Typically only for special occasions, we made our return to the Lexus Level at the UC to see the Bulls host the Mavericks on Monday night. And yes, it WAS a special occasion… sssshhhh…
I don’t think the Bulls got the memo though. Holy crap! They were down like 30 points in the first quarter; I’m glad I didn’t bet them. What I should have bet is for Luka Doncic to have a triple double; he almost had that in the first quarter! He was impressive in our first look at him in person. My son was low key loving that. His favorite player, lighting it up. He tried to get that 30 point triple double, which would have been the 7th in a row of that variety, but came up short with 27 points; he’s out there chucking up treys in the 4th quarter with the game in hand… anything for those individual stats, huh? Glad he didn’t get it; it was one small win for the Bulls on this bloodbath of an evening. I am glad he did play though. If you recall, we bought tickets to see the Mavs last year, and then Luka doesn’t play… sore right quad… BS. These guys today… Anyways, he was on the court, he did well, my son was happy… that was good.
The Bulls on the other hand… geez, they were about as bad as they could be. Nobody did well. Actually, the new kid Bitim ended up with 17 points, most of those in garbage time late. I don’t mind him. In fact, he should have been getting some playing time way before now; not like the Bulls are overflowing with talent. Anyways, was excited about seeing the NBA’s most improved player this year go off; yes, I did bet on that, but no, Coby did not come through for us on that evening, even with his custom jersey as the give away. My son immediately put that sucker on. Thought maybe we’d be in trouble getting them, as the line to get in the UC was very, very long. No worries though; they had plenty. I will be listing mine on eBay soon… haha… hey, it’s an adult L… not wearing a belly shirt, ok?
But yeah, back to that special occasion. It was the wife’s birthday eve, a “big” one, but we won’t say any more about that; OK, one more thing. My son and I were joking… ever been to an amusement park, and they have someone trying to guess your age; if they don’t, you win a prize. It’s actually either age or weight; I won on the weight guess… I guess I wear my weight well??? Anyways, I remember that person standing there, betting that they could make the right guess, and I think we’d absolutely rack up on prizes if someone was trying to guess my wife’s age… good luck with that!!! And congrats to me! Haha… Anyways, HBD babe… age ain’t nothing but a number.
