Houston Rockets: Why team would have beaten Jordan’s Bulls

The Houston Rockets won two NBA titles in the 1993-94 season and the 1994-95 season. But a lot of NBA fans put an asterisk next to those titles due to the absence of Michael Jordan in the league.

Houston Rockets fans have had to deal with this impugning of their titles since the return of Jordan led to the Chicago Bulls once again dominating and winning three more NBA championships in a row including having what once was the best regular season record of all-time at 72-10. The record has since been broken by the Golden State Warriors in 2016.

Regardless, this unfortunate sequence of events has lead to fans, Bulls fans especially, believing that their team would have won eight championships in a row had Jordan stuck around.

Of course Michael Jordan was great, and of course there’s no telling what would have happened had our two teams met. The years the Rockets made it out of the Western Conference the Bulls weren’t there. That’s just how it went.

And the chances they had to get out of the Western Conference when the Bulls were in the finals, we weren’t able to get it done, forever leaving the question mark of what would have happened had the two teams met.

Many dispute whether the Rockets could have beaten the Bulls but a further examination shows that had they matched up those two years, the Rockets certainly could have done so.

And here are the following reasons that would be the case, ordered very particularly to counter each argument that could arise from each reasoning.
