The Bulls needed every ounce to squeeze by the Pacers. They weren't winning against this Spurs team.

Bulls win. Robinson wasn't as good as he used to be and Duncan was too raw to win a battle of will between him and Jordan at that point in his career. Plus Rodman would be extra motivated to stick it to the Spurs.

Lol you act like lebron and his teams never underwent full 7 games in either the ecf nor finals during his championship seasons.
Poor thing.

In that hypothetical scenario - 5 straight (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007).

Bulls would’ve won in 1999 as it stands if it wasn’t for the odd over inflated narcissism from Crumbs. That is the worst of the Spurs championship teams. And Bulls never had troubles with that era of the Spurs squads. God forbid Chicago re-tooled even slightly from 98 and with all that lock out workout / rest then they would’ve been totally fine.

Do you mean the Pistons who beat basically the same Lakers in the Finals the year before?
2003 Spurs were definitely the worst - a peak Duncan and bunch of INEXPERIENCED team mates (Parker, SJax, Manu).

the super old Bulls still would've won against a team led by past his prime, minimal impact Robinson and great but too inexperienced Duncan. The Spurs might have a field day in the interior, though. Remember, the Spurs beat an 8 seed.

It would have been interesting to see. Jordan, Pippen and harper would have had easy matchups in the backcourt. But Duncsn and arobinson would have been problematic for Longeley and an aging Rodman.

The Bulls would've beat the Spurs. I shutter to think how hard of a time 5'10 inch Avery Johnson would've had trying to bring the ball up and initiate the offense with 7 seconds on the 24 second clock.
Much like they did Magic, Hardaway, Stockton, and Jackson.

That's what I'm saying. Their matchup on the perimeter would have been really favourable. At the same time, Rodman was a shell of his former self in 1998. By 99, he was even worse. That would have been trouble because the spurs could have spammed Duncan postups.

Kinda hard to post up and run through the proper progressions with a few seconds on the shot clock. But that's exactly what the Spurs would've had to encounter.

1999 was a lockout shortened season, right? That benefits the Bulls immensely. Jordan, Pippen, Harper and Rodman rested and ready to go? Yeah, Bulls run the table that year.
