The main reason the Rockets won it all in 94/ 95 was Jordan's retirement

This is old news, you really don't have to convince people here of this fact. Go convince Bill Simmons or something, he buys into the myth.

And to all taking the title seriously, PLEASE turn on your sarcasm detectors and/or just think about what the first post is saying.

 

MJ got to the ECF, and played that loaded Magic team. A Magic team that had the Bulls' Ol' Horace Grant who averaged a double double in the playoffs that year. Jordan played great in 1995 after "I'm Back."

Yes, he came back in March, but MJ never wanted to play the Rockets, and has said that they didn't match up well with them because of Hakeem. I think Drexler would have done fine with that match-up, and yes Maxwell would have helped, but Mario played tough enough D.

Kenny Smith stepped up against Penny, so just imagine what he'd have done to Harper (Played good D he'd probably would have had to guard him), and they had B.J. Armstrong, and Steve Kerr. The Magic were a really good team, and we swept them.

The Rockets, and Kenny (I think just recently said this, this year) said they didn't think they could beat them until after Game 1, and they stole the home court.

"Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion!"

 

Oh ok I get it. He was being sarcastic, and showed the 55 point game. Fair enough. I didn't think that he was serious judging from his past posts, but didn't catch the sarcasm, my bad.

:sarcasm meter working just fine.:

 

I realize this is an educational thread, but my instinct still says F^CK Y^O! =)

 

If my aunt had a d, she would be my uncle. Anyway no Bulls wouldn't win it all because Houston was the best team in 95/96.

 

What does Mad Max's herpes have to do with championships?!

 

I realize the regular season and the playoffs are two totally different animals...but I feel the Rockets would have done well against the bulls in the finals, maybe even won.
