You keep making it sound like they’re an all time great team. They’re not. So you should stop. Or you could try to explain how those two wins are so convincing, oh wait you can’t. But you can post 8,000 memes about your boy Harden, and how (in his and your minds only) he should be in the running for his fifth straight MVP award. Or better yet post more nonsense from guys about trash talking MJ when they’re career losers, and the wins you love bragging about netted zero NBA titles.

I won’t disagree with Fowler, but who on that 95 Rockets team was gonna guard Jordan or Pippen? They gave up 25 ppg to Penny Hardaway so you can’t tell me Mike wouldn’t have torched them for 30+, and Pippen wouldn’t have got let’s say 22-25 too. Plus Mario Ellie damn sure isn’t scoring 16 a game when he’s guarded by one or the other of that duo. As for being a team of destiny I love how you fail to point out two of their four wins in the finals were by two points each. So it’s not like they smoked the Magic. Also (not that it matters) the Magic were coming off of playing Indiana for 7 games not the Bulls. And what does Hakeem making the finals in 86 while the Bulls were still a bad team prove? Did he beat the Celtics?

Where did I say Jordan played badly??? I said they’d have had home court (and thus not played Orlando in the semi’s) if he’d played the entire season. Plus his numbers might have been even higher if he’d been in his traditional shape. Yeah winning two games in Chicago against a guy playing only his 27th game of the season (the game six you brought up) is the same as beating a Bulls team at full force. Okay buddy. What a joke that is too. Clyde wasn’t worthy of carrying Scottie’s jockstrap (at that age), but yet they’d somehow beat the Bulls. You should be a comedian. Maxwell would’ve fought the entire Bulls team I’m sure, but that still wouldn’t have given the Rockets a title that year. And you’ve still yet to make one good argument for why the greatest player in the history of your team couldn’t make it to the finals any of the other years Jordan was playing a full season, let alone win a title during them. Oh wait there’s no excuse for Hakeem. Especially considering the 97 and 98 Jazz teams only had incredibly old Stockton and Malone.

So let me see if I have this straight. A guy that only won titles in the two years Jordan missed either all of or 75+% of the regular season had the “heart of a champion”? I won’t deny Hakeem is easily in the top 3 centers in my lifetime, but to try to pass that off is laughable at best. And he should’ve put up better numbers than Mike did in those playoffs. As I’ve already pointed out Jordan wasn’t at full strength or as prepared as he’d normally be. What great center did Hakeem have to dominate for those numbers when he was playing against Utah and Phoenix? And the Barkley part of the argument is silly. What was he going to do against Hakeem? Plus you’re leaving out the fact he had Clyde Drexler by his side which gives them more talent than Utah or San Antonio. Also I wasn’t trying to fit a narrative. I was stating a fact that the Bulls would have been a one seed if they had a full season of Jordan. How’s that deniable?

And??? Jordan hadn’t been training to play as he’d been busy playing minor league baseball for most of the season. If he’d played a full season instead of 17 games that series would’ve been played in Chicago for 4 of the games as there’s no way the Bulls are still a 5 seed (or behind Orlando period). But say whatever comforts you, and fits your pathetic narrative. What’s next a short essay about how Harden is somehow better than Mike, and how he and Westbrook could’ve won more titles than Mike and Scottie?

How can I get a spot in this fantasy world in which you live? If Jordan hadn’t been forced out of the league there’s no way in hell Houston wins either of those titles let alone both of them. Regular season records are meaningless too so don’t try throwing that stat you used a few posts down as proof they would have dominated. Hell they only went 1-1 against the Bulls teams that didn’t have MJ (94 and 95). That’s pretty damn embarrassing.

I know why they were given them, but that was still way more than either one should have received for their spot on the card (and considering WWE paid for Mike’s rehab before). Who said anything about them pulling the offer? My comment was more (and I’m sure this is how Vince McMahon thinks too) that if she’d been up front about it that they would have made a different offer to start with. I get WWE isn’t ethical very often, but that was still deceitful on her part, and she and Mike both had to know she’d get released the first chance they got for that reason alone.

Probably because the woman in question had given birth over 10 weeks before they released her. I agree it’s crappy they let Maria go, but honestly her and Mike shouldn’t have gotten seven figure contracts per year in the first place. Especially with her not letting the company know she was pregnant until after she’d signed the contract.

Oh for sure on both of your later two points. Scott Brooks should have never lasted as long as he did, and the Perkins trade was yet another in a serious of ridiculous moves. My dad (while he was alive) was a Thunder fan, and his main complaint other than Scott Brooks was their lack of wing depth. Every year until KD left he kept waiting for them to get someone worthwhile, and it never happened.

If only they’d been smart enough to draft Draymond Green or Khris Middleton. I know Draymond is a head case, but he’s still a million times better than Jones was. I don’t know what’s worse either the garbage signings or the steaming pile of crap they got in the Harden trade.

I can’t stand the Patriots at all, but if they switched to their old red jerseys instead of the navy blue ones that would be cool. Especially since this will be the start of a new era for them.

What if my favorite team is just as stupid? ? After all they thought hiring Jason Garrett to be their offensive coordinator was a good idea. Plus we still have the second dumbest GM in the league (only behind that moron the Texans still employ).

I don’t think they’d dare to, because if the options are take a pay cut, or there’s the door I’m sure he’d choose the later. Especially as he’d still make a fortune working for some combination of AEW/New Japan/Any promotions in the UK that survive this.

I didn’t realize that as one of the supposed “insiders” on the ROH forum I read was talking about them still being a couple recently. Now at least I know that poster is as big of a joke as I thought. ?

That stinks as I found her entertaining the few times she was on Raw. Hopefully ROH picks her up when they’re back in business considering her connection to the booker (and the fact they kept Mandy Leon employed just to please Delirious).

It probably was his only purchase that week, but overall he’s spent at least the amount I guessed. He’s posted about some of his bigger purchases on the forum I mentioned.

Dreamer is supposedly good friends with Ryder though, and was teasing him about it. Taker he wouldn’t say anything about, because he knows he’d be blacklisted for life at that point. Not that I think there’s a chance in hell of Dreamer making the WWE HOF anyways.

He’s a member over at Wrestlingfigs Forum, and Dreamer was guessing on the low end. I’m convinced he’s spent well over $250,000 on figures. Plus he better hope his fiancée doesn’t get released too or he’s really doomed.

Definitely not a joke. Here’s a link to a t-shirt that you’re bound to hate (as do I even though I wasn’t attending Mania either way): https://shop.wwe.com/wrestlemania-36-i-wasnt-there-authentic-t-shirt/010F2745B0.html?dwvar_010F2745B0_color=black#start=7

It’s good to see your MMA opinions are as weak as your baseball, and some of your basketball ones. ?
