I'm Upset, I've Started Drinking, and I am currently questioning my Bulls fandom.

Ok, Jimmy.  Here's the plan. I am going to get fired, Coach the
Twolves, and then rob those GarPax fuckers blind in a trade for you.

Ok, so it happened. Jimmy Butler finally got traded. This should be good right?? All Bulls fans have heard for the last couple of years is that we were getting a couple of those sweet sweet Brooklyn picks from the Celtics plus players. It was going to be a king's ransom! We were gonna start the rebuild and start it the right way! Holy shit we were all wrong... 



The Bulls ended up getting  a guy who had a garbage rookie season, an athletic freak who had loads of promise but happened to tear his ACL last season and a pick swap.


You read that right. The Bulls didn't even get to keep their pick at 16. THEY HAD TO THROW THAT IN TOO! WE COULDN'T EVEN MAKE THEM THROW IN THE 7TH PICK BY ITSELF! JIMMY IS THE BEST 2-WAY SHOOTING GUARD IN THE LEAGUE!


*Steps away from the keyboard, grabs another beer, and takes a couple deep breaths*


Ok, I have calmed down, and I haven't punched anything yet...


I don't even know why I am surprised. Since Michael Jordan retired I can literally only remember 3 instances where the Bulls didn't fuck up their draft.

 
1. Drafting Derrick Rose. Don't @ me, don't you fucking @ me. The kid won and MVP and was going to be the lynch pin of the only team that could derail Lebron's Miami Heat teams until he blew his knee out. Of course, it was dumb fucking luck that the Bulls even won this lottery with something like a 2% chance. If I remember correctly, they even seriously considered Michael Beasley at #1. In retrospect I'm surprised they actually picked Rose.


2. Drafting Jimmy. This one still hurts, but I'm counting this as getting lucky as well. Jimmy was drafted at the end of the 1st round and was an after thou ght at the time. We were just lucky he had a chip on his shoulder and worked his tail off to get where he is today. Thibs is also hugely responsible for his development. I'm done talking about this...


3. Drafting Jo Noah. I'm calling this one dumb luck too. Everyone hated this pick at the time. Well except for me, but I am a Florida Gators fan. Another guy who was a perfect match for Thibs and worked his ass off.


Usually The Bulls are doing things like trading 2 first rounders to pick Doug Freaking McDermott or trading the rights to LaMarcus Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas. To put the icing on the cake, we were able to turn McDermott and Taj Gibson (one of our few other decent picks) in to Cam Payne. Cam Payne was a DNP-Coach's decision for most of the end of the season.  


I'm pretty sure the only difference in being a Knicks fan or Bulls fan these days is that Bulls fans still adore Phil Jackson. Otherwise, we are both rooting for directionless teams who can't seem to make a good decision and just praying we will refresh twitter to have Woj tell us that our entire front office has been fired. I hear David Griffin is available! 


Whatever, I'm going to drink until I forget who Lauri Markkanen is...

Kryptonate Didn't Win, Superman Lost.

This emerald colored sprite is your 2009 Slam Dunk Champ. This doesn't bother me because of the dunks Nate Robinson did. His dunk where he jumped over Dwight Howard in the finals was downright epic, even if he needed to push off Dwight's shoulder and still rubbed his junk on Dwight's head. He's like 5'8 and jumped over a 7 footer...and then he dunked a basketball. I'm 6ft tall and I can barely touch rim with no one in my way. I also admit that the green jersey to make him Kypto-Nate to Dwight Howard's "Superman" was a nice touch. The thing is... Dwight Howard should have won, but he did his dunks in the wrong order. For his 2nd dunk in the first round, he brought out a 12 foot hoop, ducked into a phone booth, came out in his Superman cape, and threw in a Jameer Nelson pass off the backboard with ease. Between the theatrics and the actual dunk, this was my favorite dunk of the night. He got a 50 on the dunk, which is a perfect score for those uned...

Rays Shine; Advance to Series

Wanted to get a quick post in congratulating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on making it to the World Series. Hold on, one more thought, I just got word that Coach K is dropping the word Devil from the Blue Devils team name this fall in hopes of not bowing out in the second round yet again. And yes, that was the absolute worst post title I could come up with.

There are too many good video games coming out, and my wallet is going to hurt

By Anonymous -

With all the pre-ordering that my card is going to be suffering in the coming months, I feel like I should buy an "I'm sorry" card and place it directly into my wallet.  Not to mention my social life outside of video games. So long, all three friends I have outside the digital world. So long, whatever hours I considered sleeping in. Come to think about it, this may be one of those situations where spending money might actually result in me saving money.  Oh, what's that? You want me to come out with you and be in public and be around people I don't feel like being around and spending $5,000 on a poorly made house vodka and Red Bull? GET LOST, NERDS!! I've been trying to find some games to invest in which will occupy my time while I'm inevitably banned from communications because some turd reported me for WHOOPIN' DAT ASS in Rocket League. I broke it down to my top 3, with an honorable mention...because that's how awards are given out nowadays...
