Friday, April 7th: Philadelphia 76ers

Final Score: Celtics 109 76ers 99

We won because we ( Dana ) loves Chicago




Of course I am very excited that my team won.
Of course I am very excited that we kicked Iverson's ass.
Most of all however, I am excited because we won for the Bulls.

Why am I so excited for another team? Why do I get excited to see the Bulls in the Playoffs instead of the Celtics?

Back in 1997 I left Germany to go to the USA for the first time ever. It was also the first time I left Germany to be honest. From a tiny village in Germany I moved to the Windy City Chicago. I had the best time ever. As you can all remember 1997/1998 was the time of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Tony Kukoc, Steve Kerr, Dennis Rodman and the Bulls' 6th championship. I should probably point out that my hostdad was also a Chicago Bulls season ticket holder, which made this experience even more exciting.
I remember every game. I remember how I often met some of the players. I still exactly remember how the team celebrated and the entire city was excited.

The current Bulls team is different of course. I really do like the way they play though. I get all sentimental and I hope they really get a chance to play in the playoffs.

So, we won for the Bulls tonight.
It was a good win.
I am proud. Proud of my team. Proud of the young kids.
I am proud. Proud of the Bulls.

Of course I am super jealous too BUT!!!
We will make it next year. I am sure we will.
