It was a return home for the Bulls on Saturday night, and a return to the win column. Don’t look now, but that’s 3 in a row at home, with six more straight coming. They improved their mediocre home record to 16-11, and could be on the brink of going on one of those runs we’ve all been waiting for.
Seeing the Suns, like a lot of teams, brings back memories; specifically for Phoenix, the 1993 NBA Finals. That win then, was the 3rd in a row for THAT Bulls team; 3rd NBA Title in a row that is. The three-peat was hard earned. I remember Charles Barkley accepting the NBA MVP award for the regular season, and thinking that somebody might have a little extra motivation in this series. How does 41.0, 8.5, 6.3, 1.7, & 0.7 averages suit you?
Yes, those were the series averages for the Finals MVP for the 3rd straight year Michael Jordan. The 41 PPG was only good for 7th best scoring average in a playoff series. By the way, 4 of the 6 series averages that were better, also belonged to His Airness. As usual, he would not let the Bulls lose. This series had a lot of great moments. Although the 3OT Game 3 of this series was a loss, it was memorable; the Suns saved themselves with that win after losing both home games to begin the series. MJ then poured in 55 in a Game 4 winner, including a memorable “and one” shot against that regular season MVP. With the Bulls up 3-1, trying to clinch at home for the 2nd straight year, the Suns pulled it out, and saved the city from riots per Charles Barkley; he was probably right…haha. That would setup the memorable Game 6 in Phoenix, and the memorable John Paxson game winner. Where were you for that shot? I was sitting on my parents floor watching, and when Paxson hit that shot, I jumped up and started banging on the front door; after a Horace Grant block, who also made the pass on Paxson’s game winner, the Bulls won the game, and the three peat was complete.

Ahhh, memories. Speaking of memories, I also remember my first EVER memory today, approximately 35 years ago. I remember painting a welcome home sign in the basement, as we awaited the arrival of my new born sister from the hospital. Happy Birthday Ari. As far as the maker of that shot goes, one of the biggest in Bulls history, John Paxson is still a very big part of the Bulls. As the 2nd half of GarPax, he has helped put together one heck of a Bulls team. This Phoenix team isn’t half bad either. They’re 2 games over .500, but unfortunately for them, that buys them couch seats for the playoffs in the West. Coached by another player in that 1993 series, Jeff Hornacek, they have some good young talent, like Eric Bledsoe and Alex Len (got him on my fantasy team). The problem is that the West is stacked, and they’ve don’t have enough to make the top 8. Out East, they’d be in the playoff picture for sure. Tough break guys.
As far as the Bulls, the only team we really care about here, they remain the #3 seed. We’ll be closely monitoring that situation the rest of the way out. One thing I’m happy about, is that they’re improving their home record. This was one of my biggest concerns heading into the 2nd half of the season, and so far, so good. Hello Bucks Monday night.
