2013-2014 Schedule Highlights
The NBA released the regular season schedules two nights ago and you can take a look at who we got here. I'll try hit on some of the interesting and not so obvious games because we all know which teams we want to see the Bulls play, all game times in CT.
Bulls at Heat, Oct. 29, 7 p.m. DRose's first regular season game back, Heat getting their rings, nough said.
Knicks at Bulls, Oct. 31, 7 p.m. Home opener on Halloween, things are gonna get real spooky. Mummy strippers? Anyways, the UC is gonna be absolutely bonkers for this. We're gonna turn Metta back into Ron and have him fall back into his old habits at the UC, hittin the Hennessy hard at halftime after what we're gonna do to them. This is the one game I'd be ok to have Rip back on the team solely for the mask.
Bulls at Bucks, Dec. 13th, 7:30 p.m. If you're as broke as I am then this is one of the few games we'll be able to feasibly attend and that's only because it's in Milwaukee.
Bulls at Brooklyn, Christmas Day, 11:00 a.m. NBA Basketball on Christmas day is better than any present I'll ever get. Only way I get through spending that much time with my family for 2 days straight is the free beer and these games.
Raptors at Bulls, New Year's Eve, 6:00 p.m. Get a quick W then go out and get fucked up in the city with JoNo and Co.
Lakers at Bulls, Jan. 20th, 7:00 p.m. Gonna be a good day, off work for MLK day (if I have a job by then) and my time honored tradition on MLK day of blunts and 40's on top of getting to watch this game.
Nuggets at Bulls, Feb. 21st, 7:00 p.m. This game has double implications because it'll be Nate Robinson's first time back in the UC, not counting the preseason, and will probably be the first game after the trade deadline. I doubt we'll make any moves, but with constant Deng trade and Boozer amnesty rumors who knows what the team could look like for this game. LaMarcus Aldridge or Kevin Love anyone?
Thunder at Bulls, St. Patrick's Day, 7:00 p.m. We get to watch the Bulls and one of the best teams in NBA go at it as we proceed to get black out drunk, AND I get to rock my green Kirk Hinrich jersey shirt which is basically my prized possession.
Celtics at Bulls, Mar. 30th, 6:00 p.m. Bulls at Celtics, Mar. 31st, 7:00 p.m. I know the Celtics aren't what they used to be, but I always love these back to backs against the same team. Bulls usually get one of these each season and I just like being able to see the adjustments the teams make to each other, kinda like a mini playoff series.
So those are the games I'm looking forward to. As a general season outlook we got 17 back to backs which is about 4 less than we normally play so hopefully Thibs still stays true to the decreased minutes he promised, 33 nationally televised games including NBA TV games which I don't really like because that usually means less of the King and Funk for us (Fun fact: Neil Funk was the play by play announcer for NBA Hangtime) , and we got an easy April so hopefully we can get our guys rested and healthy then to get ready for the playoffs.
