Hey, who knew that basketball could be fun? When last I wrote about the Chicago Bulls, they’d just finished losing to the Orlando Magic at home, barely scoring points and just looking bad. Since then, their offense has returned to general competence under the leadership of Floor General DJ Augustin — more on him in […]
The Chicago Bulls lost to the Orlando Magic last night, 83-82. It was yet another in a string of ugly games, as the Bulls offense basically went AWOL once Luol Deng got hurt. He’s back now, but even he can’t save this mess. Traditionally, there would be a list of things that we learned from […]
Here’s what we learned: The Chicago Bulls are terrible. The New York Knicks also are terrible. Let us never speak of this game again.
With his Chicago Bulls down 3 points to the Milwaukee Bucks with 10 seconds left, Tom Thibodeau reached into his bag for one of his favorite SLOB (SideLine Out of Bounds) plays. Unfortunately, the Bulls came away with no points. How did that happen, you ask? Simple: the Bucks made a nice defensive play to […]
The Chicago Bulls out-tanked the Milwaukee Bucks at the United Center last night, falling 78-74 in a battle of majorly depleted teams. As it turns out, the Bulls have problems putting the ball in the basket when they’re missing Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah. Who knew? Anyway. On to the newest […]
Let’s be real for a second: Last night sucked. This whole season has sucked, but a 17-point loss to a division rival at home without three starters is a pretty low point. Not as low as the 39-point shellacking by the Los Angeles Clippers two days after Derrick Rose went down, or as low as […]
Does anyone else think it’s unfair that the Chicago Bulls have had to play a total of four overtime periods since losing Derrick Rose? I mean, bad enough that we have to suffer through four quarters of Rose-less basketball, but adding overtime on top seems like cruel and unusual punishment. Anyway, the Bulls lost to […]
The Chicago Bulls got a much-needed win tonight as they steamrolled the Detroit Pistons in the second half en route to a 99-79 victory. After trailing by two at halftime, the Bulls locked down in the second half, holding Detroit to just 26 points in the second half. Luol Deng led all scorers with 27 […]
So. I really don’t know what to say. In nine days, we’ve gone from a shellacking of the then-undefeated Indiana Pacers to losing to the previously 1-14 Utah Jazz in what really should’ve been a blowout. By the Jazz, that is. Derrick Rose is out for the year after tearing his meniscus. Jimmy Butler is […]
Defense is a funny thing. We’re told it wins championships, but in the interim it typically drags the watchability of any given game down into the gutter and beats it about the head and shoulders for a couple hours. Such was the case last night. Yes, the Chicago Bulls beat the Charlotte Bobcats, but […]
