1990 Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 - worst teammate play of all time?

We all remember (well those of us who watched this live) how awful Pippen was for this game (1/10) - but I did not remember BJ Armstrong going 1/8 & Horace Grant going 3 for 17!

If Jordan just had an average team alongside him that game he easily wins the series & beats Portland in the finals. Talk about not having any help.

Karl Malone had 22 on over 70% shooting, but the team only had 54 points. So his teammates scored fewer than Jordans. Coincidentally it was a finals game versus the Bulls.

[ShawkFactory]

Everyone outside of Malone shot 22%.

The Piston had a pretty fearsome defense. That's just one of the effects of it.

Yeah, how many points did Wade drop? Nice try. :lol

I always felt like David Robinson doesn't get enough credit for carrying those 90's Spurs teams the way he did.

According to Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan gave a speech to his teammates in the locker room after the Chicago Bulls lost Game 7 of the 1990 NBA Eastern Conference Finals to the Detroit Pistons.

“You need to be in the weight room and work on your games every single day,” Jordan said. “We can’t do this without you.”

[Nowoco]

The Bulls were basically blown out in all four games at the Palace. No way were they winning that series without home court advantage. Even without Scottie's migraine and the subpar performance of the other bricklayers.

Good post, terrible cast support on offense at least.

The 2006 game 7 between the Cavs and Pistons looks very similar for Lebron and his supporting cast.

In the book "Sacred hoops" (I recommend it to you guys) Phil Jackson said the following morning Scottie and Horace were already in the gym ready for next season. It seems they got the message.

I forgot Craig Hodges existed. 3 for 13? 2 points for Scottie?
This is even worse than his 6 pt 1998 Finals game 5 and the 8 point game 6. So much for "No Pip no chip". Horrible in the big moments.

When did he win a championship without Pippen again?

Don't forget the game 7 choke job vs the Lakers in 2000.

0/3, 0 points in the 4th quarter

Scottie was always a liability offensively at crunch time. No wonder Phil gave the shot to Kukoc.
