Chicago Bulls

Pssst. Hey! You! Guess what? The Philadelphia 76ers are not the worst team in the NBA right now. True freaking story. Also, pssst! The Chicago Bulls amnestied Carlos Boozer and somehow regressed on the defensive end. Ignoring every other piece of context—Pau Gasol’s arrival, Derrick Rose’s return, Nikola Mirotic’s and Doug McDermott’s inexperience—that’s pretty funny. [...]

Not signing Jimmy Butler to a contract extension before the Halloween deadline is going to wind up costing the Bulls. A lot. Millions of dollars. Tens of millions of dollars, actually. Rather than sign the extension Chicago was slinging, the 25-year-old, who is averaging career highs in points (21.6), rebounds (5.6), assists (3.5) and field-goal [...]

The NBA’s Eastern Conference is ugly. The NBA’s Western Conference, meanwhile, is pretty flipping fantastic. This will now conclude the portion of the article where we talk about anything besides the 76ers’ suckitude. Well, not really. There are loads of other things to discuss. Like the Warriors being incredible. And the Grizzlies drinking from the Warriors’ Gatorade [...]

There’s a lot for the NBA to be thankful for this time of year. Stephen Curry’s bombs; Marc Gasol’s everything; the Mavericks offense; the Kings’ illogical record; Jimmy Butler’s surge; Anthony Davis’ god mode; San Antonio being San Antonio; Damian Lillard’s cold-bloodedness; and so much more. Truth told, there is also plenty the league could [...]

Holy crap, the Warriors are good. I could stop there, because that’s all you need to know. They’re taking over the NBA one game at a time, and assuming health, won’t be stopping anytime soon. Nor will I, because you deserve more than some pre-rankings Warriors-loving. So with that in mind, here’s a choppy portrait [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

It’s not what the Chicago Bulls -or their fan base- wanted to hear after Thursday nights 100-93 victory over the Toronto Raptors, but it seems to be the harsh reality facing this team. Star point guard Derrick Rose is injured again. He suffered a left hamstring injury with less than two minutes remaining in the [...]

The 6-2 Chicago Bulls have turned heads in the NBA during this young season for variety of reasons… A stronger starting lineup, more offensive production, a deeper bench, better depth, and the always sophisticated defensive system of head coach Tom Thibodeau. One of the reasons why the Bulls have been successful in these areas is [...]

Allow me to tell you a secret. Injuries suck. The NBA has been a hotbed for injuries and sad storylines early on, and it sucks and blows simultaneously. So, too, does the whole early-season confusion. There is so much inconsistency around the Association this time of year. Good teams aren’t good, bad teams aren’t bad, [...]

The Chicago Bulls had to do some roster shuffling again on Friday night, but it didn’t appear to effect the team what so ever. In the Bulls 118-115 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, one player returned to the starting lineup, while another sat out again. Center Joakim Noah was back on the floor after missing [...]
