It was fun to read the reactions to the Bulls preseason opening night statement from the beat writers. The ones who were contractually forced (the rest of us need to take it up with themselves and their gods) to watch so much miserable Bulls basketball the past five years seemed the happiest.
Both Darnell Mayberry of The Athletic and Jamal Collier of ESPN.com (previously with the Tribune) used the word ‘fun’ to describe their day at work last night. KC Johnson, who’s suffered the most in terms of duration, didn’t quite let out that exclamation but it was notable in the change of his lead/deficit alerts:
Yes, things were good.
