Andre Drummond me_irl'd too close to the sun

I’m assuming Andre Drummond’s thought process went something like “this is gonna be so cool. Craig’s gonna lob that shit up there and I’m gonna throw it down. We’ll be in the highlights for a decade.”

And then Torrey didn’t get out of the way, and Drummond came down hard on top of him. 

No harm, no foul, though. It’s just a turnover, right? Right?

If only.

Drummond makes it back on defense, somehow. Given the fall he had, that’s something I’d call a miracle. Then he goes up for a rebound and comes down with his foot sideways, and then he can’t get up.

Adam Amin called it emblematic of the Bulls’ season, and I did my best to keep myself from relapsing. This team is supposed to be in the play-ins?I’ll admit to falling off basketball the last few weeks because of work and wrestling, because Wrestlemania week means the best weekend of independent and Japanese wrestling of the year. I’ve missed the Bulls and the Kings, and the odd national game here and there. My only way of keeping up with these things was Reddit, a platform that’s growing more and more unreliable by the second.

From what I’d seen and heard, I assumed the Bulls were doing a bit better lately. Javonte Green is the shot in the arm they needed, apparently. I mean, there’s five of him, after all. 

Now the Bulls, beaten and embarrassed, limp into the postseason without a backup center while the billionaire owner spends his days crying poor because the taxpayers won’t replace his barely 30-year-old ballpark that has nothing wrong with it.

Here’s hoping the Cubs' hot start isn’t an aberration. They might be the only good team in the city this year.
