Not Exactly A Fan of The Bad Boys but…
By MJS
I had to buy this set rigorously because it includes all six games of the 1989 Eastern Conference Finals amid the Pistons and Chicago Bulls. This was the “Doug Collins-coached/pre-Triangle offense” Bulls, before their championship dynasty. You could see precisely how this Bulls/Pistons rivalry was starting to grow. Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant were still too young and inexperienced, so the Bulls offense to a great extent relied on Michael Jordan. Nevertheless, the games were intense. The upstart Bulls gave the Bad Boys their greatest challenge in the ’89 playoffs. This set also includes the Pistons four-game sweep of the Lakers in the NBA Finals that spring. Detroit had one of the best backcourts at the time with Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars. Up front they had resident Bad Boys Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn, plus the steady veteran Mark Aguirre. And finally, the deepest bench in the league with Vinnie Johnson, John Salley, Dennis Rodman and James Edwards. Whether you’re a Bad Boy for life or MJ fan, you’ll want this set just to relive the classic confrontations.

Good Buy
By Adam W. Brown
I am big Celtics fan, but I felt compelled to buy this set to keep my library of great basketball going. I have all of the NBA Dynasty Series, and this set is just as good. Great action by Jordan, Magic and all of the Pistons.

Pistons 88-89
By EnergyWork
I didn’t begin watching the NBA until the 90-91 season so it was nice to be competent to watch these games for the primary time in their entirety(except one). Although I was never a fan of the Bulls, I enjoyed seeing this Bulls team right at the edge of breaking thru. I also enjoyed watching the Magic/Kareem Lakers even altho they were nearing the end. A couple of the ECF games were broadcast by TBS.
This is an 11 disc set that holds the 6 Eastern Coference Finals games along with the 4 NBA Finals games from the 88-89 season. Additionally, disc 11 holds the 88-89 season recap. A few more things I enjoyed were harder fouls not being whistled as a flagrant. Players getting T’s rather of thrown out after a scuffle. Also, occasionally opposing players would give a hand for a fallen opponent(don’t see that nowadays). Great set. Great memories.
