    Rockets were 6-5 vs. Bulls during their first 3 peat.

    Rockets team was more innovative and built to maximize Hakeem during 94 and 95 championships.

    Bulls lacked both Horace Grant and Dennis Rodman during Rockets championship years. Both Grant and Rodman were integral to championship Bulls teams.

    Although neither player was very effective vs. Dream. Ever.

    Rockets swept Orlando Magic team that handily beat Jordan and Bulls in 95.

    We had Mad Max who always took MJ out of his game. That, and the help D from the big fella.
    They had no answer for Dream inside.
    Big matchup issues for the Bulls.
    We dominated Chicago, and would have handled them, but for Seattle..and their zone D.

    Bulls went 2-0 and both games were won by double digits in the 96 season

    MJ is an over-hyped thing, is nba's product market fit during 90s, even affecting it's biz in 20s.
    Dream is a legitimate athlete.

    I really thought it was beginning of a dynasty.

    Dream and Sampson era - what could have been.
