Chicago Bulls

Our power rankings introduction is, for one week only, about to change. Most of the time, we wax distasteful snark that recaps all of the NBA’s major happenings over the past week, an approach aimed at teaching a crash course in almost everything you need to know. This week, though, you only need to know one [...]

I’ve got a secret. Can you keep it? Cool, because here it is: The Warriors are fire. Crazy, right? But not really. Some other crazily un-crazy things to consider: The Spurs have been in “God” mode since 1997; the Cavaliers are the most disappointing title contender at the moment; the Pacers do not miss Roy [...]

Additional offensive help is not on the way for the Chicago Bulls. Already bogged down by subpar play at the point guard position (sup, Derrick Rose) and in the frontcourt (sup, Pau Gasol, Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah), the Bulls definitely need an offensive boost. Though they rank as one of the league’s best three-point [...]

The Bulls have been the sexy pick out East for quite some time now, but that appears to be vanishing with each passing year. Slowly, core guys like Luol Deng leave, Derrick Rose sustains major injuries, and coaches turnover. And who can forget Derrick Rose telling Bulls media during Media Day that he’s “preparing” for [...]

Back in 2007, two years removed from his divorce with Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant wasn’t happy with the Los Angeles Lakers and demanded a trade. That much is common knowledge. It’s been talked about and re-spun three times over for nearly a decade, and it’s bound to be rehashed now that the Black Mamba plans [...]

More than a month into the 2015-16 NBA regular season, everything is just as we thought it would be. LOL, jk. Much about the league’s landscape does make sense. The Warriors are godlike. The Spurs are right behind them. No one in the Eastern Conference can touch the Cavaliers. Not much else makes sense, though. [...]

Come one, come all, you’re just in time to take part in the first NBA power rankings of the holiday season! This is big stuff, I know, so we’ll get right to it. A lot is happening now that the 2015-16 season is hitting its stride. The Warriors are still the Warriors; the Pacers are [...]

It seems that someone forgot to tell the Houston Rockets that the NBA’s 2015-16 regular season is underway. The early part of 2015-16 has no doubt been weird. Some of the usual juggernauts are juggernauting, but this year’s landscape is rife with early-season underachievers, the fast-plummeting Rockets being among them. Can Houston regain its 2014-15 [...]

Here we go again, only less so. Derrick Rose left during the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bulls’ 96-95 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Monday night with what his team called a left ankle sprain, per ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: Bulls PR says Derrick Rose is out for the game because of a left ankle [...]

Golden State Warriors assistant coach-turned-interim head coach Luke Walton has a message for his team. Don’t get bored. It’s a message he delivered specifically during the Warriors’129-116 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday night, but it’s also a sentiment they should carry with them as the season progresses. Here’s what Walton had to say, with [...]
