For years the Bulls have touted 2014 as the year the team would finally have spending flexibility. But with the summer approaching, management has thrown cold water on the possibility of bringing over long-awaited Real Madrid star Nikola Mirotic. With a franchise so well-versed in bracing its fans for disappointment, that got us at Bulls […]

Bulls Fall to Wolves 95-86
Tonight’s loss to the Timberwolves was basically a glass ceiling game. Once Minnesota took the lead in the first quarter, they pretty much led by 4-12 points the entire game. While the Bulls never “let go of the rope”, as Thibodeau would say, it never seemed likely that would get over the hump and take […]
Wolves at Bulls Preview
On the surface, the 22-21 Bulls hosting a 21-22 Wolves team that sits in 11th place in the loaded Western Conference looks like a very winnable matchup. The narrative around Minnesota is that they’re a below .500 team that struggles to finish close games, with a frustrated superstar and an overrated point guard whose […]

Chicago Bulls 98, Cleveland Cavaliers 87: What did we learn?
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? […]
The 2014 Plan, Part One: The Case For Carmelo Anthony
For years the Bulls have touted 2014 as the year the team would finally have spending flexibility. But with the summer approaching, management has thrown cold water on the possibility of bringing over long-awaited Real Madrid star Nikola Mirotic.

See, Tom Thibodeau’s offense isn’t completely terrible!
Tom Thibodeau catches a lot of heat for his offensive coaching. Known for his defensive acumen, his offense tends to be fairly unsuccessful. Some of that is personnel-based, but it’s hard to point to evidence that Thibs is an offensive genius. That said, he does have his moments. His SLOB (SideLine Out of Bounds) plays […]
Chicago Bulls 103, Philadelphia 76ers 78: What did we learn?
It’s been so long since the Chicago Bulls legitimately blew someone out that I’ve kind of forgotten how to react to it. Nonetheless, last night’s 103-78 win over the Philadelphia 76ers was definitely fun. Blowouts are fun, as long as you’re on the winning side. Anyway, the Sixers are bad and they like it that […]
