Chicago’s win Saturday against the previously-unbeaten Pacers was built on the kind of play Chicago was expected to dominate with before the season began. They worked hard on defense […]
The Bad: The Bulls scored only 14 points on 4-for-15 shooting in the third quarter and gave up 30 points in the fourth to make this game a little more “exciting” than it needed to be. The Good: Luol Deng (31 minutes, 12 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists) returned after missing five straight games with […]
There was the home loss to a New Orleans Hornets team that ranks 29th in both PPG and Defensive Rating. Then there was the 21-point road defeat by the Los Angeles Clippers that began a three-game losing streak.

Michael Jordan thinks Derrick Rose is the “MVP of the season.” Bulls chairman Jerry Reinsdorf believes that, as long as they stay healthy, these Bulls could win “at least four championships.” Members of the Celtics got to spend time with Barack Obama on Tuesday night before a fundraiser at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and the President wanted […]

“You can’t leave him open. Everybody knows he can’t do anything else but shoot. When he shoots, he shoots it well. You have to respect him as a shooter. He can’t really do anything else, but if you let him sit out there and shoot he’s going to kill you.” That’s what Charlotte’s Stephen Jackson […]

Ugh. Here are the top 10 things I hated about this loss: 10. The Revenge of Tyrus Thomas: Heading into last night’s game, Thomas’ highest averages for PPG (14.3) and RPG (8.3) against any team were against the Bulls. Seriously. Check his career splits.
