How did Boston stack up to the Bulls in Michael Jordan’s prime?

How did Michael Jordan’s Bulls stack up against the Boston Celtics in his prime? We took a look at how the two teams fared against each other 1990 to 1998.

As the ESPN serial Michael Jordan documentary “The Last Dance” draws to a close, Boston Celtics fans will have noted a conspicuous absence of their beloved team from much of the narrative under analysis.

Those of us who were old enough to recall the sad shape of the franchise for the bulk of Jordan’s prime may recall the general state of affairs for Boston being among the primary reasons, but few of us could rattle off exactly how the team fared on a game-by-game basis in that era.

So, to that end, The Celtics Wire assembled a game-by-game analysis of how Boston did in each of the games it played against Jordan’s six championship-season Bulls.

Chicago won it all for three years running between 1991 and 1993, and then three more in a row from 1996 to 1998. We’ll look at Boston’s best and worst game of the season as well as the others in those seasons.

We’ll also cover the two years Jordan missed the finals in 1994 and 1995 just to illustrate, with the former season the sole full campaign missed by His Airness — incidentally Boston’s best season against Chicago of this stretch.
