The Bulls play their last game against a Central Division foe tonight as they host the Pistons. This will be their fourth (and final, obviously) meeting this season. The Bulls have won 2 of the 3 previous meetings, with the one loss breaking an 18 game winning streak against the Pistons. That loss, on December […]
So, about that whole “Pacers are going to throttle someone” thing. It happened. They went on a 15-0 run in the early third quarter and controlled the game most of the rest of the way. This was, predictably, a bit of a slog, but the Bulls were in through two quarters. They’ve now lost the […]
The two standouts of the Central Division meet tonight in Indianapolis. The Bulls, coming off a disturbingly close victory over the 76ers, face the Pacers for the first time since dismantling them in mid November. Derrick Rose scored 20 points on 16 shots in what was probably the best game of his brief comeback season. […]
After this opening sentence, I will not use “struggled with his shot,” again for the duration of this recap. Aside from Tony Snell (who was 1-1), every Bull shot poorly tonight. The team as a whole hit a paltry 35% of their shots, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given Chicago’s ineptitude offensively and OKC’s […]
The Bulls continue their recent spate of hosting Western Conference foes Monday night against Kevin Durant and Thunder in primetime. Winners of 5 of their 8 games thus far in March, the Bulls are still very much in play for the 3 seed in the East (which would likely allow them to avoid the Heat […]
I said that Noah had to outplay Chris Bosh for this to be a victory. Bosh had a fine game (15 pts, 5 reb on 6-10 shooting), but against Noah, he was but a flickering candle against a tidal wave. Noah was EVERYWHERE, and everything that happened in that 12 point comeback can be laid […]
The Bulls get their second shot at the Heat in as many weeks this afternoon in *another* primetime Nationally Televised game everyone will complain about. Where the previous three matchups went wildly in favor of one team, it is interesting to note that the home team has won all three games in the season series […]
The Bulls look to run their winning streak to four straight (and 9 of 10) Sunday afternoon at home versus the spiraling calamity that is the New York Knicks. This figures to be an easy game (so, being the pessimist I am, of course I expect to lose it), and with how easily the Bulls […]
Oops. So much for that resurgent offense. So much for that win streak. So much for that burgeoning contendership. The Bulls, after a strong first quarter that saw them outscore the Heat 24-20, were throttled in the second half, falling to the LeBron-less Heat by 14. Everything that’s worked in 2014 for the Bulls (D.J. […]
The Bulls look to win their sixth straight this afternoon as they travel to their supposed “bitter rival” and two-time defending champion Miami Heat. Before anything else, I feel obligated to mention that both LeBron James and Jimmy Butler are apparently out for today’s game, which both complicates and simplifies things. Without Jimmy, the Bulls […]
