Re: 2012-13 Chicago Bulls Thread

Illness game is overrated. I thought the Portland game in the Finals where Jordan hit like 6 threes in the 1st half and couldn't believe it himself was the most memorable of the championship series-es. He also had 11 assists that game and 35 points in the 1st half is still a Finals record. 63 vs. the Celtics was pretty memorable because I was watching as a kid about 5 miles from the Chicago Stadium and that was my last summer before moving to Indiana.

Yeah I gotta go with the 63 as well. That would be like Derrick Rose coiming back this year and just torching the big three in a playoff game. Would be pretty awesome.

So I guess no DRose even for the playoffs, huh? I've tried to not judge him for taking so long to come back but this is getting ridiculous.

We were in Park City, Utah, up in a hotel. Room service stopped at like nine o'clock. He got hungry and we really couldn't find any other place to eat. So we said eh, the only thing I can find is a pizza place. So we says all right, order pizza.

 

We had been there for a while. Everybody knew what hotel. Park City was not many hotels back then. So everyone kind of knew where we were staying.

 

So we order pizza.

 

Five guys came to deliver this pizza.

 

I take the pizza and I tell them: "I've got a bad feeling about this. ... I've just got a bad feeling about this."

 

Out of everybody in the room, [MJ] was the only one who ate. Nobody else had it.

 

And then 2 o'clock in the morning I get a call to my room. Come to the room. He's curled up in the fetal position. We're looking at him, finding the team physician at that time.

 

Immediately I told him it's food poisoning.

 

Not the flu.

 

wait, so he was probably intentionally poisoned? if so, that makes the sick game even more iconic. they poisoned him and he still won!

 

I heard he was shot a couple times too?

[USSoccer]

So 5 guys delivering pizza=hung over? Because he was hung over.

When they ordered the pizza did they specifically tell the place that it was for Michael Jordan and his entourage?

I think Grover's rationale is that when he told the pizza place the name of the hotel and room number (presumably a suite), the pizza place knew it was for one of the Bulls.

It still sounds specious to me.

[Sammy Sofa]

No way, a bunch of guys totally poisoned the most popular athlete on the planet. Makes perfect sense.

[SouthSideRyan]

Everyone knows 4 guys isn't enough to poison a pizza

[Sammy Sofa]

Everyone knows the hallmark of a legit poisoning is five people delivering a pizza.

Obviously you guys haven't seen Celtic Pride.

michael jordan ate their pubes lmao

I'm not sure how a bunch of guys who work at a Pizza joint would be sophisticated enough to give someone food poisoning without risking seriously hurting or killing them.

 

For MJ to have felt the symptoms within 1 hour, it would've had to be food poisoning mediated by a pre-existing microbial toxin present in a reasonably large quantity. Even taking a piece of stool and putting it on the pizza wouldn't do the trick. That would probably require a few hours incubation.

 

Great story. I'm just not buying it.

[Guest]

he was poisoned, deal with it

[illiniguy]

he was poisoned, deal with it

It would have killed mere mortals like Kobe and LeBron.

A 25 year old Peoria Illinois man filed a lawsuit Thursday against Chicago Bulls Superstar Derrick Rose. Matthew Thompson, a self-described long-time Bulls fan, and electrician claims Rose missing the entire 2012-2013 NBA regular season has caused him to have mental breakdowns and emotional distress, which ultimately led to obesity issues.

Cool so Noah is doubtful for Game 1, will probably be a shell of himself if he plays at all this series, and admitted he played in regular season games he shouldn't have.

 

Bulls medical people are terrible and Thibs has no sense of how to throttle it back.

Gotta give Noah the bulk of the blame though. He's the only one that knows how he feels, and he's dealt with plantar fascitis before, so it's not something he's inexperienced with.

Without looking it up, I'm guessing no team in the history of sports has ever had to go through the playoffs without their two best players in consecutive seasons. Or most of the playoffs, I should say.
