The Bulls title runs were no flukes, but they never get recognized for one HUGE break they caught along the way; no significant injuries in any of their runs. The Celtics, Sixers, Lakers, and Pistons all had titles left on the table during their Finals runs because of injuries. The Bulls were talented….and blessed with good health.(

Bulls ultimately finished the '95-'96 season (playoffs included) with the better record too. Their 87-13 record that season is absurd. Perhaps even more absurd, they backed it up in '97-'98 with what would have been an all-time record tying 69-13 regular season, and an 84-17 record including the playoffs, if not for the previous season already breaking the record.

Bulls in 5. Pippen guards Iggy and helps defend everything else, Harper guards Curry, Jordan guards Klay, Longley guards the paint, Rodman guards KD. Curry puts up his numbers, KD works hard to put up numbers but does. Everyone else is a non factor. Curry can't guard anyone. Draymond stays in foul trouble. Iggy stays in foul trouble. Longley has a double double against Dray or Looney. Plus Kukoc comes off the bench. Warriors can't play man to man defense. If they play a zone the Bulls kill them inside. Bulls played man to man and kept three point shooting teams that year under 100 points. So yeah. Bulls in 5.

The bulls would not have been able to guard 3 players that can drop 50 lol just stop. The bulls in the 90s never had to face a stacked team like the 80s celtics or lakers.

A mid February game, two playoff bound teams, regardless of the outcome of this game. Really nothing to play for. Today, some of the stars would sit out a game like this for “load management.” These players balled out like it was the 7th game of the finals, every night. That’s why no one will ever be like Jordan, who brought it every. Single. Night. Didn’t matter what month, the opponent, high stakes game or low stakes, he looked to destroy you every game. And he made his teammates do it too.
