Glorious

I just wanted to share my delightful ESPN NBA playoff simulation. I must admit that the center image gets me slightly aroused. http://espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/predictions

Derrick Rose Throwdown

Worthless Memoribilia

As many of my friends are aware, I am an avid collector of Bulls memorabilia. Today I'd like to share some of my most shameful pieces, and the stories behind them...

Exhibit A:

Marcus Fizer

I am the only American who has framed Marcus Fizer's autograph with his basketball card. I'm also one of seven Americans who has requested Marcus Fizer's signature.

That is a lie. My friend Pedro got this one for me.

Back in our high school days, my friend Pedro and I were employed at the Northbrook Petsmart. Luckily for us, Marcus Fizer, instead of working on his post game, would come in and shop for his dogs. Luckily for me, Pedro had the nerve to bother customers for autographs and give them to me. God bless him.

* In 2000, "Fizer" became a swear when my friend Dan accidentally said "fuck" and "schizer" concurrently. It is one of my most heavily used swear words to this day.

Exhibit B:

Mike Sweetney

Mike Sweetney. "#50 God Bless"

The Sweetney story is an interesting one indeed. The Pedro character from the previous tale and myself went to a Bulls vs. Celtics game one evening. It just so happened to be Sweetney's best game as a pro (I have no idea if he had a better game as a Knick but I doubt it and I'm too lazy to check) with 24 points and 7 rebounds on 10/13 shooting.

So the game ends and we wind up at the Deerfield Brunswick.

I don't remember if Pedro noticed or I did, but guess who was bowling a few lanes over...

Why it was Mr. Michael Sweet Tits Sweetney. Once again, captain Pedro greets and collects an autograph. Glad I had my ticket handy.

Exhibit C:

Kornel David

Cant believe I added an extra "l" on the image.

I was fortunate enough to meet the "Hungarian Jordan" back in 1999 at a my aunt's home. Thats how small the Hungarian community is in America apparently. There has been one Hungarian player in the NBA and I met him at my aunt's house (Oh, my family is Hungarian by the way...). Hilarious picture of him, my dad and I to come once I locate it. In 109 games he averaged 5.0 ppg, and 2.8 rpg. Too much palinka I'm guessing.

Exhibit D:

Tyrus Thomas

Notice that I have two autographs. That is because no one showed up at this particular Jewel on this particular day that Tyrus was doing his signing. And I've never seen a player so miserable to be anywhere. I drink an awful lot of Bulls Kool-Aid and I thought Tyrus would be the next Shawn Kemp but F that douche bag. I'm glad that he's averaging 5 ppg for the Bobcats. Biiig douche bag.

Honorable Mention: I have Rusty LaRue and Eddy Curry autographs hiding somewhere in my basement or attic. The Eddy Curry one is on the back of a high school hall pass, thanks again to Pedro and Petsmart.

D-Rose Makes Brandon Jennings His Bitch

Here's video of Derrick Rose's game winner over the Bucks Wednesday night, giving the Bulls their eight victory in a row. T'was a glorious finish indeed.

Which brings us to the obvious choice for...

Stacey Quote of the Game: 3/7/12: "Let me step back and kiss myself, MVP time, Windy City Assassin!"

Up next for the Bulls: Six straight home games! (ORL, UTA, NY, MIA, POR, PHI).

Silly Brandon Jennings...

CSN Image of the Day

In response to Derrick Rose's reference to the Will Farrell movie, "Semi-Pro", last night, CSN showed us what he'd look like as a member of the Flint Tropics.

Noah's First Trip-Dub

Joakim Noah has averaged 11.8 ppg, 11.4 rpg, 2.7 apg, 1.4 bpg, on .569 shooting the last month and on Wednesday against the Bucks, he went apeshit.

Noah was the first Bulls center to have a triple double since Artis Gilmore did so in 1977 (Thank you CSN) putting up 13 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and a block in less than 30 minutes. Not to mention he went 7/7 from the free-throw line.

Had he not taken the first month of the season off, he might have beaten out the almighty Roy Hibbert for the backup center spot on the All-Star team. Regardless, I'm sure he'll enjoy his four day weekend.

Dunk-O-Meter

Just found out that www.cbssports.com has an NBA Dunk-O-Meter- a list of how many dunks each NBA player has on the season. The intrawebs is crazy!

What amazed me even more is the fact that Mr. Carlos Boozer has a total of 13 dunks on the year, ranking him 81st overall. WTF? Omer Asik has five more dunks than him in half as many minutes.

If we wanted to see a bunch of layups and jumpshots we'd watch the WNBA.

Get your act together Carlos.

That is all.

Oh Carlos...

Dunk it foo!

BIG Commercial

Check out this awesome NBA ad featuring the Bulls. Laugh out loud I did indeed.

All-Star Reserves Announced Tonight

The day has finally arrived in which the NBA will reveal this years All-Star reserves. We already know that Derrick will be heading to Orlando as a starter, but will Luol Deng or Carlos Boozer make the journey as well? Boozer, probably not, but Deng sure as hell deserves it. If you haven't been watching the Bulls this year and need an explanation, I'll leave it to 7-time NBA All-Star Scottie Pippen.

TNT will announce the East and West reserves tonight at 6 pm CT, prior to the Celtics/Lakers game. Coaches turned in their votes for for 2 guards, 2 forwards, 1 center and 2 wild cards on Tuesday. Here's how I would have voted:

WEST

G: Steve Nash (Suns)

G: Russell Westbrook (Thunder)

F: Kevin Love (Timberwolves)

F: Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks)

C: LaMarcus Aldridge (Blazers)

W: Tony Parker (Spurs)

W: Al Jefferson (Jazz)

Close Calls: Kyle Lowry, Pau Gasol.

*I gave Jefferson the last spot over Lowry because I already had 3 point guards.

EAST

G: Deron Williams (Nets)

G: Joe Johnson (Hawks)

F: Paul Pierce (Celtics)

F: Chris Bosh (Heat)

C: Amare Stoudemire (Knicks)

W: Luol Deng (Bulls)

W: Andre Iguodala (76ers)

Close Calls: Danny Granger, Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Rajon Rondo

*I'd rather give the honor to a guy like Amare (or is it Amar'e now?) at center than give it to a scrub (in All-Star terms) like Roy Hibbert. And Rondo is overrated. I think he'll get voted in but I won't understand it. The 14-10 Celtics will probably still end up with 4 All-Stars...

Ya know, the Bulls haven't had two All-Stars since 1998...
