What will Joakim get out of working with Kareem?

Kind of an older story now, but according to Shams Charina (ChicagoNow blogger, though this one on RealGM), Joakim Noah intends to work out with Kareem Abdul Jabbar this off-season. Just how much is there to gain from the pairing? It's hard to say. Sometimes the greatest players don't make the greatest teachers, but when it comes to big men, I think they can help significantly... Read more »

The Bulls need to push Deng to play in the Olympics

The Bulls need to push Deng to play in the Olympics
Wait what? They need to push him INTO playing? Yes. Yes they do. They need to put on a full court press about how excited they are that he's playing for Great Britain and lend him their full support. Unfortunately, they're intending the opposite... Read more »

C.J. Watson will [and should] come back next year

C.J. Watson will [and should] come back next year
C.J. Watson ended the Bulls season by grasping defeat out of the jaws of victory. Bulls fans go over the play in their mind over and over again wondering why he didn't keep the ball. However, no one feels worse than Watson over his gaff. He knows what it cost his team. He knows they'd be playing today had he merely attempted to dribble out the clock... Read more »

Are the Bulls better off without Derrick Rose?

Are the Bulls better off without Derrick Rose?
HAHAHAH, no. Look, I know the Bulls lost a game with Derrick Rose to the Knicks only to win fairly easily without him a couple nights later. As we all know, any given day something different can happen. That's why two teams can play a seven game series and go to seven games even with the same players suiting up... Read more »

Do Rose's struggles in return prove the Hamilton signing is officially a bust?

Do Rose's struggles in return prove the Hamilton signing is officially a bust?
Derrick Rose returned to action for Chicago and immediately played 38 and a half minutes for the Bulls. He struggled mightily in these minutes. His first half was perhaps the worst half of basketball he's played all season and amongst the worst half in his career... Read more »

Bulls should (likely will) sit Rose against the Celtics

Bulls should (likely will) sit Rose against the Celtics
Rose will likely be listed as a game time decision. He practiced the past two days, and Tom Thibodeau said that he'd see how Derrick Felt today, but one quote summed it up for me. "I felt good, but me playing (Thursday) I don't know. I'm able to run a little bit more, but not at my top speed... Read more »

How long will it take to build chemistry?

How long will it take to build chemistry?
Richard Hamilton finally returned from injury against the Rockets, playing with a rather bulky looking shoulder pad on his right arm. He didn't play particularly well. He'll need time to shake off the rust, but more importantly, the Bulls will need time to learn to play with Rip too... Read more »

Derrick Rose thinks he'll play in the regular season - panic time?

Derrick Rose thinks he'll play in the regular season - panic time?
K.C. Johnson asked Derrick Rose whether he'll play in the regular season, and Derrick Rose's response was "I think so". The words of an athlete frustrated by constantly being asked about his injury or the words of one constantly frustrated by the injury? Sadly, the later feels more likely... Read more »

John Lucas has been clutch, but C.J. Watson is your back up PG

John Lucas has been clutch, but C.J. Watson is your back up PG
With John Lucas coming in and willing the Bulls to victory against Miami, Orlando, and Toronto a bunch of questions have popped up about who should play backup PG for the Bulls once Derrick Rose comes back. C.J. Watson is the correct answer to this question... Read more »
