Rose vs. Carney aka Bulls vs. Timberwolves
Sunday, January 4th, 2009
Last night, Apryl and I made our way over to the United Center to catch the Chicago Bulls take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. We were joined by others taking part in the Memphis Tigers Chicago Club (if you follow the link, you’ll see me in two of the photos). Typically, we get together to watch major games throughout the season at Junior’s Sports Lounge, so last night felt more like a field trip. Unfortunately, we were in the midst of folks that already seemed to know one another, so we felt a bit left out.
Oh well, it was still fun to watch fellow Tigers Derrick Rose (22 pts) and Rodney Carney (6 pts) playing against one another on a professional level. It was also nice to see past Grizzlies Mike Miller and Brian Cardinal out on the court playing for the Timberwolves. Check out this great, diplomatic (albeit oversized) shirt that Apryl made for the game:
In front of a crowd of 20,000+, the Bulls lost 102-92 to one of the worst teams in the NBA. Still, you have to admire such a turn out:
Towards the end of the game, the crowd dwindled and started to look more like a Grizzlies crowd:
Of course, any trip to the United Center requires one to pay their respects to the Legend:
