Defensively they were about even.

Bulls held teams to 2ppg fewer
Rockets had a better FG% D by 2%
Bulls blocked 62 more shots
Rockets had 37 more steals

^^^Says the bulls had better interior D than the Rockets and only had 37 less steals while missing one of the premier defensive G's of all time (Jordan avg'd almost 3 at 2.8 steals a game the yr before)

>If the bulls outside shots weren't falling? The size down low
>would give the bulls fits.

Bill Cartright 7'1"
Horace Grant 6'10"
Toni Kukoc 6'10"
Luc Longley 7'2"
Stacy King 6'11"
Scott Williams 6'10"
Bill Wennington 7'
Will Perdue 7'

Not to mention Jordan was 6'6" and Pip was 6'7" and each avg'd 6-7 boards a game. So even if the shots weren't falling, they could board just as good as Hou.

LMAO at size inside when Dream was the only 7 footer worth mentioning on that roster. Thorp and horry were only 6'9" and Horry didn't even board that well. It was basically Thorp boarding and dream blocking shots. And trust me, if he got challenged enough, Dream would be in foul trouble.


>Also, the Rockets PGs would go ballistic on offense against
>the Bulls 1s.

So Kenny Smith and a rookie Sam Cassell were gonna beast better than KJ did the yr prior? Really? So allstar BJ Armstrong was chopped liver huh? So Steve Kerr wasn't shooting 41% from 3 that season huh? BJ wasn't shooting 44% from 3 huh? Paxson wasn't shooting 40% from 3 huh?

LMAO

C'mon dude. Just say you're a big Dream fan and you like the Rockets. Cuz you can't obviously have paid any attention to basketball the season in question or the prior season.
