If two Eastern Conference teams not named Miami or Indiana play while an NFL playoff game is on, does it make a sound? Either way, tonight the Bulls play host to the Atlanta Hawks, who after another pectoral injury to Al Horford are now forced to face a second recent season without their best player, […]
The Bulls can’t even get blown out right. Regardless of if you saw tonight’s game or not, there’s only one fact you need to know about Chicago’s 105-83 loss at home to the Mavericks: Accounting for a 1:14 “breather” in the first half and the last minute-plus where Tom Thibodeau actually waved the white […]
I’m not gonna give a whole drawn-out dramatic telling of tonight’s narrative. If you missed the game, here’s how it went: Bulls briefly led to start, then Houston claimed the lead on a flurry from James Harden, who looked just fine on his bad ankle, and the Rockets stretched their lead bit by bit into […]
Both squads in tonight’s game are big market teams battling injuries and deflecting rampant trade rumors, yet their respective trajectories could not be more opposite. The Rockets are 16-9, and look poised to add a couple rotation players via trade, while Chicago is essentially dead in the water, and possibly content with treading it for […]
The 1980 playoffs start this in this week’s installment, but they begin with more of a whimper than a bang. After getting a bye through to the second round, the Lakers begin their march to the title against All-Stars Paul Westphal, Walter Davis and the Phoenix Suns in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, […]
There is but one person in the Bulls organization who understands where this team needs to go, who fully grasps the potential of this era of Chicago Bulls basketball, who is willing to do what it takes to deliver a championship. It’s not owner Jerry Reinsdorf, as he’s probably been lounging by the pool at […]
With the 1980 playoffs on deck, let’s do a brief double dip lamenting the loss of two great games from the YouTube library. The first is a double overtime thriller on Super Bowl Sunday between the Celtics and the defending champion Sonics. Larry Bird had an all-around good game with some fantastic passes, and Boston’s […]
A titanic game is on tap for this week’s Total Recall: the first matchup between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in the Boston Garden (their first overall meeting is unfortunately not on YouTube). To set the scene, Boston holds the league’s best record at 32-10, while the Lakers are 30-15, two games behind Seattle for the top […]
Well, not sure anyone could have expected that it was the Bulls-Pelicans game that was dead even after 60-plus minutes of action and Monday Night Football the 27 point blowout with backups finishing the game, and yet, that’s how last night panned out. Even the most hardcore proponents of tanking had to feel for the […]
Tonight, Anthony Davis makes his debut back in Chicago against Derrick Rose and the Bulls! Yeah, about that… If this game were on Sunday Night Football, it surely would have been flexed out. With Davis having broken his hand in a road win in Madison Square Garden last night and Rose out for the rest […]
