As the Chicago Bulls vainly struggled to score against the Sacramento Kings (ranked 28th in defensive rating) it was hard not to think, “They really need Carmelo Anthony.” Certainly, his multifaceted scoring abilities would be a great boon to an offense that often looks like a clogged heart working overtime to futilely pump thickened blood through plaque-covered […]

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 […]
DJ Augustin is enjoying one of the best seasons of his career. Since joining Chicago he’s posted 14.0 points per game on 43% shooting and 41.9% three point shooting, 5.9 assists per game, and a 17.3 PER- all numbers that are in line with or better than his career highs. At this point he’s earned […]

So, that wasn’t much fun. The Chicago Bulls opened February with the kind of flat, ugly effort we really haven’t seen from them in the last month or so, losing on the road to the New Orleans Pelicans, 88-79. Let’s just get this over with and figure out what we learned. 1. If the Bulls […]

Shortly after trading Luol Deng the flood gates holding back all of the rumors about the Chicago Bulls were opened. We were treated to talks of Kirk Hinrich and Mike Dunleavy being on the trading block and teams actively pursuing both players. Time to add another name to the list: Taj Gibson. According to Joe […]
Maybe we shouldn’t get excited about a win over a team missing four of its best six players, as the San Antonio Spurs were last night, especially with the Chicago Bulls operating at what passes for full strength with Derrick Rose out of action. But then again, the Spurs are notorious — not unlike the […]
