just that they didn't lose to time...they lost to Krause's little man syndrome. Thats it.

LOL what?

Pop is over-rated right today as a coach...he definitely wasn't anything to fear in 99. Dude was on the verge of getting canned most years.

98 wasn't a decline. Pip was hurt and played into shape.

The bulls beat the Spurs. In 6, maybe 5.

Duncan and Robinson would be a problem but look up that roster lol. You think the Bulls would have struggled with Sean Elliot and Mario Ellie? LOL LOL

Literally no one is saying it doesn't. But they weren't there yet.

Huh? Yeah the Pacers and Nets went after the Bulls were blown up by Lil Krause. So your point makes no sense.

The Lakers? The Lakers would be completely different had the Bulls stayed together.

Apparently its not, because you think the Lakers would somehow still be the Lakers if the Bulls stayed together. And you think Mario Ellie puts fear into the heart of the 6x champs.

Your mans?

Look, the lockout would have benefited the Bulls more than anyone. Extra rest + shortened season/more focus?


They definitely win in 99. '00? who knows, because the Bulls staying together makes LA AND Portland completely different.


So who knows after '99...but they definitely get one more in 99. Its really not much of a debate. At all.


Jerry Krause was a legit idiot. And Reinsdorf. That team has had like 3 decent or better seasons since. What a dumpster fire organization.

Jordan, Pippen, Phil deserved a much better organization.
