Maybe.

Re: Had Jordan not retired the first time do you think...

Would have been a very interesting match up in '94 and '95 if it was Chicago vs. Houston.

Houston may have been able to win one of those years if they had home court advantage. The Dream woulda just destroyed the Bulls down low.

If the only thing the team had was Dream, then I doubt it. No one man can win a series.

I seriously think so because Jordan was just getting smarter and better, and Pippen led the bulls by himself to the playoffs, so that says something.

Too many other intangibles involved. We know the NBA can be like a soap opera at times. Could they have kept all the role players? Injury?

I will admit, it would have been interesting to see.

No doubt in my mind that they would had won 8 straight, Drexler couldnt guard jordan when they play in the finals of 92 and i dont think he would had been able to in a series with HOU and CHI, I also think penny would had never been able to contain MJ and he would just light them up and get other involved in a way pippen couldnt

The 94 Knicks team would beaten the Bulls in 94 and The Rockets would beaten in 1995 if they even would gotten pass the Magic that year..

My thoughts exactly. And its not because I'm from chicago. Nobody could stop the Bulls in the 90s. We got even with the Knicks and the Pistons with a Orlando team hanging on the back of our heels. We could of beat any of those teams in a best of 7. I mean, it says alot when you come straight from retirement and win another championship like that 2 year hiatus never even happened. That says alot.

Yeah I could maybe have seen that, and I'm a huge Rockets fan, as a huge Drexler fan, but we are talking about Jordan in his bulls years, I'm not sure if God himself could have beat Jordan and the bulls if Jordan didn't leave.

If God had Big Shot Bob on his team maybe he would!

Only if the Bulls triple-teamed God and left BSB open.

You funny. Well the Knicks did beat the Bulls in the playoffs in '94, but it took them 7 games to do it, with home court no less. For some reason I think a particular #23 would have made the difference in that series. In '95 they lost to Orlando in the playoffs and it took the Magic 6 to do the job. Once again Jordan would have been the difference maker in tha series.

'94 would have been Houstons best chance to knock off the Bulls because they may have had home court, and I stress may. Houston had 58 wins and the Bulls had 55 wins that year, but I think Jordan probably would have pushed the Bulls over the 60 win mark thus giving them home court. In '95 they had the same win total with 47, but Jordan would have been worth at least 5-8 more wins which would have given the Bulls home court that year as well.

There is no doubt in my mind that the Bulls would have won 8 in a row had Mr. Jordan not decided to try and learn how to hit a curveball.
