After winning the 1991 Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers the Chicago Bulls went for the repeat in 1992. From this point it was a different story to the real NBA. The Bulls didnt show that domination in the regular season as they supposed to do. At least they could save the no 1 seed in the East just in time in front of the New Jersey Nets.
The first round against the Milwaukee Bucks wasnt a problem at all for the Bulls, Jordan led his team to a 3:1 victory. In the second round Chicago faced one of their biggest rivals in the East, the Detroit Pistons. In a tightly contested series the Pistons were able to defend the reigning Champion in 6 Games. One reason for that the defensive strategy of the Detroit Pistons, Jordan and Pippen couldnt find to their offensive game. Isiah Thomas played one of his best playoff series ever to seal the victory against MJ and his Bulls.
1992 NBA Playoffs
The New Jersey Nets along with Miami were the big surprise in the East that season. The Nets emphasized their rows with Elden Campbell from the LA Lakers. With Campbell, Coleman and the great Drazen Petrovic they even made the NBA Finals.
In the 1992 Finals the Nets faced the big favorite from Houston. All spectators expected a superior win by the Rockets, but a knee injury of Hakeem Olajuwon led to a very tight series. The Rockets finally won Game 7 of the 1992 Finals and Otis Thorpe was named Finals MVP.
1992 Finals
After the big letdown of the 1992 season, the Bulls are fighting to bring back the title to Chicago. The Bulls are on a good way sitting in the top of the Conference with a 24-6 record. Michael Jordan is playing one of his best seasons so far, he is averaging 32 points agame and he is close to score his 20 000th career point.
