    I told you guys about these bulls fans.
    on top of that he's a wanna be bulls fan who's posing as a Tmacaroni

    the typical "Jordan doesn't lose" mentality was made up by the NBA.
    Where are all the highlights of Jordan losing to Detroit and the Celtics in the playoffs?

    Think about that. We know Dumars played good D on him, but you never see those highlights. And we know Boston beat the Bulls, but you only see Jordan's 63 point effort.

    Oh, what about 95? #45? where are the highlights of Nick Andersen outplaying his airness?

    And of course, you'll have a better chance of finding the Holy Grail, Arch of the Covenant and Aliens in Peru before you find the Rockets/Bulls highlights from the 90s where they got whipped and Max clamping down Jordan.

    I guess its hard to believe that one guy can guard Jordan.
    Like Kobe, who can guard him one on one??...ooops Paul Pierce did that

    I also think its a huge insult that the 1994 team had Hakeem in his prime, MVP and defensive player of the year.

    WILL ANY ROCKET EVER DO THAT AGAIN???

    Just because somebody said the Bulls would have probably won with Jordan makes them a rookie? Take a look at yourself and at least try to understand an outside perspective... biased peoples lol

    Here's an outside perspective...MJ played in the playoffs in 95 and lost to an Orlando team that we beat, make that SWEPT.

    And before MJ fans say that His Airness wasn't the same player at that point, I have a few facts to throw out.

    A "not the same" MJ in the 95 playoffs:
    -31.5 PPG (higher than the 96 and 97 champ years)
    -6.5 rebounds (higher than the 96 and 98 champ years)
    -.484 FG% (higher than any of the 3 titles 96-98)
    -.367 3PT% (higher than the 97 and 98 champ years)
    -4.5 Assists per game (higher than 96 or 98 champ years)

    Yeah, MJ wasn't the same player in 1995

    Ugh. This is the stupidest quote in this thread.

    Now, why would Ewing have played poorly?

    Exactly. They didn't lose because Jordan was rusty, they lost because with the defection of Grant, they had no competent frontcourt player. Rodman was the remedy for that... but we know from the SA series that Rodman was not a remedy for Dream.

    No one ever outplayed Jordan in any series. No one ever had as high a PER in any series nor did anyone ever average as much as him. In fact MJ's lowest series average ever was 27 ppg.

    Hakeem, T-mac and MJ are my favorite three players just so you know. Just because we are Rockets fans doesn't mean we have to be biased on everything.

    I once started a thread saying if we would be better than the Lakers next year and nearly half said no. Well I think we will be, but does that mean anyone who says the Lakers is a Lakers fan and downplaying us?

    :rolleyes:

    dude,

    1. i saw MJ play.. IN THE 80s and 90s
    2. I saw him lose IN THE 80s and 90s

    so your credibility based on Nike commercials and googling the stats you want can't even compare. Its also an unwritten rule that REAL ROCKET FANS HATE THE MJ EXCUSE... hench 2 threads were started.

    I know I'm wasting my energy writing this cause 1. you haven't read a thing I wrote and 2. you totally are in denial about what really happened in history 3. you aren't really a Rockets fan

    Your refusal to believe the Bulls team ever lost with MJ is one of the reasons no one here believes you except for that other rookie.

    yes that 92 team did make the playoffs. 92-93. another lesson for you to learn, NBA Seasons start in the fall of the previous year. There was a reason why the Rockets had a winning record against the Bulls, and IF YOU CLAIM TO BE A HAKEEM FAN, you would know that like you know water from air.

    No one liked ANY OF YOUR POLLS, that's why they sent you back to being a ROOKIE!


    Last time I met an MJ idiot like you, lets say we ended up not being friends.
    I have no idea how Clutch can be so merciful. you guys are worse than Jazz fans.

    To put it simply so that you understand. MJ never lost a series where he was on the team and they had the same record or better record or as the higher seed or with homecourt advantage. He was 24-0 and is the only top 20 player ever that has never lost a series while having a record that was the same or better than a team.

    Every other player has. Hakeem lost twice, Magic lost 3 times, Kareem and Wilt 5 times, Russell 1 time, Duncan 3 times, Shaq, 3 times, Kobe 1 time, etc

    They also overlook that Jordan's playoff scoring average was higher than normal that year. Jordan also got to sit out the dog days of that season and had plenty of time to get in shape before the playoffs started.

    Once again no one is talking about the '95 Bulls team. They had no defense nor rebounding in the frontcourt and really no scoring. This is mainly for the '94 argument, which there isn't one for.

    you're right cause

    Hakeem the Dream was the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, and MVP of the Finals

    You are a unique. you are a FAKE HAKEEM FAN

    Hakeem / Akeem fans knows his domination of all the Chicago Bulls teams since 1984. but again, you ignore this so there's no point.

    There's no point arguing with Rookies anyways.

    Again, we barely could beat the Knicks and it took a Hakeem block on Starks to do so.

    Bulls would have killed us just like the Sonics did.

    OP, the segment was clearly completely sarcastic. There is no need to get your panties in a bunch when they weren't even being serious.

    When you say "WE" you are talking about the Bulls cause we've already decided you aren't a Rockets fan.

    its confusing.

    What does that have to do with 1995? All that stat shows is MJ didn't lose when he had more help than the other team. That has nothing to do with 1995, when he didn't have a PF.

    Since you like stats, please find me the last NBA champion that was led in rebounding by their SF and SG. I'll be waiting......
