Yes, but they would have had to fight like hell for it


I cant remember how many seasons was MJ out for? 1 and a half or 2 and a half? shite they may have won 7 or 8. It really is hard to imagine them not winning that many in a row. It was clear that Jackson was top notch considering what he did there and in LA. Jordan was still on top of his game when he retired from the bulls the second time, Pippen was still great, and all the role players were still good. Krause just fricked the whole thing up IMO.

He was out all of 94 and half of 95. He came back around March of 95, but it took a minute for him to get his legs under him.

96 they had the team that won 72 games I believe, but Shaq saw the handwriting on the wall for what was to be of the Eastern conference and went to LA ( for marketability and money as well), but still wouldn't beat Kemp and Payton, and he wouldn't have beaten those Jazz teams either. IF he had stayed in the East, his path would have had Jordan (nuff said) but not as many other championship caliber teams to beat.

And yes, Krause was responsible for the destruction of the Bulls.
