots against the Knicks and Pistons in the playoffs with 3 rings!! What had SAm done prior to their championship, please, humor me homo??!!!!! You know what, I'm done with your dumbass!!;)
Game winning shot in a finals game? Hummm? You obviously know zero. Sam didn't only hit bigger shots, he was later an all star. BJ at his peak was a bench warmer. The Rockets had a future all star coming off their bench, but the Bulls was better? You don't know ANYTHING you stupid muthafucker you.
Once again you prove how stupid a human being can be!!!lol I said clutch you fucking retard! I don't see in anyway how you got "clutch shots" to "winning shots"!!! You are the stupid motherfucker who needs to read a book!!!! PWND!!
If you consider Sam Cassell's winning three pointer at the end of NBA finals game 3 in 1994 not to be clutch, you have no case for intelligence. How is a winning shot not a clutch shot?
Thorpe better than Horace Grant in the early 90's era???LOL Smith better than BJ??!!!LOL This guy is a clown for sure!!!hahahahaha I'm done talking to this cock rocket groupie!!!;)
If you compare Kenny Smith's NBA career to BJ's, there is no question whatsoever, that Smith was by far a better player for a much longer period than BJ was. BJ was a glorified role player who had a few decent years, Smith was a solid starting pg for years for a good team.
As far as Grant and Otis Thorpe go, that's pretty much a wash. Horace was a good player but Thorpe was a beast as well.
Fair. But Kenny was in a much better teams through out his career than BJ. HE went from Rockets to Magic during the 90's, better role players in those teams than the warriors and late 90's magic team. I take BJ anytime over Smith. BJ was much more clutch than kenny.
With that logic Jud Buechler was a better player than Chris Mullin. BJ was an average guard and a good role player, that's it. Right place at a right time. Even Ron Harper rode the bench and was a cast away until Jordan came back to play. After that he became a valuable part of the championship teams. Just right place at the right time,that's all.
The fact is, The Bulls did not match up well with the Rockets. You can argue that the Bulls were better, and maybe they were, but superior teams lose to inferior teams all the time. It's called not matching up well. The Houston Rockets had a bigger guard (Vernon Maxwell) and were able to force Jordan into being a mid to long range jump shooter. Houston didn't give up dunks and layups to Chicago like the rest of the league. Jordan wasn't able to post Maxwell up on the low block so much.
You're taking it a little personally here. Relax and take a breath. The fact is we will never know. So instead we have a debate here. With respect to debating, take heed of my other response to you, instead of name calling, post where you are getting your statistical info so it helps boost your credibility instead of undermining it.
anybody who thinks the rockets would have beat the bulls are outta there mind..had mike not had left the bulls would have like 8 or 9 rings now... and lets not forget pipps is one the 50th greatest players of all time
This was a great era in basketball. It's sad to see what New York has come too now. At least I have these memories against the Bulls, Pacers and so on...good times. Hello Kobe and Lebron.
all i have to say to knick fans who say the bulls were a one man team... shame on you crybabies for letting "one" man beat the hell out of your sucker knicks game after game.
Man i took them seven games and a bullshit foul call, to beat a bulls team with out Michael Jordan. I dont give a fuck they are weak, they didnt deserve to even the make it to the finals.
Albert & contello? or Mike frontello. He was a coach in the NBA aswell. I can google it but too I'm lazy to open up another page while i'm on the tube.hahahaha
The paper champion Houston Rockets. Never had to beat a champion team. You only won your championships because Jordan needed a vacation. Jordan returns, Rockets fizzle.
That's really weak sauce. For one, MJ 'retired' because of his gambling. No one can tell me differently...and two, the writing was on the wall for the Bulls...they would've lost to the Knicks with Jordan in '94 IMHO. Much like how the Spurs kept being built to beat the Lakers until they finally did in 2003, that's exactly what would've happened with Chicago in '94. All this crap about 8 straight titles is nuts. Even MJ's hunger wouldn't have been as strong if they kept winning. It's human nature
Talk about weak sauce, your humble opinion is as weak as water on nachos. Even having the home court advantage, and even with help from the ref in the form of the phanton call, it still took NY 7 games to "beat" the Bulls without Jordan. If MJ would have been there, the Bulls would have had home court and it would have been over in 4. Simply put, although there were many tough series, the Bulls always had the Knicks number, period.
Also, the Bulls did keep winning, they were in the playoffs each year from '85 to '98, winning 6 titles, including two three-peats between '91 and '98. This would have continued had MJ not retired for good after '98. Bulls, best team ever.
The Rockets had a 5-1 record against the Bulls in 91, 92, and 93. The Bulls would not have won in 94 or 95 with or without Jordan. However, the 96, 97 and 98 Bulls teams were better. I think had MJ not retired and come back, he would have had less than 6.
I'm surprised the Bulls played the Rockets only 6 times over those three years, assuming what you say is correct. Houston still didn't win the title in any of those years. Bear in mind the regular season and post-season are entirely different levels of play. What we're really concerned about here are the 94 and 95 seasons when Houston won the title. Not that it would have meant much in the post-season, but I wonder what the Bulls/Rockets regular season record was during the 94 and 95 seasons
Every team in the other conference plays the other teams in the other conference twice a year. Three times two is six. The Rockets were a problematic match up for the Bulls. Had the two teams met in the finals, the only question is how many games the Bulls would have lasted.
You could back up your statement by posting the Rockets record against the Bulls during the 93-94 and 94-95 seasons? You really can't use the 91 through 93 seasons for comparison here, different teams and players. But again, the regular season and post season are entirely different levels of play. If I recall correctly, the Bulls had a losing 92-93 regular season record against the Knicks, a team built around a center, but beat them in the playoffs, without home court, and after being down 0-2
Patrick Ewing was no where near as good of a backside/weakside help defender as Hakeem Olajuwon(and David Robinson[Spurs]) and Ewing was also not nearly as good with his back to the basket. Ewing took a lot of long jump shots for a man his size. His footwork was all wrong. He took more jab steps than drop steps.
Ewing sure did accomplish quite a bit, albeit failing to win a championship, for a man whose "footwork was all wrong". You still haven't posted the Bulls/Rockets record from 93-94 and 94-95. You also say, in a different post, that Jordan has lifetime losing records against Hakeem and Robinson. Where are you getting your information and could you please post it or link to it. Doing so would give you some credibility instead of looking like some loudmouth throwing out unsubstantiated "facts".
whiteboyofthelake, you're an idiot. I'm not going to dignify anymore of your post, but THE FIRST THING I POSTED WAS JORDAN'S RECORD AGAINST THE ROCKETS IN THE 90-91 TO THE 02-93 SEASONS AND IT IS 1 AND 5. That's right! The Bulls lost five out of six games to the Rockets during the regular season. Do a little research and fuck off.
This must really be getting to you, judging by your name calling and crappy typing skills in your last post. Are you trembing with anger? Take a hint and get a life. There's nothing wrong with debating an issue, but letting this issue upset you the way it has says that you have some personal issues to resolve. What about the Rockets/Bulls record during 93-94 and 94-95? That is the topic of discussion here, as this video was of the 1994 ECSF. Post statistics relevant to the topic.
Jordan,Armstrong,Grant,Pippen,Kukoc were in their prime at that time. The Eastern Conference was a bit better than the West in overall teams. (The Bulls man-man were better than the Rockets) Jordan in the finals against the Rockets would of had tremendous highlights. Pure fact. The stats on each player are much superior on the Bulls in that era. The Rockets would of gone crazy trying to figure out how to guard Jordan. I've played this scenario in my head about a billion times.lol
You haven't played any scenario. You're full of shit. Vernon Maxwell guarded Jordan tight and forced him baseline, into Hakeem. This worked. There were three teams in Jordan's career that could deal with him. The Rockets were one of them. The PURE FACT is that Jordan has lifetime losing records against David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon.
Your the one who is full of shit!! Your comparing Maxwell to Jordan!!!lol In the playoffs!!!!LOL WTF?? The regular season stats don't mean shit. The playoffs is were in counts, and the Bulls had the esperience that the rokets didn't have at the time. The only player for player that the rockets had better than the bulls was the Center position. The bulls starting 5 and bench were deeper. Plus your forgettting that the Bulls had a guy by the name of Michael Jordan!!!! Debate done!!:)
Same shit fuck face!!!! Know one in the history of the game could match up with Jordan especially not around the early 90's where he was in his prime!!! Go fuck yourself you dumbmotherfucker!! You have no clue what you are talking about. Look at both benches during the Rockets champs season.... The Bulls were clearly better in that aspect..... With Jordan, they were Gods!!!!
Oh....p.s....the only thing Houston owned when jordan didn't play...was an ass-whooping in the west...hahahahaha...but seriously, Hakeem is one of the best players ever!!!
The 1990 to 1995 Knicks are right up there with such sports dynasties as the 1970's Vikings, 1990's Cleveland Indians or the 1990's Utah Jazz. Good, but just not good enough.
Van Gundy is a piece of shit. The reality is that no calls they got from Jordan were game deciding calls. He and the Knicks were fortunate. The Bulls would have won in 6.
Again da knicks should end this in 5... If it wasnt fo dat phantom call on pippen a jordanless bulls,woulda broken da knicks heart once again..knicks so lukky

Its just the tougher the competition got the less he produced overall & needed to rely more on his teammates which isn't a knock on him because that statement is true for every nba player except Jordan. By that I mean 30ppg in the reg season, 33ppg in the playoffs, 34ppg in the finals for his career.

And i really don't understand why bulls fans are so selfish, They always got the calls in the past...A-L-W-A-Y-S.... who cares if they didn't win a championship that year. They haven't won anything since 98 with jordan..and scottie couldn't win anything for portland in 99 and after that.The knicks are horrible now and they deserve it. for all the dumb trades they have done.
Jessyjoyable 1 year ago
Correction, The bulls as good they were, Never swepted The 90's knicks..In 93 The bulls were down 0-2 in that series.and it fell apart for the knicks for some reason. The bulls as usual got all the calls against every team on the league MJ had to take over games..Against utah, lakers, houston,..Etc. it never fail when MJ was around. And a championship is a championship. does that mean because today's players didn't face jordan. that there championship dosen't mean anything or not as important ?

Not mad at the Knicks but this series was a fluke because of a few key calls unjustly in the Knicks favor. A few years later, I felt the exact same as the Knicks were robbed of another Eastern Conference Finals showdown with the Bulls in '97 when they got screwed in the Miami series. So I'm baised, I was going for both Chicago and New York in the 90s but being from Chicago at the time, of course I wanted the Bulls to win every time.

Pisses me off that call was made on Pippen that cost them the game in game 5. One of the worst calls I have ever seen that decided the outcome of a game. Not to mention that cost Pippen at proving he was just as much of a leader as MJ seeing as how that cost them a chance at going to the conference finals. Instead people perceive it as him not being able to live up to expectations...

He also played with Hakeem Olajuwon, which dropped his stats. You can look this up. Before he teamed up with Hakeem his numbers looked like 20 and 10. After that they were ore like 14 and 9. Rather than gawking at someone, maybe you should do a little homework you fuckin' idiot.

Thorpe wasn't an all star, except for one season, because he played in a conference with Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, and Shawn Kemp.
Justs99171 2 years ago
The Pistons that knocked Jordan out of the playoffs did not do as well of a defensive job on Jordan. They made him take jump shots. The Rockets gave him hell inside and out.
Justs99171 2 years ago
By the way, Kenny Smith and Otis Thorpe were better than the Bulls point guard and power forward. Maxwell was a big guard for that time. He guarded Jordan tighter than anyone ever. If Jordan beat him off the dribble, no problem. Hakeem had his back. The Rockets didn't give up nearly as many dunks and lay ups and Jordan couldn't just post up Maxwell like he did the other;,smaller guards.

If you compare Kenny Smith's NBA career to BJ's, there is no question whatsoever, that Smith was by far a better player for a much longer period than BJ was. BJ was a glorified role player who had a few decent years, Smith was a solid starting pg for years for a good team.
As far as Grant and Otis Thorpe go, that's pretty much a wash. Horace was a good player but Thorpe was a beast as well.
75samuel75 2 years ago
Fair. But Kenny was in a much better teams through out his career than BJ. HE went from Rockets to Magic during the 90's, better role players in those teams than the warriors and late 90's magic team. I take BJ anytime over Smith. BJ was much more clutch than kenny.
hushg2000 2 years ago
@75samuel75 Who won more championships? BJ that's who...

With that logic Jud Buechler was a better player than Chris Mullin. BJ was an average guard and a good role player, that's it. Right place at a right time. Even Ron Harper rode the bench and was a cast away until Jordan came back to play. After that he became a valuable part of the championship teams. Just right place at the right time,that's all.
75samuel75 1 year ago
The fact is, The Bulls did not match up well with the Rockets. You can argue that the Bulls were better, and maybe they were, but superior teams lose to inferior teams all the time. It's called not matching up well. The Houston Rockets had a bigger guard (Vernon Maxwell) and were able to force Jordan into being a mid to long range jump shooter. Houston didn't give up dunks and layups to Chicago like the rest of the league. Jordan wasn't able to post Maxwell up on the low block so much.

That's really weak sauce. For one, MJ 'retired' because of his gambling.

Much like how the Spurs kept being built to beat the Lakers until they finally did in 2003, that's exactly what would've happened with Chicago in '94. All this crap about 8 straight titles is nuts. Even MJ's hunger wouldn't have been as strong if they kept winning. It's human nature
cbaldwinjr 2 years ago
Talk about weak sauce, your humble opinion is as weak as water on nachos. Even having the home court advantage, and even with help from the ref in the form of the phanton call, it still took NY 7 games to "beat" the Bulls without Jordan. If MJ would have been there, the Bulls would have had home court and it would have been over in 4. Simply put, although there were many tough series, the Bulls always had the Knicks number, period.
whiteboyoffthelake 2 years ago 2
Also, the Bulls did keep winning, they were in the playoffs each year from '85 to '98, winning 6 titles, including two three-peats between '91 and '98. This would have continued had MJ not retired for good after '98. Bulls, best team ever.
whiteboyoffthelake 2 years ago
The Rockets had a 5-1 record against the Bulls in 91, 92, and 93. The Bulls would not have won in 94 or 95 with or without Jordan. However, the 96, 97 and 98 Bulls teams were better. I think had MJ not retired and come back, he would have had less than 6.
Justs99171 2 years ago
I'm surprised the Bulls played the Rockets only 6 times over those three years, assuming what you say is correct. Houston still didn't win the title in any of those years. Bear in mind the regular season and post-season are entirely different levels of play. What we're really concerned about here are the 94 and 95 seasons when Houston won the title. Not that it would have meant much in the post-season, but I wonder what the Bulls/Rockets regular season record was during the 94 and 95 seasons
whiteboyoffthelake 2 years ago
Every team in the other conference plays the other teams in the other conference twice a year. Three times two is six. The Rockets were a problematic match up for the Bulls. Had the two teams met in the finals, the only question is how many games the Bulls would have lasted.
Justs99171 2 years ago
You could back up your statement by posting the Rockets record against the Bulls during the 93-94 and 94-95 seasons? You really can't use the 91 through 93 seasons for comparison here, different teams and players. But again, the regular season and post season are entirely different levels of play. If I recall correctly, the Bulls had a losing 92-93 regular season record against the Knicks, a team built around a center, but beat them in the playoffs, without home court, and after being down 0-2
whiteboyoffthelake 2 years ago
Patrick Ewing was no where near as good of a backside/weakside help defender as Hakeem Olajuwon(and David Robinson[Spurs]) and Ewing was also not nearly as good with his back to the basket. Ewing took a lot of long jump shots for a man his size. His footwork was all wrong. He took more jab steps than drop steps.
Justs99171 2 years ago
Ewing sure did accomplish quite a bit, albeit failing to win a championship, for a man whose "footwork was all wrong". You still haven't posted the Bulls/Rockets record from 93-94 and 94-95. You also say, in a different post, that Jordan has lifetime losing records against Hakeem and Robinson. Where are you getting your information and could you please post it or link to it. Doing so would give you some credibility instead of looking like some loudmouth throwing out unsubstantiated "facts".

whiteboyoffthelake 2 years ago
Jordan,Armstrong,Grant,Pippen,Kukoc were in their prime at that time. The Eastern Conference was a bit better than the West in overall teams. (The Bulls man-man were better than the Rockets) Jordan in the finals against the Rockets would of had tremendous highlights. Pure fact. The stats on each player are much superior on the Bulls in that era. The Rockets would of gone crazy trying to figure out how to guard Jordan. I've played this scenario in my head about a billion times.lol
hushg2000 2 years ago
You haven't played any scenario. You're full of shit. Vernon Maxwell guarded Jordan tight and forced him baseline, into Hakeem. This worked. There were three teams in Jordan's career that could deal with him. The Rockets were one of them. The PURE FACT is that Jordan has lifetime losing records against David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon.
