Pecking Order: Competitive is the new Continuity (and time is a flat circle for Bulls fans)

What up, Bulls Nation.
Y'all hanging in there?
Cool, me neither.
Many years ago, when I was just starting out in this Chicago sports media life, I wrote a column for my freelance blog gig citing the many inexplicable, delusional and insulting things said by the Bulls front office in a trainwreck of a press conference. I can't even remember which part of the NBA calendar it was. One of the few times a year that GarPax would come out from hiding to sheepishly address the media, gaslight the fans about the state of the team, turn tail and go back into hiding.
But I remember that it pissed me off so much I decided to break down, quote by quote, just how wrong they were.
Well, we all know time ...
