The NBA was the last thing on everybody's mind yesterday, as hopefully everybody reading this got to take in a wonderful opening day of baseball. But there are still games left to be played for the Bulls this season, even if the team's promising backcourt duo won't be suiting up for them.
Lauri Markkanen rode the pine tonight as well, officially listed as inactive due to "rest", but the tanking Bulls were still able to provide some entertaining moments in the team's 11 point loss to the Heat.
First, we got the mild-mannered Fred Hoiberg yelling "F*ck you" at the refs after a first-half technical, which is quite funny to me.
Watching Fred drop the F-bomb on national television is reminiscent of watching your ten year old curse at you for the first time. You know they're angry, and they know that what they're about to say is inappropriate but they say it anyway. The immediate guilt that washes over them afterwards is palpable, and that was the case with Fred here. Hoiberg's outburst, if you could even call it that, was a distant second to the tantrum Robin Lopez through after getting ejected for his second technical.
An animated Robin Lopez an entertaining Robin Lopez. The Bulls seventh straight loss drops them to 24-51, tied with Brooklyn and Sacramento for the 6th worst record in the league, and just one game better in the loss column than Dallas and Orlando. The Bulls play the Magic tomorrow where they'll be looking to take advantage of a big tank loss opportunity.
