Scottie Pippen: Bulls core could've won at least one more ring if Front Office didn't force them out

[mastermind]

Of course not....

And that is why the Bulls probably wouldn’t have even made the finals.

Comparing those old players on the Spurs to the Bulls without any context is silly.

It was so densely scheduled though, that the players wouldn’t have had time during the season to rest. Guys were damn near playing every night. Look at the 2011-12 season, and they had an extra 5-6 weeks for the whole season to play out. Basically everyone was hurt by the playoffs.

yet scottie pippen played all 50 games that year playing 40mpg the highest of his career
toni kukock played 44/50 games avg 37 mpg 18ppg 7 arebounds 5 assists
rodman played 23 games with the lakers signed late but would have been same old dennis

and are we doubting michael jordan?

So you're telling me the
GOAT, the black Jesus of basketball had an overweight GM push him out the game.



And y'all like to clown LeGM

Let some cac try and force him out the game

An assumption based on absolutely nothing of course

Comparing those old players on the Spurs to the Bulls without any context is silly.

Comparing teams based on milliage and not on actual basketball ability is the only thing silly here sir...


As I said OLD ass Utah got them nikkas out the paint in 5 games

 

[MikelArteta]

A lot of four in five days. Then old dudes woulda been broken. Pippen’s back was already on fire.

and yet pippen played all 50 games 40minutes every night

 

[Sunalmighty]

They would have won. Short ass season, experience and retool the bench with young players to plug in the hole.

 

[Left.A1]

and yet pippen played all 50 games 40minutes every night

43 mpg in the playoffs

 

[MikelArteta]

thecoli dot com pippen couldn't manage
played all 50 games 4th in minutes

Old guys couldn't keep up and manage the grind yet old ass olajuwon and pippien played all 50 games over 35mpg ad barkley played 42 games avg 37mpg

it was a young mans season 4 games in 5 nights yet a old ass karl malone won the mvp

 

[mastermind]

and yet pippen played all 50 games 40minutes every night

and his scoring and defending dropped

 

[Sunalmighty]

And that is why the Bulls probably wouldn’t have even made the finals.

@ this conjecture

1999 was the lockout 50 game regular season, would've benefited an older squad like theirs, maybe they hold off the pack one more year and take out the Spurs

I totally agree. but what happened is phil said he would NOT coach if reinsdorf didn't fire jerry krause. and said he wasn't gonna play without phil. so once that didn't happen, pip was outta there as well.

reinsdorf was dumb as fukk for not siding with over jerry krause. you DO NOT side with a middle managment GM over the GOAT player and GOAT coach. who does these things?? the bulls of course.

 

[beenz]

Nah Timmy would've gave them that work. He was unstoppable in 99

Beat KG in 5

Swept the Pippen/Sheed Blazers squad

Swept Shaq/Kobe

this is MJ we talking about. the GOAT. I think they would have beat the spurs.

 

[MikelArteta]

jordan was on his "last legs"
yet he averaged 32ppg in 21 playoffs game the most out of the last 3 peat

Jordan who never missed a game since he returned from his first retirement

would be flabby and sick and out of shape in a 50 game season

 

[mastermind]

Lastly, when was Jordan gonna play?

He cut his finger badly and was probably gonna be out for a bit of time anyway.

 

[MikelArteta]

this is MJ we talking about. the GOAT. I think they would have beat the spurs.

brehs are really doubting jordan who was 6/6 in the finals
like mario elie would lock up MJ
and sean elliot hiding and battling kidney disease would put the clamps on pippen
