And the Blazer knee jinx strikes again! (We were within one ping pong ball of winning the first pick and the rights to draft him)
That is a shame. I was rooting for the Bulls as an Eastern Conference team. Pretty much gives the Heat a direct line to the finals now.
Wow, that sucks. I still say the Bulls win the first round series, but that's probably as far as they go.
I was hoping they'd knock off the Heat.....but the Bulls have won enough titles to last their fanbase about 200 years.
This is a shot in the gut to Bulls fans. Imagine going through this five times since 2007 -- that's been the life of a Blazer fan.
At least Rose will probably come back right? To compare it to what the Blazers have gone through, they'd need Rose to retire, then the'd need to draft a bust over a player who becomes the next Derrick Rose.
Its not hard to feel sympathy when this happens to someones star but it defiantly makes me want to point out the bad luck the Blazers have had when it happens. Not a good thing, I think being a blazer fan has turned me into a one upper but instead of it being good one up its a very bad on up.
I have an investment in a lot of Rose rookie cards as well as unopened boxes that they can be pulled from (2008), all of which will drop in value to some extent due to the serious injury. It's not unlike the stock market.
