Game 24 Recap: Bulls 110, Raptors 93
I’ve never felt so bummed after a team I’m rooting for just won in a blowout. As many of you already know, Joakim Noah is scheduled to have surgery this morning.

Game 23 Recap: Bulls 92, Pacers 73
This was one of those classic “the final score doesn’t tell the whole story” games. Danny Granger — Indiana’s best player — didn’t play because of a sprained ankle.

The official Carlos Boozer update
According to K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune, it appears we can expect Boozer to “return to game action” by early- to mid-December. In theory. If the Bulls are lucky.

Kyle Korver update
K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune tweeted: “Korver has a simple bone bruise in right knee and participated in portions of Tuesday’s shootaround. Is gametime decision vs. Rockets.” And relief washes over me in an awesome wave.

That was fast: Carlos Boozer is already injured
Let the chorus of “I told you so’s” begin: Carlos Boozer is on the shelf for approximately eight weeks due to a fracture of the fifth metacarpal on his right hand. It will require surgery to repair and rebab to make right. Booz hasn’t even played a preseason game yet. The injury didn’t happen during […]
Bulls limping toward the end
Amid speculation that coach Vinny Del Negro could be standing in an unemployment line as early as tomorrow — said Joakim Noah: “How about we just focus on the game tomorrow and see what happens. When the season’s over, you’ll figure it out.” — the Bulls are hobbling into what may be their final game […]
