I don't know if I want to talk about the bulls problems. We have enough of our own. And frankly 'I don't give a damn'.........scarlet.
It's interesting cuz the two teams are tied by so much and compared so much. The Bulls have been held up against the Knicks as a symbol of doing everything right and yet they seem to have made some bad judgment calls themselves. They were on the fast track to title contention and now there's serious doubt about that. It's gonna be interesting to see how both teams fair from here on. Can either team pull themselves out of this hole?
It's interesting you'd talk about them being tied in so many ways. I can guarantee you, if the Knicks record were the opposite way (9-3), the bulls record would be also. This is a general rule in chicago. Of all of the cities that NY has ever played, chicago has had the upper hand on us in the playoffs. The bears clobbered the Giants about six to three times in championship games (before the superbowl came out) and the bulls have clobbered the Knicks 4-1 on there way to four of those six championships. We beat them once in the playoffs, to eventually lose to the Rockets. The only bright spot are the Yankees, who have clobbered the sux and scrubs over the years. This may sound insane, but I know for a fact that chicagoans live by the NY yard stick. They teach their kids to 'hate' everything about NY. And at the same time, they try to do everything NY does. Worlds Tallest building, Merchantile Exchange (like Wall Street), Grant Park that is supposed to resemble a little of Central Park in a way, Magnificant MIle Michigan Avenue (like NY's famous Avenues and so on and so on. They want to outdo NY as much as possible and that city is only 1/4 the size of NY. And ironically, NY is kind of buying out chicago's institutions. They had a deapartment store (again like Macy's in NY) that was called 'Marshall Fields', who was recently bought out by Macy's in NY and changed the name to Macy's. chicagoans hate it! If you ever go there, if you go to state street, there is no doubt that they are building some projects that is very much going to resemble Times Square, but on a much, much smaller scale. they're even going to have the outdoor television stations, like in Times, NBC, ABC & CBS, affiliates to the major networks in NY. There's lot's of stories I can tell you about chicago. Here's another fact about chicago. The Civic Opera House was designed to look like a giant chair. They put the back of the chair to face East. To face NYC, as a symbol of turning it's back on NYC, to symbolize the hatred they feel there. They actually tell you this in their tours. It's totally amazing the resentment in that town. They will brag about how they invented something first. Like the steel beam building, in which they say NY took to another level. But all in all, as much as they hate us, they want to be like us and they are trying hard to sell it's self. They are tyring to get the summer olympics there to advertise themselves on a world scale and sell the hell out of themselves. The prices in that town are certainly going wayyyyyyyyyyy up and it's getting expensive like 'you guessed it' NYC. That would explain why chicago is tied with us in so many ways. But the unique thing about NYC is, NYC is made up of people from all over' the world. That's one of the things that's so great about NY. chicago uses it's sports teams as a symbol of success and they pride themselves on beating up on our NY teams. It is their symbol to success and claim to be the worlds greatest city. I thought people should know this the next time you wonder or talk about chicago. I don't know of any other city in the world who's like this.
I'll never trust this' team again.
