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 […]

Chicago Bulls 99, Detroit Pistons 79: Motown Blues
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.

Utah Jazz 89, Chicago Bulls 83: What did we learn?
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 […]
Chicago Bulls 86, Charlotte Bobcats 81: What did we learn last night?
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 […]

Since you’ve had a night to sleep on it, allow me to start things off by reassuring you that the Chicago Bulls’ 110-94 win over the Indiana Pacers did indeed happen, and it was just as dominating as you remember, if not more so. Derrick Rose had probably his best game of the season, […]
Recap: Chicago Bulls 110, Indiana Pacers 94
The Chicago Bulls finally seem to be living up to their preseason promise, winning their fourth straight game in a blowout over the Indiana Pacers tonight at the United Center. All four wins have come by double-digits after the 110-94 victory over their previously undefeated division rival, and the game was not really as […]
Chicago Bulls 96, Toronto Raptors 80: What did we learn last night?
The Chicago Bulls are officially over .500 on the season! They’ve won three straight games by double-digits after beating the Toronto Raptors and everything is great! No, we’re not overcompensating for our depression at the thought of Derrick Rose being hurt, why do you ask? Anyway, Rose was out but it didn’t seem to […]
Derrick Rose and the question of pace for the Chicago Bulls
We’re six games into the NBA season. Derrick Rose has a player efficiency rating of 6.7, which is — charitably — not good. The Chicago Bulls as a team are shooting a sparking 26.3 percent from three point land, with Luol Deng coming in at a delightful 5.6 percent from downtown. No, that is not […]
