Step 3 – Anger and Bargaining

Frustration gives way to anger, and fans may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the loss on the Bulls’ front office.

Please try to keep calm and think about what Rose would do.

Keep faith in the Bulls’ organization and its ability to rebuild. After all, it is the business of basketball. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.

You may rail against fate, questioning “Why D-Rose?”

You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that pave way for a path out of your despair, in unhealthy ways.
