There was a lot of news this last week about the Chicago Bulls and whether they should trade Luol Deng. Among the most intriguing names to pop up is Dion Waiters, the disgruntled shooting guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Determining whether the Bulls should make such a move is not an easy one either way. […]
Hey, who knew that basketball could be fun? When last I wrote about the Chicago Bulls, they’d just finished losing to the Orlando Magic at home, barely scoring points and just looking bad. Since then, their offense has returned to general competence under the leadership of Floor General DJ Augustin — more on him in […]
Last night the Chicago Bulls won their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers 100-84. Yes, you read that correctly. The Bulls, winner of only one game in their previous eight tries, actually WON a game. After how bad that team has looked against some of the worst teams the NBA has to offer in recent weeks, […]
It was a slog, but the Bulls prevailed after pulling away in the waning moments of the 4th quarter. After taking a 45-36 lead into halftime (yuck), the Bulls briefly were in danger of giving up the lead in the third before turning on the jets (read: actually hitting shots) late in the fourth. […]
The Bulls face their second division opponent of the season and attempt to get their season back on track tonight when they host Cleveland. This is a tale of two point guards. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The Cavs, fresh off a home and home versus the […]
Is this what Jackson Browne was thinking when he wrote Running on Empty? Is this what Michael Ray Richardson meant when he infamously said: “The ship be sinking”? Because the Bulls are in a serious funk. There’s no denying it anymore. After going 12-4 in January — which no doubt helped in getting Joakim Noah […]
The Good: The Bulls won their third game in a row and stayed perfect in 2013 with a blowout win over the Cavaliers. Chicago lost the first quarter 30-22 and then outscored Cleveland 96-62 the rest of the way. The Bulls — who scored at least 30 points in the final three quarters — established […]
The Bulls climbed a game over .500 with a solid win over a woeful team. Here’s how it happened. Marco Belinelli Blew Up: Given his 39 percent shooting and Player Efficiency Rating of 9.9 — both career-lows if you toss out his rookie season — it’s reasonable to say that Belinelli has had a difficult […]
This season has been full of “first time since the Michael Jordan era” moments, and last night was no exception, as the Bulls locked up the number one seed in the Eastern Conference for the first time since 1997-98. I’m not sure what to say about the game. The Bulls controlled the action without going […]
