The beacon of the schadenfreude...

You are really sticking with this sub-title for this thread?

While it was fun, the Bulls have been playing terrible since we've been gloating in other's failures. I think the karma is coming back around or something. :uhoh:

We always had a problem early.
This aint Karma, This is Consistency. lol :lol:

just kidding.
Like Pau said, its better to have problems early on than later on the season. Ala "Pacers" last year.
All is well.

Uhh Detroit-Atlanta in just a few hours.... I'm definitely watching that

There's no such thing as Karma, at least not in this sense. We as fans have no noticeable effect on the Bulls as a team.

League Pass is free for a week btw.

Yeah, that's why the Bulls have been playing terrible. Because the fans on a message board were/have been gloating. Makes sense... :wink:

Who cares?

Schadenfreude does not concern itself with one's favourite team and how they're performing. In fact, those times are exactly the the heart of schadenfreude itself.

When we're sucking and have very little to latch onto in terms of future prosperity, you sports hate. It's a beautiful. The Heat era for us was built on this principle. Thank you, San Antonio and Dallas.

We've sucked hard in January by doing a really good Milwaukee Bucks impersonation by going .500. We need something to get some joy in sports when things are going bad. Those we do not like, watching them fail, it gives some semblance of satisfaction.

We've struggled, but so have the Cavs.

If they somehow turn it around and we don't, then we will always have the Knicks. Thank you for your generosity to all Bulls fans, New York.

really ugly first quarter offensively between the Hawks & Pistons. 16 to 12? And Andre Drummond already has 11 boards

Nothing easy against this Atlanta team man. That used to be us.

anybody know why ESPN is claiming Korver would be 1st player in NBA history to shoot 50/50/90 in a season? Why are they ignoring the fact Steve Kerr (.506/.515/.929) did that in 1995-96?

I'm assuming they're using the 50-40-90 club rules, and Kerr only made 78 free throws that season, well short of the 125 required.

The 3 point line was shortened then too.

Wow Charlotte is destroying minny, I mean I know wolves are bad.... but the lolcats are without walker and jefferson and they're up by 30.

Detroit putting up a much better fight.

ah, maybe. They should still acknowledge it, though, IMO.
thanks
