Chicago Bulls

As the Chicago Bulls prepare for their Friday night tilt against the Philadelphia 76ers, the team has released it’s latest injury report. Despite playing with dual sprained ankles and scoring 13 points against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, guard Derrick Rose is once again listed as “questionable” because of said ankles. He was listed the [...]

With the basketball world -and more specifically the City of Chicago- speculating about the health (or lack there of) of Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose, the 2008 number one overall draft pick stepped back onto the court on Wednesday evening after missing the last two games. Many had questioned how effective Rose would be this [...]

You guys. It wasn’t a dream. The NBA is still back. Shhh. Stop fist-pumping and -bumping and -twerking so loudly. You might scare the regular season away. There. That’s better. The first week of the 2014-15 season was crazy. There were plenty of exciting games, and even more devastating injuries.  There were surprise wins, and [...]

Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. The NBA is back. Like, really back. Not summer-league back. Not FIBA World Cup back. Not training camp back. Not preseason back. Regular-season back. The Hoop Doctors’ totally awesome, not-at-all restrained power rankings back. That’s right. After a months-long hiatus—during which time yours [...]

A taste of the much-awaited commencement of the 2014-15 NBA season was in showcase awhile ago when the Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls faced off against one another.

Ray Allen needs to, you know, make a damn decision already. Retire or sign on for a 19th NBA season. Do something. Anything. And whatever you’re going to do, do it soon. This isn’t how he should be going out. Never mind that if he does, in fact, retire, he’ll be depriving fans and peers [...]

Did you know Derrick Rose has a crystal ball? Me either. Confidence isn’t something the Chicago Bulls point guard lacks. Not out in the open at least. Through two major, ceiling-crippling, season-sacking injuries, he’s always spoke of returning to dominance. To call him upbeat would be a stretch, since he’s extremely stoic and often stone-faced. [...]

The Chicago Bulls have added experience into their roster by re-signing 16-year veteran center Nazr Mohammed for this coming season. Mohammed, 37, has played for 8 different teams in his entire career and the last two seasons were spent with Bulls—he averaged 2.0 points and 2.6 rebounds with a limited amount of playing time. But [...]

Everything and anything about Derrick Rose continues to incite strong responses. When he struggles, the walls are closing in, his knees crumbling like cake, his future dark and dreary, toeing the line of hopeless. When he thrives—even if only for one game, one play or a warmup dunk—clouds part, birds sing, the harrowing reality of [...]
