    if you want to talk about what ifs for the Rockets.
    the most obvious one was what if Ralph Sampson didn't get that devastating injury against the Celtics that destroyed his career? and what if Wiggins/Lloyd didn't get drug busted.

    even Dream himself said that team was the most talented team he's been with.

    that dream whipped the bulls and destroyed the lakers.

    we'd be talking about Rockets 80s dynasty. Sampson was Kevin Garnett before Kevin Garnett.

    If you want to be biased then fine there's a long line of you on this board but don't pretend for a second the Rockets were better in the 90's. If they were we would have won 6 and not 2. The Bulls won six and the two we won Jordan wasn't really there. If we had won one while Jordan played then you could begin to argue but even then you would lose. The fact is if we were better we would have beaten them or even played them rather than getting beat by the f-in Jazz who in turn got pummeled by the Bulls.

    Was Jordan not really there when he scored 55 on the Knicks?

    Rockets would have swept the Bulls both years.

    Jordan actually did play the 94-95 season when we won the 2nd title. He came back to the Bulls in the last month of the regular season. I think if MJ had came back at the start of the season, they would have beat the Magic and played us in the Finals. Anyways, here is my favorite all-time MJ commercial:

    Wow, this commercial is so powerful. I feel the say way I did when I was a kid watching it. Why can't they be like that today?

    And who can forget the infamous Taco Bell Double Decker Dream/Shaq commercial?

    That team had absolutely no front line after letting Horace go to the Magic, and they never had a center to speak of in the 1990s. There is no way that Jordan's Power-Forward-less Bulls in the 94-95 season could have beat the Magic.

    So I guess MJ didn't average 32 points a game in the 95 playoffs???

    Yeah, he wasn't the same old MJ. His fg % was only better than it was during any of the 3 post retirement championships.

    In the 1995 playoffs, a "rusty" (sarcasm) Jordan averaged more points, assists and rebounds than he did in 2 of the 3 post retirement championships.

    Thanks for playing

    LMAO the magics wasn't really defensive stoppers and He played like a five gm series.Duh his averge more points.Wat if he advanced and they played Houston and someone limited him.His PPG would of went down.5-6 gms can't be compared to all those playoffs he played before.If he went to the finals in 91 then he had to beat 3 teams before he did which could mess ur stats up.Thats like how kobe averged like 40pts for a month, but didn't averge for his whole season.91-3 MJ had more speed atlethic ability.MJ 91-3>>>95-8.

    But they OWNED MJ's Bulls in '95.... and Houston SWEPT them the SAME YEAR.

    Let us make it clear...

    '95 Rockets>>>>>>>'95 MAGIC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>MJ's '95 Bulls (even though Jordan played BETTER than he did in other playoffs the next three years)...

    BTW - Those Wizards teams were awesome when MJ won with them in the finals... and someone must have stolen MJ's trophies from his first seven seasons... better investigate that ASAP!

    Huh i think going 6-0 in the finals made up for the 7 years and having 6 chips.

    Robert Horry was 7-0. What if What if What if What if What if What if

    Scottie Pippen never made it back to the NBA Finals

    There is no evidence that the Bulls had a winning record under Jordan vs the Dream.

    What if you rookies can spell correctly

    The Bulls had a great run, but if Houston would have gotten to the finals, their run would have ended there.

    Houston was a matchup nightmare for Chicago, just like Seattle was for Houston.

    No. We do. MJ's Bulls lost to Orlando. We swept Orlando. Therefore the 95 Rockets were better than the 95 Bulls. It really isn't hard to understand
