The Bulls went into the All-Star break having won four of their last five after again throttling an Eastern Conference playoff team on the boards and controlling the pace of the game. After again jumping out to a double digit lead in the first half, the Bulls saw Brooklyn slowly fight their way back within […]
The Bulls jumped out to a big lead and throttled the Hawks, due in most part to their domination on the boards. Six Bulls scored in double figures, led by Taj Gibson’s 24 points, 12 rebounds, and 5 assists on 12-19 shooting. Joakim Noah had the more impressive line with 19 points, 16 rebounds, and […]
One of the great dangers of this transitory period in the Derrick Rose Era is the ever present worst-case scenario of “becoming the Hawks.” At first glance, this doesn’t seem to be a bad thing. The Hawks have averaged over 45 wins a season over the last six, reaching at least 40 wins every season […]
In case you didn’t know, tonight marks the first time the Bulls will face a team who employs Luol Deng. While the implications of tonight’s game have, by this point, been well-covered, I want to cover this somewhat momentous event with an eye on the past, on properly appreciating how much Luol Deng meant to […]
Winners of 11 of their last 15, the Bulls escaped with a last second victory against the hapless Lakers on Martin Luther King Jr Day. After a sparkling first quarter which saw the Bulls hover around 60% from the field, the Lakers ran them down in the second, taking a three point lead into the […]
In case you hadn’t heard, today is Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Day, a day in which dreams become both reality and sobering disappointment. A surefire way to describe these two teams if ever I’ve heard one. Coming into tonight’s action, both teams are under .500, LA at 16-25 and the Bulls at 19-20. Two […]
Yesterday was a sad day for the Chicago Bulls and those who follow them with the team’s recent trade of Luol Deng, longest tenured Bull, humanitarian, and all around beacon of everything right with the NBA. It was also the deadline for non-guaranteed contracts to become guaranteed, which precipitated the panic Cleveland had to get […]
The Bulls remain undefeated in 2014 by rallying to beat their first over .500 team since December 7th by putting the clamp on Phoenix at the United Center. With their third win against the Western Conference (they had just one barely eight days ago), the Bulls move to 15-18 on the season despite only playing […]
The Bulls begin to move on from the longest-tenured player on the roster and the fourth leading scorer in team history Tuesday night as they host the explosive Suns in Chicago. After finally achieving some semblance of health, the Bulls managed to string together their best stretch since mid November, winning 5 of 7 and […]
Well, that could have been worse. Completing their first winning streak since Derrick Rose got hurt, the Bulls managed to avoid embarrassing themselves on what will almost certainly be the biggest stage they play on this season, throttling the Nets in the second half and leaving Brooklyn at 11-16, good enough to insert themselves back […]
