So the refs gift wrap game 1 for Dallas and Mav fan becomes optimistic?

Thank you for reinforcing my point. I should have brought that up as well.

Pre Pip

85 - first round loss
86 - first round loss
87 - first round loss

With Pip's emergence

88 - east conf semi loss
89 - ECF loss
90 - ECF loss

Actually you implied that Jordan missed the playoffs three times without Pippen. In 86 and 87 the Bulls lost to the Celtics, who went to the finals both years. They were down 0-2 to Boston both years, so the comparisons between Kobe and Jordan can still go on.

LAL Kobe.

It's sad that 21 Blessings troll is less trollish than he is.
