The Chicago Bulls, should they win their final three games — and since those three games are against the New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Charlotte Bobcats, that seems rather likely — will have won 50 games for the third time in four years under Tom Thibodeau, one of which came in a 66-game season. This after […]
Last night, Luol Deng took the court for the first time in a game involving the Chicago Bulls while wearing the other uniform. It was weird, even as the Bulls beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-87. Remember when we all assumed the Cavs would make the playoffs and the Bulls would drop out after the trade? […]

For those of you asleep at the time, a bomb was dropped on the Chicago Bulls fan base as news broke that the Chicago Bulls traded Luol Deng to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Andrew Bynum and three future draft picks. As of writing this no additional moves have been made but it is heavily expected […]
There was a lot of news this last week about the Chicago Bulls and whether they should trade Luol Deng. Among the most intriguing names to pop up is Dion Waiters, the disgruntled shooting guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Determining whether the Bulls should make such a move is not an easy one either way. […]
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 […]
