The Brooklyn Nets are not a good basketball team. When healthy, the Chicago Bulls will be a tough out for any team in the Eastern Conference. These two statements were rammed home in a lopsided affair at the Barclays Center Monday night. The Bulls overcame a sluggish start to completely outclass the Nets en route […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers had one of those nights where every kind of crazy shot was falling against the Bulls. The Cavs hit a ton of ridiculous shots and enjoyed hot shooting across their rotation as they took advantage of a number of Chicago’s mistakes and lapses. Kyrie Irving hit a buzzer-beating three to end the […]
The Bulls blew the Toronto Raptors out of their own building Wednesday night, shooting a season-high 61% to turn a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit into a 13-point road victory and complete a season sweep of the Raptors. The incredible shooting was the Bulls’ best since November 2nd, 2012 (63.8%) and was the catalyst for them overcoming […]
If you didn’t watch this game and elected to do something else, congratulations. If you did and were doing it for some sort of enjoyment, take a look at your life choices. The Bulls may have won 104-95 in Philadelphia to end a 3-game losing streak and win their 40th game of the season, but […]
The Washington Wizards are in the midst of an implosion that began weeks ago, but the 97-92 victory a depleted Bulls unit toughed out at the United Center Tuesday night will go a long way in restoring some confidence to a team rocked by injuries in the past seven days. Without Derrick Rose (knee), Jimmy […]
It’s been a while since our last 5-0n-5, where five of our writing staff weigh in on five pressing questions about the Bulls or the greater NBA. Given the utterly depressing news that broke late Tuesday night concerning Derrick Rose and yet another knee injury likely to rob him of several weeks or more of […]
The mark of some of the league’s elite teams – the San Antonio Spurs of the past decade, the Lebron-era Miami Heat – is their ability to flip a switch and go from pedestrian, average basketball and pull away to clinch ball games. The Bulls followed their lead in using a strong fourth quarter to […]
Rare is the Bulls game that is decided by the start of the fourth quarter. Blowouts in either direction this season have seen either Chicago hang around until deep in the fourth quarter or fail to properly close out poor teams. Saturday night in New Orleans was not one of those occassions. With Anthony Davis […]
It’s amazing how much winning can do for the attitude surrounding a team. With a 102-98 road win in Dallas, the Bulls completed a brutal back-to-back set against San Antonio and on the road against the Mavericks unbeaten. Contrast that to the impending sense of dread spreading throughout Chicago’s media and the team’s fans in […]
Make no mistake. This was the Bulls’ worst 48-minute performance of the season. The Utah Jazz left Chicago with a win Wednesday night after the Bulls proved it was possible to lose a game in a more wretched fashion than their 20-point blowout loss to Brooklyn to end 2014. The Bulls set season lows in […]
