No Olympics for Noah
Joakim Noah sprained his left ankle during Game 3 of the Bulls’ first round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers. That injury was devastating for the Bulls. Apparently, it will be devastating for Team France as well. Jo won’t be able to play for his home country in this summer’s Olympic games because the ankle is […]
Meet your newest Bull: Marquis Teague
There was some pre-draft talk about the Bulls trading Luol Deng to acquire a higher selection. Didn’t happen. The Bulls didn’t pull off any blockbuster trades or mega-deals. Neither Dwight Howard nor Pau Gasol nor any other big names will be walking through the Berto Center doors any time soon. The Bulls are what they […]
Game Recap 6: Sixers 79, Bulls 78
Empty. That’s how I feel today. As empty as the United Center will be during the remainder of the 2012 NBA Playoffs. That’s how Bulls fans everywhere feel after last night’s gut-wrenching loss the Philadelphia 76ers. Empty like championship promise unfulfilled. That’s how the Bulls must feel right now. History was amended last night. The […]
Sixers-Bulls First Round Playoff Series Preview
Not to overlook last night’s game against the Cavaliers — which the Bulls won 107-75 despite resting Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Kyle Korver — but the regular season is over. The Bulls (50-16) once again compiled the league’s best record. San Antonio again has the second-best record (the Spurs are also 50-16, but Chicago […]
Game Recap: Bulls 96, Sixers 91
Derrick Rose is the reigning MVP. He isn’t going to repeat. This year’s MVP race has LeBron James way out in front of the pack, Kevin Durant in shouting distance of LeBron, and everybody else lagging behind in big group that could be labled “We Have No Chance.” Rose sure looked like the MVP last night though. The […]
The All-Star Game was a yawn-fest…
…for Bulls fans wanting to see their players and coach take center stage. Derrick Rose played only 18 minutes — the fewest minutes of any starter on the Eastern Conference squad — and sat out the second and fourth quarters. He didn’t uncork any monster dunks or make any spectacular plays, finishing with 14 points and 3 […]
Luol Deng: All-Star
Celebrate good times, people. After years of hard work and dedication to his craft — during which his contributions have been largely unappreciated outside of (and sometimes inside of) Chicago — Luol Deng has been selected as a reserve on the Eastern Conference All-Star team. A few days ago, I said there wasn’t a solid […]
