WE don't know that. You can predict all you want, but that's all it is...a prediction. We will never know, because they were broken up.

The fact you blow off indiana, makes no sense. Again, they split the series with the bulls 2-2. Bulls won the division by only 2 games. And Indiana took them to 7 games in the ECF, and the only reason the bulls won is because Kukoc had possible the greatest game of his life.

They won 88-83. That is how close the bulls came to not winning their 6th title. So for you to blow indiana off and say they wouldn't have had the bulls number makes no sense.

Jordan was 9-25 in that game, and the bulls didn't look good at all in that series. Pippen was 6-18. Indiana did a number on both of them, because they had the younger and better team. They were hungry. But it was Kukoc going 7-11 and scoring 21 points to save jordan's 6th championship.And he shot 75 percent from 3. But know one talks about it...

The bulls had already shown some regression, and the short season would have probably hurt them than help them to be honest. The older you get, it gets harder to get going to and to close out.


Bottom line we don't know what would have happened.....that's really where this discussion stops. we agree to disagree.
