1. What are your thoughts on the story this week about Noah recruiting Carmelo Anthony? Peter Owen: Noah’s non-denial of the conversation – via a great teenage girl impression – at least confirms the talks happened. Whether they were talking about it at length with Noah strongly selling the city and the team or if […]
Since Derrick Rose tore his right medial meniscus against the Portland Trailblazers, the Chicago Bulls’ level of play has been more flat than day old soda left out in the sun. Losses to the Utah Jazz, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New Orleans Pelicans made one of Tom Thibodeau’s catch phrase “have enough to win” seem like […]
Tonight’s game is home for the Bulls against the two time NBA Champions, three time Eastern Conference Champions, and hated “rivals” of the Bulls, the Miami Heat. I put rivals in quotes, because really, the Bulls haven’t done much to make that rivalry a real thing. Much of that has been bad luck, with injuries killing […]
Tonight was an exciting night for many basketball fans as the new NBA season tipped off. To headline opening night, the Miami Heat hosted the Chicago Bulls. There were many noteworthy stories associated with tonight’s game: Derrick Rose’s return, the Heat getting their title rings, the Heat starting their quest for three titles in a […]
The Chicago Bulls 2012-2013 campaign has officially come to a close. Now that we are weeks removed from the end of the season and have had time to be reflective, it’s time to take a look back at the performances of the members of this Bulls squad and brief look ahead at the future. The […]
The Bulls went into their do-or-die Game 5 in the Miami both with and without the usual cast of characters. Derrick Rose missed the game and by extension missed the entire season, leading at least one writer to describe his much hyped “Return” packaged by Adidas as a hoax. On top of that melodrama, Kirk […]
In pretty much a must-win game, Chicago put in its worst performance of the year, as well as one of the worst postseason games in the franchise’s history. Now they find themselves in a true must-win situation, facing elimination as they hit the road. You can’t blame the Bulls too much, I guess, considering the […]
The word that best describes the 2012-13 Chicago Bulls is resilient. If you follow this team, you know what they’ve endured. The season-long absence (and continued distraction) of Derrick Rose. The dismemberment of the Bench Mob. Injuries (and re-injuries) to key players. Long minutes. Little rest. Everything short of hordes of locusts and meteor storms. […]
MVP (Most Valuable Player): LeBron James did what an MVP does. He recorded 27 points (9-20), seven rebounds, eight assists and two steals. The Bulls as a team recorded just 12 assists, although Chicago only had 19 baskets—so not many chances to get an assist. LVP (Least Valuable Player): No one player earned this. It […]
On the defensive side of the ball, Chicago forced the Heat into exactly what they wanted: midrange jumpers in Game 3. The only problem is, Miami didn’t get the memo that they were supposed to miss those shots—or at least not all of Miami did. Tom Thibodeau’s game plan worked against LeBron James, who went […]
