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 […]
This was a familiar tale for the Chicago Bulls as yet again the defense couldn’t bail out shockingly poor offense. Taj Gibson scored a career-high 32 points and it didn’t really matter – no other Bull scored more than 16 points. Gibson finished 13-16 from the field. Chicago shot 35-78 from the floor including 4-19 […]
The Chicago Bulls used a barrage from behind the three-point line and a strong second half to blow past the Minnesota Timberwolves en route to their sixth consecutive win. Joakim Noah was the standout performer – how many times has that been written this season – as he recorded his fourth triple-double of the season […]
1. What are your thoughts on the story this week about Noah recruiting Carmelo Anthony? Peter Owen: Noah’s non-denial of the conversation – via a great teenage girl impression – at least confirms the talks happened. Whether they were talking about it at length with Noah strongly selling the city and the team or if […]
The Bulls went into their do-or-die Game 5 in the Miami both with and without the usual cast of characters. Derrick Rose missed the game and by extension missed the entire season, leading at least one writer to describe his much hyped “Return” packaged by Adidas as a hoax. On top of that melodrama, Kirk […]
The word that best describes the 2012-13 Chicago Bulls is resilient. If you follow this team, you know what they’ve endured. The season-long absence (and continued distraction) of Derrick Rose. The dismemberment of the Bench Mob. Injuries (and re-injuries) to key players. Long minutes. Little rest. Everything short of hordes of locusts and meteor storms. […]
The Bulls haven’t been thrilled by the officiating so far in their second-round playoff match-up with the Miami Heat. After losing the fiercely contested Game 3, Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau spoke out about it. Said Thibs: “When you play this team you have to have a lot of mental, physical and emotional toughness. Things aren’t […]
Clearly, the Heat were not pleased about losing Game 1. As a result, Chicago fans were treated to one of the worst debacles in franchise history: a 37-point loss in which the Bulls were -13 on the boards, -18 in fast break points, -21 in points off turnovers, -25 in field goal percentage and -38 in […]
If you’re currently experiencing an intense and overwhelming feeling of stunned amazement at what they Bulls are doing in these playoffs, don’t be alarmed. It indicates only that you are still sane. You know the drill by now. The Bulls are a depleted team. No Derrick Rose. Kirk Hinrich is day-to-day with a bum calf. […]
I freely admit it. I didn’t think the Bulls would win their Game 7 showdown against the Nets in Brooklyn. I was wrong. Obviously. The Bulls continue to defy the odds. They’ve been doing it for well over a year now. I should know better than to doubt them at this point, but in some […]
