I can’t say it’s “Facts” but I definitely feel the same way. MJ a didn’t lose in the Finals.
He won 3 straight then retired, was retired for one Finals. Game back the next year not fully “Mike” but a game away from the Finals if I my memory’s correct.
Came back that next year “Fully Mike” and won 3 straight.
In my opinion they would’ve went to 8 Finals in a row and probably won them.
I know you guys never saw these games, but I’ll show you the work the Bulls used to get when they played the Rockets. And this is pre retirement full Mike so no fucking excuses.

And incase you aint hear me. Bulls 26 game home winning streak? Gimme that...
If you still didn’t hear me...
Jordans bulls were 1-5 against the Rockets in that first 3-peat and used to get that work repeatedly. Too strong inside. Bulls were a better team, but Rickets were a terrible matchup for them.
You not putting Bill Cartwright and Bill Wennington and Dream and not get roasted.
