Chances are, if you’re a Chicago Bulls fan, you’re also one of the Bears. And if that’s the case, then you definitely hate Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who has trash talked (and admittedly dominated) the Bears for years.
And that’s exactly what made the Bulls’ shocking Game 2 upset over the Milwaukee Bucks that much more enjoyable. Both during and after the triumph, the Bulls’ Twitter account, along with Bulls Twitter as a whole, piled on Rodgers, who was in attendance sitting courtside with the Bucks’ owner’s daughter.
Before we get into that, though, we gotta give our props to Chicago’s top performers. DeMar DeRozan dropped 41 points on 16-of-31 shooting. Zach LaVine added 20 on 7-of-13 from the field. Nikola Vucevic chipped in a double-double (23 points, 13 rebounds) on an efficient 10-of-18 effort. Alex Caruso was a +16 on the night, dishing out 10 assists and scoring nine points. Patrick Williams, who was tasked with keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo in check, dropped 10 points and hauled in nine boards. That’s an all-around team effort. And now the Bulls have home court advantage.
Speaking of that, Rodgers is all too familiar with the Packers hosting playoff games at Lambeau Field … and then choking them away. This year’s defeat at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers was the latest example, and Bulls fans had a field day with it.

Bulls Twitter trolling Aaron Rodgers during Game 2 was epic
Yes, Aaron. Enjoy it, Aaron. Another L on the ledger. Can we fly this guy to Chicago for Games 3, 4 and 5? He could be a good luck charm for the Bulls.
Fans in Milwaukee and Green Bay will be quick step in to compare championships, but we’re sure those in Chicago can easily sleep at night knowing Rodgers has just one ring despite being one of the best quarterbacks in history across his 14 years as a starter. His career has been characterized by more team failures than successes.
As for his passing? Well, that’s really good, but he still has that stink of the 49ers loss on him, in addition to some competition from Caruso, who was dropping dimes on Wednesday night.

Not a good year for Rodgers in the postseason. Keep this guy away from Brewers games when October arrives, Wisconsin!
Might be time for a vaccine mandate in the state at some of these sporting events…
Patrick Williams calling out Giannis Antetokounmpo is the energy Bulls need
Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams isn't all that impressed with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo. Drama before Game 2!
