The Good: Uhm…… Well, my mom taught me there’s always something nice to say so… the Bulls secured 77.3 percent of defensive rebounds while Boozer was on […]
It can easily be argued that the Chicago Bulls are out of the playoffs, having lost their series with the Washington Wizards 4-1, because of Tom Thibodeau’s stubbornness, and his seeming refusal to make any significant adjustments. I am not here to argue that point, though the Bulls got whooped with their starters on the […]
Welcome to the latest Bulls by the Horns 5-on-5. Five of our writers will answer five Bulls-related questions. In this edition, we touch on post-season awards, Tom Thibodeau’s future and Carlos Boozer’s media comments. 1. What does Carlos Boozer’s words to the media this week say about his future? Peter Owen: It probably doesn’t do […]
It’s starting to seem like media in Chicago have a particular soft spot for players who are not good at their jobs. After Kirk Hinrich received a glowing little write-up from the immortal Joe Cowley for accepting a diminished role after returning from injury — we’ll leave aside the issue of his regaining his starting […]
In the sheer mass of depression that was the Chicago Bulls’ 99-70 loss to the Sacramento Kings last night, and with Joakim Noah’s epic farewell to the referees after his ejection, it’s easy to overlook Tom Thibodeau trolling the crap out of Carlos Boozer. But we can’t pretend it didn’t happen. Unless you’ve been living […]
Carlos Boozer being benched late in games in favor of Taj Gibson is a move we’ve become accustomed to seeing Thibodeau make over the past several years. In previous years Boozer, though a better offensive option, was a giant hole on defense that Thibodeau couldn’t trust. And this year, we’ve seen Thibodeau play Gibson more […]
The Bulls continue their six-game road trip with a stop in New Orleans as they seek to build on a solid win in San Antonio on Wednesday. With health finally improving enough to let Joakim Noah return and allow Jimmy Butler to look much more comfortable than he has late since battling through a string […]
The Bulls and Clippers meet in Chicago tonight in a battle between two teams who have suffered through numerous point guard injuries this season. The Bulls’ problems have been covered in detail here and elsewhere, while the Clippers has gone rather unreported of late. Since losing Chris Paul, the Clippers’ have lost Darren Collison – […]
The Bulls headed north to face the Milwaukee Bucks Friday night in a Central Division matchup of two teams trending in different directions. Chicago ran out 81-72 winners, despite a 12-point fourth quarter. In a game the Bulls led for the majority. Carlos Boozer led in scoring with 19 points to go with 13 rebounds […]
For anyone fortunate enough to be able to miss this game, good job. The Bulls shot 36 percent from the field and amassed just 77 points, their fourth sub-80 point game in their last four and third consecutive loss. It was awful from top to bottom – Toronto led early on and never really looked […]
