One of my biggest regrets as a Knick fan is that this series did not get to happen.

A big FUCK YOU to david stern and his rule book for this.

I seriously hope that they change the rule this summer, and honestly they should have changed it 10 years ago.

1997 Knicks/Bulls conference finals

C Ewing(pre-wrist injury) - C Longley
PF Oakley - PF Rodman
SF LJ - SF Pippen
SG Houston - SG Jordan
PG Ward - PG Harper

Bench - Starks, Childs, Mills Bench - Kukoc, Kerr, Wennington

I honestly like our chances in this series!!!!!!!!!!! 7 games for sure.. damn what if.. what if.

The NBA Robbed it self of a truely Epic series, and they continue to do so with this stupid rule

For the hell of it, I ran a simulation on whatifsports.com:

Game 1: Bulls 100 - Knicks 78
Game 2: Bulls 104 - Knicks 77
Game 3: Bulls 104 - Knicks 92
Game 4: Bulls 106 - Knicks 93
Game 5: Bulls 114 - Knicks 89
Game 6: Bulls 118 - Knicks 88
Game 7: Bulls 102 - Knicks 79

Which leads me to believe that whatifsports is evil... losing all 7 games of a 7 game series, wtf.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Yeah that rule is crap and it makes no sence since players all have different roles/contributions for their teams. The way it is now a bench warmer on one team may start a brawl with a star player from opposing team and they both get suspended i mean come on thats BS. Suspending teamates for simply running onto the court while something is doing down is the stupidest thing in NBA or perhaps all of the sports
