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 »

Bulls win division, lose Boozer, and gain on Boston

Lots of things happened last night, some important, some not important.    The Bulls clinched the division for the first time since the Jordan era with a win over Charlotte and an Indiana loss.   To clinch this early is fairly amazing, but it says more about the weakness of the division than the strength...

Bulls just treading water until Noah gets back

With a nasty virus running through the Thonus household, I missed all but the closing minutes of the game.  However, while our worst fears of Joakim Noah’s absence haven’t been realized, the team clearly badly misses its star center.   The Bulls are winless on the road in 2011, they’ve dropped three games all three are...

How will the Bulls cope without Noah? Most likely, just fine.

Obviously the Bulls aren’t going to be better off without Noah.  They’ll be hurt by the lack of depth.  They’ll miss his rebounding, help defense, and hustle.   However, all is not lost.   Not even close.   The Bulls have quality depth to get through this period, and they’ll better develop Asik through the process.  Also, they...

Boozer back at practice; may debut against Magic

Per KC Johnson: “I felt I had a pretty good day of practice,” Boozer said. “My hand felt pretty good. There were a couple of times it got hit, which was good to see how that felt. It was a little sore. “But my wrist is getting a lot stronger, which is important to me... Read more »

Boozer to return to practice Monday; could play Dec 1st

Per K.C. Johnson: Carlos Boozer said it’s “100 percent” he will participate in Monday’s practice at the Berto Center, his first contact since fracturing the fifth metacarpal on his right hand on Oct. 2. Boozer shot jumpers and lifted weights before Friday’s game against the Nuggets, his second straight day of more intense workouts. “It’s... Read more »

Boozer scheduled to return roughly on Dec 10th or 11th

Carlos Boozer Dec 10th Target return date: Tuesday will mark eight weeks since Carlos Boozer had surgery on his broken right hand, and that’s the optimal target date the power forward said the team doctors have established for him to begin participating in contact drills during practice. But even if Boozer practices Tuesday — which... Read more »

Bulls at Suns 8pm CST on CSN

Sorry folks, late on the pregame thread, this is basically just a stub for game discussion. Biggest news is that Taj Gibson is out for the game against the Suns.  Hopefully the Bulls can overcome his loss, otherwise, I’ll go back to what I said prior to the Lakers game.   Don’t try and kill yourself...
