NBA On NBC - Pacers @ Bulls April 1996 Highlights

[@jaybrown7811]

I get more hyped to watch this then I do the NBA All Star game

[@peacelight9640]

Yes the good old 90s Classic NBA on NBC...Thank you!!!

[@jtremaine23]

That used to be great. It would get people hyped up even before the game started. Marv Albert made it feel like a movie especially when it was the Bulls vs Knicks. You almost forgot it was a basketball game lol.

[@Classicbasketballdvds]

I rem this like yesterday...I was soooooo pissed the Bulls lost this game, esp with no Reggie Miller smh. They really shoulda went 74-8 and undefeated at home. I don't know which lost was worst, this one or the one vs Charlotte a few games before this one. Also, this was the 1st time I heard that iconic distorted voice/organ defense chant late in the 4th quarter.

[@MEANDMYDAD2023]

Hard to say if this would have happened in any other year for Chicago. A couple of factors that they benefited from was there was so much parity in the eastern conference. Chicago and Orlando were their own tier, and then there was everyone else. Plus Chicago basically got 5 free wins off two expansion teams. So while Charlotte and Indiana minus Miller were able to win in Chicago the Bulls had very little to play for except the all time wins record of 70 while everyone else was jockeying for playoff positions and had something meaningful to play for.

[@Classicbasketballdvds]

I think they sort of took their foot off the gas towards the end of the season. @@MEANDMYDAD2023

[@jtremaine23]

Same here…I wanted them to tie the ‘86 Celtics home record of 40-1 and they missed it 2 years in a row. They finished 39-2 both years. My dad was a Celtics fan so he was happy about that lol.

[@Classicbasketballdvds]

that's crazy. thing is the losses in both years were soo close and they had all 4 games in the bag i felt. I believe the Spurs in the 2010s tied the 40-1 home record@@jtremaine23

no disrespect but if you ask me these elite teams are ranked in this EXACT order #1 1986 celtics #2 1996 bulls #3 1986 rockets #4 1986 lakers #5 1996 sonics #6 1986 bucks #7 1996 jazz and #8 1996 magic

Man I Miss NBA on NBC the bulls and Marv Albert

[@Melbester9]

NBC is preparing to get the NBA TV rights back this year. NBA TV deal expires this year. They want NBA on NBC back. NBA wants NBC back too. Pray we get NBC back for basketball games. They even want to do Sunday Night Basketball. Simila to their NFL coverage on NBC with Sunday Night Football.

[@chaunseybillings5381]

@@Melbester9 it won't be the same because that was Jordan and the Chicago bulls era the NBA just sucks today

[@chaunseybillings5381]

@@Melbester9 in the 80s cbs had Lakers vs Celtics and NBC had the Chicago bulls now it's just not marketing no more

[@Melbester9]

@chaunseybillings5381 Nah. It doesn't matter. The presentation of NBA on NBC is still good. For a new generation of basketball fans it will be cool to see that. I was born in 1994. I love NBA on NBC. Even if Marv Alber retired. They can bring back Roundball Rock theme and newer NBA intros with a updated scoreboard + new broadcasters since Marv Albert retired. It would still have that nostalgia. Plus maybe Magic Johnson can return to NBA on NBC like he did as a commentator. New generation of fans that didn't get to see NBA on NBC in 90s would be able to see that now. ABC has had the NBA broadcast rights for 2 decades. It sucks anyways. NBC needs to comeback.

[@Melbester9]

@chaunseybillings5381 CBS is good for basketball in 80s too but NBA on NBC was way better in 90s. Although CBS does a good job with college basketball games + March Madness. NBA on NBC was just real NBA broadcasting presentation at its professional level.

This game shows any team can get beat in a given night. Nobody outside of passionate Pacers fans thought they would beat the Bulls without Reggie Miller.

What’s interesting about the Bulls that year is if a team happened to beat them, they normally got beat pretty bad the next time they faced them. The Pacers won this game at the end of the season so they were safe lol.

[@pomerlain8924]

And also, with the Bulls having everything locked up and already having 71 wins, did you see any load managment? Were Michael and Scottie in street clothes? Hell, no. They were playing, treating this game just as any other regular season game, and trying to win it.

I'm shocked MJ shot that ball with 8 seconds left on the clock when he could've waited until the final buzzer, Bulls would've been guaranteed OT at the very worst.

[@DetroitLove4U]

Hand is part of the ball and MJ would always get those calls on the offensive end under that scenario that were far less of a contact from the defense. Personally I feel MJ got too many foul calls in his favor.

[@tylerball6101]

Travis Best was NICE.

[@pcorf]

A few future NBA head coaches out there. Mark Jackson, Steve Kerr and Fred Hoiberg and a future NBA referee Haywoode Workman.

[@OrionOodama]

I read MJ was so upset after this game, slamming/kicking chairs and whatnot in the locker room. Perhaps for many reasons. Indiana is the only team that beat them twice, with the recent (this game) without Reggie Miller. Second, he might foresaw 72-10 record is meant to be broken. It ain’t insurmountable. Exactly 2 decades later, teammate Steve Kerr has proven that, coaching GSW to 73-9, including 24-0 to start 2015-16 season (not winning it all tainted the record, even blew a 3-1 Finals lead). How I wish Indy faced Chicago in the Playoffs. Not saying the Pacers will win the series, but at least let them prove beating the Bulls twice is no fluke.

[@hmhm856]

I guess if we count the postseason as well, Knicks beat them twice (one in the regular season and one in the postseason) and the Sonics beat them 3 times (one in the regular season and twice in the Finals) Warriors blew a 3-1 lead against the Cavs WITH the Warriors having two home games. Usually when teams make a 3-1 comeback, they do it with having two home games. So that made the Warriors collapse / Cavs comeback even more unique. Other notable time that that has happened was in the 1995 playoffs when the Rockets made a 3-1 comeback against the Barkley-Suns And in the same 2016 playoffs, Warriors made a 3-1 comeback in the Western Finals against OKC, but the Warriors did it with the benefit of two home games. Also, the Bulls starters in this game against the Pacers played in limited minutes. So im sure that if they had all played their usual minutes in this home game without Reggie, that the Bulls would have won this game.

[@LutherBuilds]

The foul happened after the clock was at 0.

[@Fonz23]

Good win for the pacers… Can’t overlook the Bulls did rotate many bench players as well though.

[@Julian-yc4hn]

The Indiana Pacers were the only team in Chicago special season in 1996 that beat the bulls twice once in Indianapolis then in Chicago if the pacers didn't lose in the 1st round of the NBA playoffs in 1996 I believe that they would've not been swept maybe 5,6 or 7 games in the eastern conference finals had they met

[@mariobryant8803]

Phil Jackson laughing after the foul call by referee Hue Hollins, Jordan was super mad and the reaction showed it all. There were a ton of questionable calls by Hue Hollins (this one, the Scottie Pippen one in 1994, that one was questionable, now ya see why the Bulls couldn’t stand him, the Game 7 in Phoenix- Rockets got a bad call from the ref also).
