    Jordan retired for 1 1/2 years, Houston Rockets bring home the gold twice.

    Would the Houston Rockets have been able to defeat the Chicago Bulls avec Michael Jordan?

    I ask because i'm bored at work and because i didnt follow basketball back then.

    Hmm...You need to prepare to get a lot of flame or even get banned on this website. ;)

    I didn't follow NBA back then. But I heard from this board that back then Houston ALWAYS gave bulls a hard time. I heard Vernon could defend MJ as well as anybody else in the league. And you know Center was Bull's weakest position while Hakeem was at his prime. Also back then it's illegal to have the defense Yao sees pretty much every night.

    My guess? Houston would probably win at least one final against bulls. Just my two cents.

    Before you post something like that, I suggest to you do some research on the win-loss ratio of MJ's Bulls against Dream's Rockets. Then, you can also google a little bit about MJ's comment about matchups etc. Maybe then, you can answer that question by yourself.

    Here is a better question. Would the rockets have 2 championships or 6 if they had drafted Jordan instead of Dream?

    Lock it up.

    you come in here and start to rain on the 2 championships that the Rox thoroughly earned and you want to call me a scrub? You think that 7 game series on the Knicks was a cakewalk? Or that it was any wonder that we thoroughly and brutally took Orlando to the woodshed? Please, after Clutch bans you, come back and try to not be so silly.

    Do you comprehend what i wrote? It was a question. I'm a houston rockets fan, i just don't know whether they would have lost or beaten the bulls at their prime. You act as if i slit your mother's throat. Calm yourself.

    wth. slit mother's throat? :rolleyes:

    How long have you been a Rockets fan? maybe if you were aorund in the 90's, you'd understand why people don't want to see this question. We've heard it WAY TOO MANY TIMES.

    I don't understand the "other" option. Either we win 2, we split, or the bulls win 2. What does "other" mean?



    BTW, I voted "other"
