Pippen + Grant in 1993-94 had a better record than Pippen + Grant + jordon in 1992-93

[TheGoatest]

It is often pointed out how the 1993-94 Chicago Bulls only lost two less games than in their previous 1992-93 season.
But did you know that the only reason the 93-94 Bulls had a worse record than the previous season at all is because The Great Scott Pippen missed 10 games in the 1993-94 season vs 1 game in 1992-93, and Horace Grant missed 12 games in 1993-94 vs 5 games in 1992-93?

In the 60 games The Great Scott Pippen and Horace Grant played together in the 1993-94 season the Bulls had a 44-16 record (.733)
In the 72 games The Great Scott Pippen, Horace Grant and jordon played together in the 1992-93 season the Bulls had a 51-21 record (.708)

The 1993-94 Bulls were a true team that played proper team basketball. Their only sin is that they didn't have a player who was worshipped enough by Stern to instruct the refs to make sure the Bulls got through in the playoffs like in the previous and upcoming seasons:

We all know Pippen was a GREAT Player and Grant a very good player.

Pippen and Grant totally upgraded their play in 1994 in a major way but the Bulls also upgraded their role players greatly with the addition of Kerr and Kukoc. You may think Kerr and Kukoc were small fries but for the Bulls, they were huge additions.

For example, the Bulls won 67 games in '92. So why did they only won 57 games in '93? I believe one of the main reasons (other than fatigue), was that John Paxson completely fell off the wheel in the regular season and there was no decent replacement for him. Adding Kerr in '94 hugely alleviate that problem and adding Kukoc also alleviate some of the scoring hole that was left by MJ leaving.

BJ Armstrong filled Paxson's role pretty well. Kerr was added on as an off the bench 3pt threat. Armstrong was the starter, he was later let go because the Bulls needed bigger guards to match up with the Magic, so Ron Harper was brought on and he became the starter even though he isn't a PG by nature.

BJ indeed filled it well, but then there's no one to fill BJ's role off the bench. Which was alleviated by Kerr.

Troll thread? The 93 Bulls had just come off back to back championships (MJ and Scottie also participated in the 92 Olympics). Not to mention the 93 team actually won a title lol. Say whatever you want about the regular-season, but that 94 team was ousted in the second round.

Apples and bowling balls.

How does your newly created alt's agenda that fatigue + more games played fit in your overall agenda that jordon extended his career mileage by sitting out multiple seasons even though he was completely healthy?

[Bawkish]

So?

2016 Curry+Klay+Dray GSW has better record than 2017 KD+Curry+Klay+Dray GSW

You sound completely deranged. What are you even asking?

You sound completely deranged. What the hell are you even asking?

And you sound completely like your other jordon extremist alts.
You implied that the reason the 1992-93 Bulls had a worse record was because of long playoff runs in 1991 and 1992 + Olympics.
If you're going to admit that fatigue/playing more games in 1991 and 1992 makes it more difficult to win in 1993, then you automatically also admit that sitting out seasons/avoiding fatigue like jordon did in 1993-95 makes it easier to win in 1996-98. Except you hypocritically don't do that, and constantly try to have your cake while eating it too.

Wow, sounds like the Bulls were MUCH better without Jordan. Surely they won the title after he retired right?

Can we get a seperate Lebron and MJ forum? It seems its all these nutjobs are able to talk about.

This.

I cant imagine being this obsessed with players, lists and what others think about their favorite players. To me, it almosts looks like these people are getting paid to write all of this nonsense and to keep coming back over and over and over. Its just.. I can not imagine being like that.

[WhiteKyrie]

It’s just a regular season record
