The Bulls got their first win of the preseason on Saturday night in Milwaukee, though as everyone knows, the score is among the least meaningful parts of a preseason game. Here are some thoughts on the players and where they stand so far: -Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol, Jimmy Butler and Kirk Hinrich all […]
It’s been an interesting preseason so far. Without Derrick Rose, it was obviously going to be fascinating to see what the Bulls did. But this has been curious for different reasons. First, it was interesting to find out that Carlos Boozer was still alive. Boozington has put in two straight good preseason games. As I’ve […]
The Bulls have won two straight preseason games, which if you’re counting at home means absolutely nothing. Especially considering their most recent win came against the Timberwolves who were playing without Kevin Love and Ricky Rubio. It’s going to be a lot tougher this time around. The Bulls take on the defending Western Conference champs, […]
Since the last time the Bulls played the Timberwolves things have changed for Minnesota. And not for the better. You have to feel bad for them, with Ricky Rubio in the same place as Derrick Rose with a torn ACL (although a few months ahead) and now Kevin Love breaks his hand. (I would take […]
I didn’t get to watch the last Bulls game against the Timberwolves. Once again it didn’t look like I missed much. The bench continued to struggle. Chicago didn’t have Luol Deng or Rip Hamilton. And they lost. It’s good that the Bulls are getting used to playing without Rip in the preseason, so they won’t […]
The Bulls won their first tune-up game in their Derrick Rose-less quest, but all wasn’t bright. One of the most upsetting things was Jimmy Butler’s 1-11 night. He took a big step back after a promising summer, something I was afraid of when the competition got tougher. The rest of the bench wasn’t great either, […]
The Bulls begin their preseason schedule tonight at home against the Memphis Grizzlies. So what are we likely to see? Probably not much of note. Preseason openers usually feature light duty for the projected starters (which, in the Bulls case, will likely be Kirk Hinrich, Rip Hamilton, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah). It’s […]
Just what Bulls fans have been waiting for: The preseason schedule has been released. From ESPNChicago: The Chicago Bulls open their preseason on Oct. 9 against the Memphis Grizzlies, part of a seven-game schedule that includes games in Champaign and South Bend. The Bulls, who released their preseason schedule on Tuesday, will play the Cleveland […]
The Rip Hamilton signing didn’t cause shock waves in the NBAverse. Not with all the hubub surrounding Chris Paul. Even Miami signing Shane Battier got more positive press. After all, it was felt that the Heat needed only one or two little tweaks to get over the hump. Meanwhile, the Bulls won 62 games last season, […]
Update: According to Nick Friedell and K. C. Johnson, Rip Hamilton will start tonight. Ronnie Brewer will come in off the bench. In a rematch of that last awesome preseason game, Chicago and Indiana face off tonight, again, this time at the United Center. This is the last tune-up game before the Bulls season opener […]
