There's more to the game than scoring and being a superstar.
Even with your cherry picked teams (which don't even count BTW), they still don't tip the scales in your favor because the rest of the teams (an overwhelming majority), lean my way rather than yours.
and you said:
every single championship team has a strong bench. sorry. just not true.
just finding one team refutes your assertion.
glide you don't know anything actually. depth past the 7th man in the playoffs is often not needed. teams shorten rotations and many top heavy teams have won.
sorry. you attack me.....i attack something you post. and your post was completely false.

The 1980 Lakers had 5 solid players. But virtually no depth outside of that.
It was basically a team of 5 or 6 players. Thats really it. Outside of the 6, they got next to nothing.
Another example.
LOL
If you need to go more than 30 years to prove you don't need a good bench well...
BTW, there are more examples of championship teams with deep benches than not, it's a 48 min game, how many players you know can play 48 night in and night out and then in the playoffs?
Teams with deep benches...1980s Lakers, 1980s Celtics, Detroit Bad Boys, 90s Bulls, ect,...

I agree. But he said that every single championship team has a strong bench. this is false.
and made even worse because he had the audacity to call someone stupid in the same post.

Re: Any other Bulls fans feeling uncomfortable with the game 1 overreation?
Notat all. The huge victory did nothing but make me more confident that can win the series. I worried the Bulls would lose game 1 due to being tired, then they went and blew out the Heat, showing their dominance in the key areas we suspected would be issues for the Heat. Defending offensive rebounds, and bench play. Bulls crushed the Heat on both front.
Rose was kept fairly in check, but it didn't matter. That is probably the scariest thing for Heat fans. Rose didn't have a huge game and the Bulls still won by over 20.
People saying the series is over. . .yeah, that's obviously not true. But game 1 was huge. If the Bulls take game 2 by double figures, expect extreme confidence by Bulls fans and Heat haters.
Re: Any other Bulls fans feeling uncomfortable with the game 1 overreation?
Bulls got everything they wanted. Big game from Rose and Deng. Complete domination on the glass by Noah and Boozer. Wade and LBJ also had crappy games, some credit for the Bulls defense, but mainly just both of them (particularly LBJ) playing like crap.
The Bulls got 31 2nd chance points. At least half of those points were off easy putbacks from right under the basket. If the Heat want to win, they need to go ahead and keep 5 men on their defensive glass. Yeah, they'll have fewer fast break opportunities, but their fast break points come mostly off of turnovers anyway and they probably give up way more 2nd chance points than they get in extra fast break points if they don't send 5 guys.
I'd go ahead and play the Rondo strategy on Rose. Don't even play near him until he's within 18 ft of the basket. If he's on and hits like he's Dirk, so be it. You force Rose to become a high volume shooter while keeping him off the FT line and his teammates likely struggle to get involved in the offense (unless they're getting easy putbacks).
Bottom line again. The rebounding is the key to the series. If Miami can suck it up, focus on rebounding as a team, and keep the battle fairly even, then that reduces the Chicago offense to a one-trick pony which struggles to even manage 40% shooting. If that happens, they handily defeat the Bulls by a much larger margin than the Hawks did when they held their own on the boards.
