It was fully 16 and a half months ago that I called for the Chicago Bulls to get themselves their own NBA D-League team. It was August 2013, still two months before Derrick Rose would return after tearing his ACL and about three and a half months before he would tear his meniscus in Portland. […]
Once Charlotte, the other main suitor for Kirk Hinrich, signed Brian Roberts, it seemed to be a fait accompli that the veteran would return to Chicago yet again, though hope remained another team might jump in. Those hopes were quickly dashed by Adrian Wojnarowski: Charlotte had been pursuing free agent Kirk Hinrich, but belief is […]
Let’s start by stating the obvious: Jerry Reinsdorf is cheap, Tom Thibodeau is kind of a crazy person, and the front office combo of Gar Forman and John Paxson lack, um, let’s call it bedside manner. Actually, that’s not true, because as we learned from Luol Deng, GarPax won’t even visit your bedside. Surely every Bulls […]
Ugh. This is what Bulls fans have to look forward to the rest of the season. Chicago, on the heels of being blown out by nearly 40 points by the Clippers, was just defeated by far and away the worst team in the NBA tonight. The Jazz controlled the game for most of the way, […]

Bad news straight from the source: “I increased the workout a little bit and had a great deal of pain. So I’m just going to try and be off of everything for a little bit again. I don’t want to get to that point [where his season is over]. Even if I’m capable of being back […]
According to Vinny Del Negro, both Kirk Hinrich (bruised right quadriceps) and Tim Thomas (hyper-extended left knee) will be game-time decisions tonight. Said Vinny: “They’ll warm up before the game and see how loose they can get. If they can give us some minutes, they will.” I’m not all that concerned about whether Timmy plays, […]
I was halfway through my “Let’s try to stay positive everybody!” post when I read about Ben Gordon’s tiff with Vinny Del Negro. (More details in today’s fresh ink). The gist of it is that Ben, upset over a fine levied because he was late for a team flight, lodged a strongly worded (of the four-letter variety) complaint with Vinny in […]
