Chicago Bulls

Historically great NBA teams tend to downplay being historically great or having a shot to be historically great. Not the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors. It didn’t take long for people to start talking about them surpassing the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins. The Warriors won 67 tilts last year, were talking about winning [...]

First Dirk Nowitzki, now Derrick Rose. The NBA’s superstars just won’t stop doling out the feel goodz to Kobe Bryant. Ahead of the Chicago Bulls’ thorough drubbing of the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night, Rose, like Nowitzki before him, showered Kobe with the utmost praise, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com: “Kobe, he’s someone that [...]

Joakim Noah, by all appearances, has played his last game with the Chicago Bulls. The soon-to-be 31-year-old is done for the season after undergoing shoulder surgery and will be an unrestricted free agent at campaign’s end. He doesn’t fit head coach Fred Hoiberg’s offensive model, and the presences of Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic (currently injured), [...]

Let’s ask the question that’s been burning a hole in our brains for months. Are the San Antonio Spurs as good, if not better, than the Golden State Warriors? No. No, they are not. Golden State proved as much during its 120-90 romping of San Antonio on Monday night, setting the stage for our power [...]

Half of the 2015-16 NBA season is in the books. Pat yourself on the back. You’ve done it. You’ve watched, you’ve cheered, you’ve moaned. You’ve wondered why it’s taken the Suns so damn long to sell off Markieff Morris. You’ve pondered the meaning of life whenever the Spurs or Warriors take the floor. You’ve lamented [...]

The reigning NBA champion, historically good Golden State Warriors are back. Because, apparently, they left. Which is effing absurd. Draymond Green offered some pointed words following the Warriors’ shellacking of the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night that should terrify the rest of the NBA. From the Washington Post‘s Tim Bontemps: “We kind of have that [...]

Joakim Noah’s shoulder injury puts the Chicago Bulls in a tricky situation. The 30-year-old center needs to undergo surgery on his left shoulder and will miss four to six months, ending his 2015-16 season. Joakim Noah is slated for unrestricted free agency this summer and will most likely leave. A breakup between he and the [...]

The Chicago Bulls are apparently sending a message to the rest of the NBA. It reads: “Let’s make a deal!” With a crazy logjam in the frontcourt, the Bulls have started to gauge the values of bigs Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah around the league, according to Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher, as transcribed [...]

January 13, 1999 is a day that will live in infamy for Bulls fans, NBA fans and sports fan alike as Michael Jordan retired from the Chicago Bulls after 13 seasons for the second and what we thought would be the last time. This was during the NBA lockout of 1999 in which the season [...]

It has to suck playing in the NBA’s Western Conference. Unless you’re the Warriors or Spurs. Then it’s probably pretty chill. For those other 13 squads? Yeah, it sucks. Especially for the good-to-great contingents. The Clippers. The Thunder. The Mavericks, too. They scrap and they claw and they win, and yet no matter what they [...]
