Over the last few years, Derrick Rose’s relationship with the Chicago Bulls organization hasn’t been what you would call strong. Or even remotely good. Things seemed to take a wrong turn back in 2012-13, when Rose was actually medically cleared to play but ended up sitting out the entire season anyway. Rumors of mutual frustration [...]

When new Chicago Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg relegated Joakim Noah to bench duty, one of two things happened. Some brushed it off. Noah has always been a team player, and the Bulls are stacked with frontcourt talent. He would understand. Others began to panic, or at least wonder if there would be any repercussions, [...]

The NBA served up three appetizing games to kick off its 70th season. One of those included the Chicago Bulls playing host to the LeBron James’ Cleveland Cavaliers at the United Center. As most expected, the match was a really competitive one. Both teams never made it easy for the other as the game went [...]

Fred Hoiberg, it seems, is not afraid to bench Joakim Noah. When the Chicago Bulls poached Hoiberg from Iowa State, we all knew the offense was going to change. Hoiberg incorporates more movement and a little more speed. There would be more shooting. A lot more shooting. The kind of shooting you can’t get by [...]

And while said mask may be intended to be worn only for a short time, until [...]

Tom Thibodeau is not joining the Utah Jazz’s coaching staff. Repeat: Tom Thibodeau is not joining the Utah Jazz’s coaching staff. He is, however, helping them out. From Jody Genessy of the Deseret News: Turns out, Thibodeau is in town at the request of the Jazz. Thibodeau isn’t here to be added to the Jazz’s [...]

The Chicago Bulls will begin their 2015-16 campaign on Tuesday, October 27. And they may not have Derrick Rose in the lineup. Rose is still recovering from a fractured left orbital, and the timetable behind his return is not conducive to an opening night appearance. As Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg told reporters, per ESPN.com’s [...]

Yeah, so, the Jimmy Butler-Derrick Rose feud that isn’t needs to die. Sure, NBA rumor mills are relentless, and the Chicago Bulls’ dynamic duo, which has yet to spend 1,500 total minutes on the court since Butler entered the league, is not above that ruthlessness. But, like, come on. Enough speculation has been presented and [...]
