• I'm so disgusted right now. The Bulls can not do anything with those fuckers from Detroit. They looked awful in game one and looked so pissed after losing.............no, after getting their asses handed to them. So, what happens in game 2, they look almost as bad and don't stand a chance. Now as you probably know, I HATE the Detroit Pistons with ever fiber of my being. That being said, they are a great team and much better than the Bulls, inspite of the fact that the Bulls won 3 of 4 during the regular season. This is the playoffs and things are always different in the playoffs. The Bulls look nothing like the team that beat Miami, the defending champs, in the first round. I expected the Bulls to lose to the Pistons, but I assumed they would at least be competitive and interesting during the series. At this point, they don't stand a chance. Now I know things can be different once they get home, but they still have to win a game in Detroit to win the series and after seeing these first 2 games, I can't see how they are even going to be close if (and this is a very BIG If) they manage to take the series back to Detroit. I know fans of other teams probably have no sympathy (not that I'm asking for it, because I'm not) for us Bulls fans, seeing as the Bulls won 6 championships in the 1990s. But, that doesn't mean I still don't want to see my team win. I still root just as hard for them and live and die with them regardless of what they have or have not won. I make no secrets, I want the Cubs to win a World Series more than seeing the Bulls or Bears win a championship, but I still burn for the Bulls. The best way to explain it is that its an investment, you invest so much time and hope into a team and the reward is when (and if, especially in the Cubs case) they win it all, that is the big payoff. And when the Bulls lose in the playoffs, especially to a team I hate as much as the Pistons and especially the way they lose, its very frustrating. I always say I would rather my team lose a close, heartbreaking game than get blown out as if they didn't deserve to be there. Sure, a heartbreaking loss is tough to swallow and frustrating, but losing by thrashing is tough too. I just kept waiting for them to go on a run tonight and take the lead or at least make it interesting, even though I knew that it was never going to happen. The point is, I still had hope. After the disaster of these first 2 games, I have little hope for them winning this series.
