First Bulls game @ 100 level

Now that the NBA 2009-10 season is about to start, I am following up with some really "ancient" pictures - even before the playoff series against Boston which they lost in 7 (Here, here, here and here). It was a regular home game vs Lakers. Bulls had a lopsided lost, of course. But before the second half, they really had a chance to win, with the lead that they built since the beginning. They simply fall apart in the second half...

Why do I mention some history? Because we're at the game! And I paid for a ridiculous amount just to experience the 100 level of excitement! It was fun! Until they lost... and we realized we could not use the ticket stub to exchange for a McDonald's burger (Requirement: Bulls to win and over 100 points).

Enough rumbling of something old! Here are some shots:

I was struggling. Go Bulls? Or Go Kobe??

It's Kobe!


From the gestures, I think the Bulls were losing pretty badly at this point...



After the game. Bulls lost... by a lot! So we're just taking more pictures to make the money spent worth it!


And one last group picture before we left the stadium
