The once-hot Bulls are now on a bit of a skid, having lost three of their last five games. With a stiff challenge against the Rockets on the docket, Chicago will be hard pressed to keep up its impressive trend of winning after losses. The Bulls have staved off losing back-to-back games 11 of the […]

The 2014 Plan, Part Seven: Pacific Grim
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 […]
The Case for Tony Snell
When the Chicago Bulls were on the clock back in June 2013, with the 20th pick of the draft, I expected them to take a big man. I was hoping for Gorgui Dieng. Instead, they opted for another wing, that being Tony Snell. If you follow me on Twitter, or if you’ve read much of […]
Let us all bow at the altar of Joakim Noah
What is there to say about Joakim Noah that hasn’t already been said? No, seriously, what is there? We know all about his insistence on outworking anyone and everyone he’s ever met. We know about the brilliance he displays as the hub of Tom Thibodeau’s defense. We know he’s almost single-handedly kept the Chicago Bulls’ […]

Bulls Fail to Sweep Season Series Over Nets, Fall 96-80
Sometimes they’re the Bad-A** Bulls, but tonight they were just the Bad Bulls. Jeff Van Gundy noted Chicago’s win over New York yesterday wasn’t a fourth quarter blowout, but rather a game that was decided in the first quarter, and the same could be said of tonight’s game. The first quarter was a trainwreck, primarily […]
Bulls at Nets Preview
The teams keep changing but the Bulls seem to have the Nets number in the Brooklyn era. They took three of four meetings in last year’s regular season and obviously won last year’s memorable seven game battle in the first round of the playoffs. They’ve thumped the Nets by at least 15 in both games […]
Let the Jimmer-mania commence!
According to a report from USA Today’s Sam Amick, soon-to-be free agent and BYU legend Jimmer Fredette intends to sign with the Chicago Bulls if and when he clears waivers. Signing Jimmer potentially could complicate the Bulls’ efforts to stay out of the luxury tax, but the Bulls reportedly are willing to risk it. This, […]
The 2014 Plan, Part Five: Why Nikola Mirotic Might Not Be The Final Piece
Just about every Bulls fan who’s seen highlights or Avi’s breakdowns of Nikola Mirotic’s game has to be excited about the prospect of Chicago bringing him over from Spain. He’s the prototypical stretch four, all the rage in the NBA these days. He’s young, having just turned 23, and should be reasonably priced for his […]
