What's crazy is the next season bulls almost won 70 and lost the last game of the season cuz starks puss ass hit a late 3 and the bulls lost at home to go 69-13

I'm not sure considering that was an expansion year. Grizzlies and Raptors both were in their first years in 95-96. The record was impressive, I can't agree with saying it's a unanimously a bigger accomplishment than a 33 game win streak (winning for over two months) considering both were only accomplished once.

Raptors beat the bulls that year and in another game jordan had to hit a step back jumper with like 30 seconds left to give the bulls the lead.It aint like the expansion teams were getting ran over.Magic beat the bulls that year too

I think if the Heat stay healthy and truly put their minds to it, they'd have a shot at doing it next year, especially if they end up signing Mozgov or Dalembert and some other veteran shooter that you know will end up taking less money.

If these dudes weren't sleep walking at the beginning of the season, we'd be talking about them doing it right now. :wow:

I think Memphis would be their toughest matchup.

Naw there is a reason I said San Antonio would give the Heat their $. Memphis would be a challenge no doubt but I can see them in the Finals as a team thats "Just happy to be there". I think Spo would outcoach Hollins.When Parker comes back best believe Spurs are gonna be focused.They can push the Heat to 7 games :ehh:

I think motivation and foresight will be a bigger issue than anything. Beyond that I am pretty sure we have seen our last full season of all out effort and health from Mr. Wade.

If the Heat win out the rest of the season and sweep the entire playoffs >>>>>> 96 Bulls and it's not even close

So we're predicting now?

I thought Wade was supposed to be done in November?

I never said he was done. I just don't think we'll see him give a full season's worth of effort ala 08 again. With Bron and Bosh around there really isn't a need for it. Then when you consider his age and the way he plays it's probably not a good idea for him to try.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?

I don't know, his game is completely different now, he's like an undersized PF in how he gets his offense. He gets to the rim, but not like he used to, dude is hitting hook shots and floaters in the lane off post ups instead of just beating people off the dribble. It's really odd to see him post up guys taller than himself, but he's been extremely effective with it now.


He will be effective for as long as he continues to work on his jumper, I think he's making a nice transition away from slashing and how his game was all quickness based.

:heh: So all they gotta do is win 50+ games in a row including going undefeated in a 16 game playoffs. We all know there is now way this happens so why even suggest it. It's like saying "If Dwight puts up 35 and 15 for the next decade and 40 and 20 in the Finals over the course of a 5 peat then he's better than Shaq and it's not even close".

It's possible, is it not?

I'm just saying, IF it happened, then in my opinion, that would put them beyond that Bulls team regardless of their overall regular season record.

He didn't start doing that until February though. :heh: I am not questioning his ability I am questioning his health and in turn his ability or desire to do it for a full season. He is clearly healthy now and giving effort every night, which couldn't be said earlier in the season. Bron and Bosh could easily carry the squad to 55-60 wins with a fraction of Wade but they have no shot at 70 unless they have this Wade for an entire season. I don't think we'll ever see that again. Certainly wouldn't mind being wrong though. History is fun to watch. :ehh:

so why didn't any other team win more than 65 games except the bulls with all this "expansion" in the league

:mjpls:

Plus the bulls lost to the expansion raptors
