We all know how good and dominant the MJ era Chicago Bulls were, and an interesting question popped in my head. What NBA teams from the 90’s bulls era do you think could have won or had a chance to win if it weren’t for the Bulls? I know the Rockets won but Jordan was retired those years. So this is applying to 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998
1991 - Pistons over Lakers
1992 - Portland over Cavs
1993 - Knicks over Suns
1996 - Seattle over Magic
1997 - Utah over Miami
1998 - Pacers over Utah
So everyone would benefit a bit (Pistons having 4 straight finals appearances and 3 straight titles the most), but no team would come out dominating. Btw, no reason that the Bulls not being in the east would have any bearing on what happens in the West.
