Bear with me now...
THE BENCH. Think back to the 1st Bulls 3 peat: Pre Rodman, Harper, Longley or Kukoc. How did they do that?
When MJ was on the bench It was just Pippin out there with the second team and they kept the game close and often out played the likes of Dumars and Thomas, Bird and McKale, Stockton and Malone and some VERY tough teams like the Knicks and Pacers.
That bench was truly a fresh 2nd team that played together in practice, not subbing in and out one man at a time. Just a couple of shooters and 10 fresh legs. Lord knows we got 2 starters that have missed more games to injury than any star in the NBA not named Zion or Simmons
If we can somehow keep Beale and Durant healthy for the playoffs I believe getting past Denver and L.A. is doable
