Editor’s note: The following comment was written by By The Horns reader uber_snotling in response to the Carlos Boozer needs more Kyle Korver post. Two person +/- comparisons are flawed in some ways, but can be very informative. For another stat backing up the argument, look at the five-man units from Basketball Value. Two units have played […]

Carlos Boozer needs more Kyle Korver
During the Pacers-Bulls series, Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau called Boozer a “lightning rod.” When things are going poorly, Booz gets the boos. That’s life. Derrick Rose can go 11-for-27, miss seven of eight three-pointers and commit 8 turnovers but get a pass. He’s already earned respect from the fans. Boozer? Not so much. He can’t […]
Kyle Korver: Dunk Master
Game 3 Recap: Bulls 88, Pacers 84
Danny Granger got his wish. Before the series, Granger (rather infamously) said: “Chicago, they go as Derrick Rose goes.

Game 20 Recap: Bulls 88, Cavaliers 83
It almost happened. The Bulls were this close to falling into the trap. The Cavaliers entered last night’s game having lost five in a row by an average of 22.2 points per defeat. In each of those five losses, the Cavs had given up more than 100 points. Finally, Cleveland coach Byron Scott pulled out the defibrillator […]
The Korver Conundrum
As recent, disappointing performances against top-tier opponents Orlando and Boston underscore, the Bulls have a number of weaknesses which need to be addressed. The most glaring is a lack of consistent outside shooting, which, as was the case in the Celtics game, is amplified to excruciating levels when Derrick Rose underperforms (or is contained). A […]
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.
‘Melo rumors swirling again
It appears the New York Knicks are still working — and working hard — on prying Carmelo Anthony away from the Denver Nuggets. According to ESPN’s Chris Sheridan (citing an unnamed source): “The Knicks got back in on the bidding about two weeks ago after Anthony made it known to the Nuggets that he would not […]

Kyle Korver: Team Chemistry = Good
From SLAM: “I think we’re going to be really good. We didn’t land the “big name” pieces, but we got a lot of pieces that fit really well together and at the end of the day I think chemistry is something that’s really overlooked and I think it’s going to be one of our strongest […]
