Bulls look to swing momentum at 6pm on NBATV/CSN

Bulls look to swing momentum at 6pm on NBATV/CSN
The Chicago Bulls refused to go away in game five. They continued to play the same brand of basketball they did the previous two days, but they were even more effective in stopping Philly's defense. There's no playing for pride now. Now they're playing to advance. They're playing for their playoff lives... Read more »

Bulls provide at least one more night of joy

Let it be said at the end of this series, regardless of the outcome, that the Chicago Bulls did not quit. They did not throw in the towel, they did not drop the rope. They've had some terrible shooting, poor coaching decisions, bad calls go against them, horrific luck with injuries, and weaknesses exposed, but they haven't given up or stopped believing...

Chicago's last stand 8:30 on NBA TV / CSN

The Chicago Bulls pulled Philly into their game twice in a row in Philadelphia, but they came up empty both times. Joakim Noah is out for game five officially and almost certainly out for the rest of the series if the Bulls manage to continue it. This team is still saying the right things, they're still playing hard, they haven't quit. Can they give Chicago one last good feeling before the season ends... Read more »

Bulls don't have the horses

Tom Thibodeau keeps saying the next man has to step up. They have enough to win. There's not much else he can say, but he's wrong. The team played hard in the past two losses. They didn't give up. They didn't allow a runaway train of easy looks at the basket, but in both games they simply couldn't score enough when it mattered... Read more »

Bulls at 76ers noon on ABC - Now or never looks more like never

The Chicago Bulls take on the 76ers in game four of their first round matchup today at noon. If they drop this game and fall down 1-3 then it's all but over, that is, if you don't feel it's all but over already. Adding to the misery of the Bulls loss of Derrick Rose for the next 6-9 months due to ACL surgery the Bulls lost Joakim Noah to what looked like a severe ankle sprain in game three... Read more »

Bulls at 76ers Game 3 at 7pm on ESPN2/CSN

Bulls at 76ers Game 3 at 7pm on ESPN2/CSN
Without Derrick Rose, the Bulls have quickly been dumped by the NBA as a team to watch, banished to ESPN2 in favor of the Boston/Atlanta series. Hard to blame them really, but it's just one more sign of disrespect from the league to add on to the disrespect from opponents. Chicago needs to stand up and smack Philly in the mouth to get some of that respect back... Read more »

Punched in the gut

Punched in the gut
I had hoped the UC would come out rocking. I would hope the fans would unite with the players left. I had hoped the Bulls could put together a team game to beat up on the 76ers. However, after a strong first half, the Bulls became as flat as their fans. Philly started shooting ridiculously above their level, the loose balls all rolled their way, and Chicago couldn't throw the ball in the ocean... Read more »

Bulls vs 76ers Round 1 Game 2 7:00 on TNT/CSN - Take control

Bulls vs 76ers Round 1 Game 2 7:00 on TNT/CSN - Take control
The Chicago Bulls take their first step in moving on without Derrick Rose, and we'll get a good taste of what the team is made of tonight. Does the team fold under the pressure of knowing Rose is gone for the season or do they rise to the occasion and defeat the 76ers... Read more »

Bulls win the battle, but likely lost the war

The Chicago Bulls blew out the Philadelphia 76ers, and we could break down the great play by virtually every person on the team, but only one real significant thing happened in this game. Derrick Rose took a flying leap with about a minute remaining. His knee buckled, and went down to the floor in agonizing pain grasping at the side of his knee... Read more »

Bulls vs 76ers game 1 at noon on TNT/CSN

The 76ers wanted the Bulls, and now they've got them. Let's see if Evan Turner can back up his words about the 76ers competing in this series. There seems to be this thought out there that the Bulls have struggled with the 76ers despite the fact they're 4-2 against them over the past two seasons... Read more »
