The second cut is the deepest. Or something. Where the opener against New York was a first glimpse, tonight is an introduction, the home opener to the most hotly anticipated Bulls season since 2011 and the second and hopefully final return of Derrick Rose. Tonight’s opponent is one that we should get to know very […]
Here we are again. When last we left one another, the Bulls were in the process of being on the receiving end of a gentleman’s sweep a the hands of the Washington Wizards. It was a quick and merciful end to another miserable season bereft of Derrick Rose. Well, Rose is back, again. While some […]
One of the heaviest and longest-lasting criticisms leveled at the Bulls’ front office in recent years is their insistence on scrimping and saving wherever possible to avoid going into the luxury tax despite ostensibly trying to compete for a title. For every role player lost, team doctrine has dictated that the team was saving money […]
The Bulls completed their sweep of the, I suppose we’ll call it “group stage” today with a dominant second half over a very talented Minnesota squad. After a relatively competitive first half, the Bulls turned it on in the third quarter, doubling up Minnesota 32-16, then pulling even farther ahead after winning the fourth 26-14. […]
The Chicago Bulls improved to 2-0 in the 2014 Samsung NBA Summer League Sunday night with a 27 point drubbing of the Denver Nuggets, with whom the Bulls now infamously traded two first round picks two for the rights to Doug McDermott. After last night’s relatively subpar performance (despite the Bulls 16 point victory), […]
It really couldn’t end any other way, could it? Being held under 70 (again), losing at home (again), losing one player to injury (again) and having another visibly marginalized by injury (again). Fighting and scrapping and bleeding and, eventually, dying in the first round to a younger, faster, better team (again). Yesterday was the two […]
The Bulls find themselves on the precipice of defeat tonight at home against the Wizards, who have shredded their vaunted defense thus far. On a day that is bound to be dominated by the Donald Sterling controversy (and his subsequent banishment FOR LIFE by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver), there isn’t a whole lot to break […]
Things went from bad to good to great to bad to worse tonight as the Bulls fought and scrapped with the Wizards for the vast majority of the game before slipping away in the final minutes to find themselves down early and without home-court advantage in this first round playoff matchup. The first half went […]
The Playoffs finally, finally begin Sunday night as the Bulls host the only other team Michael Jordan ever played for, the resurgent Wizards, in the first game of a best of seven series. Including the regular season, this will be the fourth meeting between these two teams. All three meetings have taken place in the […]
For the longest time, this game looked like one of the worst losses of the season for the Bulls. Through two quarters, they were being controlled by the Pistons defense, blown apart by the Pistons offense, and personally dominated by Andre Drummond, who outrebounded the Bulls by himself, 19 to 17, through two quarters. The […]
