raptorizedguy said:The only nit to pick was the Bulls' consecutive losses to the Sonics in the Finals, but they were up 3-0 by then and seemingly bored with how good they were.
I remember that series. This was my first clear evidence that the fix was in even in the NBA. Let me elaborate. This Bulls team was the best team in NBA history they killed everyteam they met all season long and was on course to white-wash the playoffs until they lost 2 to the Sonics IN SEATTLE.
Game 1 (1996-06-05 at CHI) CHI 107, SEA 90 CHI leads 1-0 (Box Score)
Game 2 (1996-06-07 at CHI) CHI 92, SEA 88 CHI leads 2-0 (Box Score)
Game 3 (1996-06-09 at SEA) CHI 108, SEA 86 CHI leads 3-0 (Box Score)
Game 4 (1996-06-12 at SEA) SEA 107, CHI 86 CHI leads 3-1 (Box Score)
Game 5 (1996-06-14 at SEA) SEA 89, CHI 78 CHI leads 3-2 (Box Score)
Game 6 (1996-06-16 at CHI) CHI 87, SEA 75 CHI wins 4-2 (Box Score)
You see the Bulls never won a championship in Chicago so Phill, MJ, Pipen thought hmmm, we need to win a ring IN Chicago how can we throw a game and make it look like it was legit??
Here's how for one game in Seattle lets say Pipen and Harper was hurt and couldnt play, that would give Payton and the boys a chance to win.. Man this game was so funny and blatent I almost pissed myself. I remember Pipen was getting killed on defense by Nate Mcmillan.lol, yeah right
Mcmillan just came back from back surgery a few weeks before.
All of a sudden Harper goes off with a suspect injury and Pipen sits the same game with a mysterious ailment..lol
Anyways with Pipen & Harper sitting out this game in Sea they lose and at the ending of the game the camera zooms in on MJ who is just laughing to himself and looking up at the clock. So the Bulls were on course to go undfeated and win a ring and they lose a easy game in Sea and MJ's laughing?
I don't think so.
Here's the clincher, the next game all of a sudden Pipen & Harper play and have amazing games like they were never ever hurt. The Bulls kill Sea and win their first ring at home.
Phill and MJ wanted to win a ring at home for a change thats why they THREW that game in Sea.
I beleive this 100%
