The Bulls got their first win of the preseason on Saturday night in Milwaukee, though as everyone knows, the score is among the least meaningful parts of a preseason game. Here are some thoughts on the players and where they stand so far: -Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Pau Gasol, Jimmy Butler and Kirk Hinrich all […]
If you find yourself missing the NFL these days, then hopefully you caught the Bulls 102-90 win over the Bucks. The refs were terribly inconsistent, leaving both teams frustrated as to what constituted a foul. The game wasn’t full-on chippy, but both sides certainly got a little agitated, with a some verbal sparring and D.J. […]
Everyone knows the Bucks stink. Like, really stink. Still two games worse than the intentionally incompetent Sixers, the Bucks have dropped 11 of their last 12 amid a road-heavy schedule. Everything has gone wrong for them this year. Heck, just today Larry Sanders drew a five game suspension for marijuana, adding to his worst case […]
Tom Thibodeau sees your cries for tanking. He is unimpressed. Now, to be fair, the Chicago Bulls were always going to beat the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bucks are now 7-28, good for worst in the NBA. But after the 81-72 win, Thibs clarified his position on winning. Literally the definition of #ThibsBall RT @NickFriedell: Thibs […]
The Bulls headed north to face the Milwaukee Bucks Friday night in a Central Division matchup of two teams trending in different directions. Chicago ran out 81-72 winners, despite a 12-point fourth quarter. In a game the Bulls led for the majority. Carlos Boozer led in scoring with 19 points to go with 13 rebounds […]
The Bulls displayed some much-needed resilience Tuesday night and will look to rack up a seventh victory in nine games as their mini-resurgence gathers pace. They travel the short distance north on the I94 to face the Milwaukee Bucks. A win in Milwaukee paired with Washington losing on the road in Indianapolis would result in […]
With his Chicago Bulls down 3 points to the Milwaukee Bucks with 10 seconds left, Tom Thibodeau reached into his bag for one of his favorite SLOB (SideLine Out of Bounds) plays. Unfortunately, the Bulls came away with no points. How did that happen, you ask? Simple: the Bucks made a nice defensive play to […]
The Chicago Bulls out-tanked the Milwaukee Bucks at the United Center last night, falling 78-74 in a battle of majorly depleted teams. As it turns out, the Bulls have problems putting the ball in the basket when they’re missing Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah. Who knew? Anyway. On to the newest […]
The Good: Despite the absence of Carlos Boozer due to a sore hamstring, the Bulls opened a six-game road trip with a convincing victory over a division rival. And unlike their two losses to the Bucks earlier this season, they managed to build a big lead and keep it. The Bulls outhustled and outworked the […]
The Good: Led by Carlos Boozer (22 points, 8-for-15, 11 rebounds), Chicago had another strong night on the inside, outscoring the Milwaukee 56-34 in the paint. The Bulls were definitely aggressive in attacking the basket. They converted more field goals at the rim (24) than the Bucks attempted (20). The Bad: The Bulls missed 18 […]
