February 11, 2017: Phoenix Memories

posted in: Bulls | 1

Yeah, I stayed up for most of the Bulls Suns game Friday night too.  Seeing the Bulls play in Phoenix, brings back a lot of memories…

The first thing I think of, and probably most Bulls fans, is the 93 title.  The site of the Paxson shot.  Yes, he will be forever remembered and loved for that shot.  Let me clarify, because I don’t want to be a hypocrite one day.  He will be forever remembered and loved as a player on those Bulls championship teams.  Now, the once hard nosed point guard for the Bulls, loved for his toughness and ability to hit the open shot, Paxson is running the other way.  Now, being linked with Gar to make the much hated GarPax, he’s is getting no love.  In fact, he is getting a lot of the opposite.  My how times have changed…

Another memory of Phoenix was the Derrick Rose dunk.  Yes, if not the best, one of the best dunks of his career took place in Phoenix.  Talk about another guy who went from loved to hated.  He’s the biggest reminder of the failure to win number seven for this Bulls franchise.  The window, that was once wide open led by this rookie of the year then MVP, is now all the way shut.  The Bulls are floundering in no-man’s land, while Rose finds himself playing for the one franchise that may be in worse shape than the Bulls.

What a train wreck the Knicks are.  And now, Charles Oakley is banned for life from the Garden?  Man, I used to love Oak Tree… the defender of a young Michael Jordan, he was awesome.  Then he was traded to the Knicks for bad boy Bill, and he became a big part of those physical Knick teams.  Those teams that took the place of the Pistons in the 90s during all of the big matchups with the Bulls.  All of which, except the Hue Hollins game, were won by the Bulls by the way.  Back to the Suns.

The final thing that comes to mind when I think of the Suns is Charles Barkley.  He’s found himself in the middle of a lot of stuff too lately.  These players today have too thin of skin; that’s the way I see it.  Whether on the court flopping around (did you see the latest LeBron flop, where he missed the dunk, then looked like he was going down a Slip’n’Slide sliding down the floor?) or whining to the officials when there is absolutely no case, off the court they are the same.  So you have some critics?  Get over it.  Play your game, and let the analyst do his job.  Good lord.

OK, where did we leave off.  Oh yeah… I think I did a good job distracting myself for a minute of the disaster the Bulls are.  I honestly thought they were going to beat the Suns.  With Wade and Butler both back, and one of their guys suspended, I didn’t see why not.  But this is the 2016-2017 Bulls…  worse than last year?  Not sure, but not much different.  If they make the playoffs, that will be a difference.  I’m not convinced they will, although 500 will get us in.

Yes, no need in going over the same old stuff every blog… fire GarPax, fire FredBerg, hope the Reinsdorfs sell the team.  Yeah, no need to do that.  I may have to start up a new feature about the Bulls or Jordan; I may need to go back to my happy place with this team, because THIS team, is not making me happy one bit.  And now, we travel to Minnesota to see Thibs again…  as if I’m not pissed off enough, I have to see the biggest mistake the Bulls made in my face again.  What comes to mind when you think of the Timberwolves?

    Without question, the 1993 Champion Bulls winning in phoenix. What a series for MJ and Paxson’s clutch 3!
    Barkley was the suns early 90s but never got it done for obvious reasons. Now he calls things as he sees them as an analyst, right or wrong. The primadonna nba stars cant handle truth or otherwise nowadays…so disgusting, kind of like the Bulls play vs the suns. Buckets and dwade back for that nonsense? Ouch. This team continues to disappoint on so many levels. Off to minnesota to play thibs’ twolves. What do I think of? KG and now thibs soon to turn that franchise around. When will the Bulls start to do that? Doesnt seem like year or soon. Maybe they can surprise us.
