Not wrong just depressing.
I’m sure every non casual fan already knows this lol
I’ve known Stephen for a long time since he was a commenter at Blogabull but the fact is being a die hard sports fan is inherently irrational. You’re putting your happiness into something that you have absolutely no control over. That’s true if you’re a Bulls fan, a Warriors fan, or whatever. If you don’t enjoy watching the Bulls on a game to game basis and hoping they win, then don’t. It’s simple as that. I still enjoy it, even if it hasn’t turned out the way I hope as much as I’d like lately.
Also he says they will eventually luck their way into a superstar but luck is what it takes for pretty much every team, except for maybe the few glamour markets which Chicago has never been (Jordan and Pippen were both drafted). A team can tank to slightly improve their chances but it guarantees nothing and plenty of superstars aren’t high lottery picks which means they are gettable by any team who wants them enough.
The Applebee’s of the NBA. woof.
I stopped watching the team after they fired Thibs. Completely rudderless. An owner who is cheap and doesn’t care.
I like how the examples of fans giving up are all intl fans. Nothing against intl fans but it’s not really the same thing. All the local diehards still go to games and watch.
Everything they wrote is true, and I hate it.
It’s hard being a Bulls fan knowing it’s not going to get better because Jerry is cheap and dumb.
I just want to see a competently run organization.
It would be nice to see a team built for the modern NBA.
The Vooch trade has fucked us and keeping him was dumb.
We’re holding onto assets far longer than we should.
DeMar, Caruso, Zach, Vooch. It’s time to send them away and rebuild
I kept trying with them until the Rose years started to fall apart. In reality my die hard years ended when MJ and company left. I didn’t watch the ‘99 strike year and only kinda followed until I met a friend in college who was way into the NBA and got back in it again. But my Bulls fandom was never the same. Partially ‘cause I grew as little kid to first year of college with MJ’s Bulls and partially because Reinsdorf is the absolute worst.
