The Jumping the Gun Thread

To many people on here bitching. It's far from over. We still may very well win it all. Shit happens. Milwaukee is a good team with a good coach. Just because we dropped 2 games doesn't mean it's over.

No way!

Not to compare this team or their opponent to a historical one in any means but the '96 Bulls did drop 2 straight after building a 3-0 lead before closing the deal

in the finals, against a Sonics team that would be the best team in the league today

we are talking about the Bucks with not one guy shooting over 40% in the series, who benefited from the east being terrible, in the first damn round

Exactly, I'm saying that they can still close the deal..both of those teams were definitely better than today's bulls and bucks.

Maybe a more recent example the Knicks from two years ago

I 100% believe the conspiracy theory behind them dropping those two games in the 96 Finals.


Jordan wanted to clinch the Championship on Fathers Day.

I read somewhere that teams that went up 3-0 then the series became 3-2... are 6-3 in Game 6's.

I know the Knicks series you speak of is one... The Celtics-Magic series in 2010 is another.

History doesn't mean shit. This bulls team sucks right now. Milwaukee isn't great. The bulls just suck. History didn't stop the bulls from losing in 2012. Number 1 seeds don't lose to number 8 seeds.

Translation: Not to compare this team to a team that won 72 games, but I am going to compare this team to a team that won 72 games.

OH you know.. except they have 3 other times in NBA history.

1994 Sonics, 2007 Mavericks, 2011 Spurs.

The 2012 Bulls lost their Superstar, those other 3 teams didn't lose their Superstar(s)

No team in NBA History has lost after a 3-0 lead... Its kinda like the NCAA's 16th seed. Sure it'll happen someday, but thus far, it has not.

Every series is completely different. The whole sky is falling attitudes get so old.
