The difference is Mj took over and won and LJ forgot how to play basketball.

The difference is that that Bulls team was so stacked that it didn't matter.

thats what happens when you don't quit on your team and allow them to grow and go through ups and downs.

This. And they were playing a weak ass team

Tbf you have no clue what you're talking about. At one point during game 6, when MJ went to the bench, the Bulls team was the following:

Longley
Burrell
Kukoc
Buechler
Kerr

In the NBA finals!!! That was the team Chicago had on the floor when MJ needed a breather. Have a dollar. Buy yourself a clue.

You're a better poster than this. That Jazz team annihilated the Lakers in the WCF'S.

That's exactly what I thought of immediately when Kyrie was hurt and left. 1998 finals, cept Lebron couldn't pull it off.

That team is basically the Warriors or Spurs or Haws from this year, albeit much less overall talent... good/elite shooting at all positions except C. And in that position, a huge dude that can alter shots and grab boards. All unselfish, all know their role.

Certainly NOT stacked, make no mistake, but a very "modern" lineup, in an "unmodern" era. If the Bulls chose to rain 3s, like that lineup could, the Jazz would not have seen anything like it, and likely been unprepared for Ding up.

Pippen's injury problems began in Game 5. In that game MJ shot 35% and Kukoc was the leading scorer. MJ was magnificent in Game 6 but the notion that MJ was automatic to play that way in such a context is false. MJ also lost in the ECF without Pippen (Pip played only 1 minute) against the Pistons. In LeBron's case we are looking at only a few minutes in OT, although he did play poorly during that stint.

I'm talking about the finals idiot. Pippen went out in game 6 and Mj stepped up and LJ didn't.

Let's not overexaggerate and let's not jump to premature conclusions. It's the first game. Kyrie went down half way through overtime and I believe GS either had already had 4 point or 7 point lead. No one on Cleveland played well in overtime. So Lebron had about 2.5 minutes to will his team to victory. Now he didn't do so, and can fairly be criticized for playing quite poorly in overtime. But he can still turn around this series and win. If he does so, especially without Kyrie, then this whole thread becomes incredibly stupid and shortsighted.

GS is still the favorite and even more so with a win and Kyrie possibly injured. But let's not pretend that Cleveland has no chance. They have the best current player in the world, and that always gives them a chance.
