Boogua Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) Jordan averaged 31+ on 48% shooting against Orlando. They didn't have Horace. A guy that was severely underrated as a Bull. That's why they lost. Jordan averaged 4 turnovers per game in that series. He had 8 turnovers in a 3 point loss. You have your opinions, I have mine. Jordan was usually much better with the ball. His o rating was its lowest ever in the playoffs. His d rating was his third worst ever and the worst after 1987. Horace might be the reason, but Jordan still wasn't the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 26, 2014 -> 10:09 PM) lmao. You're getting worse and worse. You just can't act like '95 never happened because it's convenient. Yes, Jordan was fresh off of baseball. But they lost. And if you look at Jordan's numbers against Orlando, they were very similar to the numbers he put up pre-baseball. You know who killed the Bulls? Horace Grant. He averaged 18 and 12 on like 65% shooting. The Bulls had Kukoc, Corey Blount and I think Larry Krystoviak (I know I spelled that wrong) guarding him. Not even Jordan can win without at least a competent pf. Get off of LeBron's nuts and remember actually watching the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, MJ was pretty damn good in that series. Orlando's frontcourt was the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just disregard all the numbers that suggest he wasn't the same. Got it. I'll agree that Jordan still played well, but I'll side with the numbers that suggest he wasn't at the level of dominance he was at in every other playoffs he's played in.

First you throw out an individual game (game 1) now you're talking about playoffs as a whole. in the ''95 playoffs, Jordan averaged 31.5 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 4.5 apg, 2.3 spg, 1.4 bpg, 48% shooting, 37% 3pt shooting. They had no pf to speak of. That's why they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they still took Orlando took to 6 games with a subpar mike and no power forward. Sure, if they had a better power forward they probably win, but if they have 93 or 96 mike even they have a much better chance of winning. Not saying they would win. And I was throwing out game one as just an example. Using his whole playoffs and even his 17 regular season show that he wasn't the same. Every single advanced statistic supports that. I know you don't want to agree because you want to trivialize Jordan for some odd reason, but the statistics are there...

Heat about to do something Jordan's Bulls and Shaq/Kobe Lakers never did: 4 straight trips to the finals. I can't believe I fell for the, "well, it's just too damn hard to get to the finals 4 times in a row" bulls***. What is the big deal about going to the finals and losing. i thought you were only about titles? MJ never lost in the finals.

You're implying that 4 straight trips to the finals isn't a remarkable accomplishment because they lost that first year? Only a dumb, homer, try-hard Bulls fans would even suggest that. And who cares what MJ would do with this team? I didn't say a damn thing about MJ vs LeBron or how 4 straight trip to the finals makes him better or the Heat better than the Bulls.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Pretty funny how J4L is pretty much the only guy I know who watched both Jordan (allegedly) and James and thinks James is the better player. I talked/chatted with fans of other teams (Knicks, Lakers, Celtics, Heat, Cavs etc) who watched both players in their prime and almost universally they say Jordan was the superior player. Making it four straight on itself is an impressive feat but I'm pretty sure that if you put Shaq/Kobe Lakers in the EC in place of this Heat these last four years, they also get there four straight. Who's gonna stop them? The Lakers had great competition, the Spurs, Kings and Blazers were better teams than any team this Heat have beaten in this four year span. And are we just going to ignore that the reason Bulls never made it four straight was because Jordan retired and then Jerry was to cheap to keep the dynasty going? But whatever, da Heat are da bess! Make way in that bandwagon! I'm jumping in! Edited May 27, 2014 by MexSoxFan#1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBron's Finals stats averages are inferior to his RS stats...meaning, MJ elevates his game in the Finals, James has a tendency to underperform. So who do I take? The guy who is 6-0 in the Finals never even needing a f*cking gm 7 or the dude who was one miracle Ray Ray trey from being 1-3? I'd take the sure thing but that's just me...
