Let’s try this again

Round two. The second coming. New beginning. If you’re describing the Bulls’ attempt to rebound from their horrible game one loss to the Pistons Saturday, they all work (with apologies to Juelz Santana and Just Blaze).

OK, so the first game was awful. The Bulls were so roundly outplayed that I deleted my DVR’d recording of the game just so I didn’t have to see how things actually happened. Not even a theory about uneven rim tightness can explain the Bulls woes; from everything I’ve heard, the Pistons were just that good. (But that rim thing better not screw us over tonight.)

Even as bad as the first game went, even as it sent shudders down Bulls fans’ spines about how Chicago is headed for another early playoff exit, this series is far from over. Even after throwing up a total albatross, the Bulls have a chance, and thy name is home court advantage. As bleak as it looks, if they can steal one tonight, they’re WAY ahead in the series … and we can all forget Saturday even happened. I can dig that.

So here’s to reclaiming the form that took them over the Heat, with minor adjustments for dealing with a far superior team in the Pistons. Matchup problems be damned — the Bulls can still do this. Let’s try one more time, shall we?

UPDATE: Fuck.
