Main topic on this episode of the Bulls Zone is the playoff picture, and where the Bulls might end up by the end of the season. The remaining schedule of the Eastern Conference playoff teams are reviewed along with how the Bulls individual stats have been since the Rose, Butler, and Gibson injuries. For more […]
Okay, seriously, are the Bulls cursed? On the surface, that question seems irrational and misguided, because there are no such things as curses. But it sure feels like a witch doctor somewhere worked some major voodoo on this team. For the past two seasons, the Bulls have had championship potential that was ultimately undone by […]
Time isn’t the friend of this M.A.S.H unit known as the Chicago Bulls. There are six games left in the regular season and there are more unhealthy bodies than healthy ones. Derrick Rose (left knee rehab) is still in the “out indefinitely” category. Rose says he’s still open to playing this season, but a return […]
Maybe you saw it happen. Maybe you didn’t. But yesterday was the saddest playoff win in franchise history. With 1:20 left and the Bulls nursing a double-digit lead, Derrick Rose drove the lane and tore the ACL in his left knee while trying to execute a jump-stop. Rose’s season is over. And, for all intents and […]
We thought Luol Deng had a sprained left wrist. We thought he was day-to-day. Turns out there’s a torn ligament in that wrist and Deng will be missing in action indefinitely. Said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau: “He’s going to be out for awhile. It’s a pain tolerance thing.” Uh oh. Added Deng: “I know it’s a bad injury, […]
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.
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 […]
More bad injury news for the Bulls: Luol Deng — Chicago’s primary LeBron James defender — is hurting. Again. Or still. Or whatever. Said Deng: “I don’t feel good at all. The calf strain took a lot out of me. And it’s still bothering me. I missed 12 games, but I wanted to get back into it […]
Since I’ve posted lots of injury news for various Bulls players this season — Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, rookie Taj Gibson, etc. — it seems only fair to give the other rookie his due. To wit: James Johnson started and logged 25 minutes in last night’s game against the Pistons despite a partially torn plantar fascia […]
Bulls fans should probably prepare themselves for the team’s 10th straight loss: Derrick Rose (sprained wrist) and Luol Deng (strained calf) will both miss tonight’s game against the Cavaliers. Joakim Noah (plantar fasciitis) is still out too. I can’t argue the decision. Why risk your players’ health in a game that might not be winnable […]
