Jimmy Butler, the Taj Gibson of perimeter players

Jimmy Butler, the Taj Gibson of perimeter players
Who didn't love the Jimmy Butler story when they heard it after draft night? It's hard not to love a hard working overachiever who's been through tough times in life but came out on top and remains humbled from where he's been. However, there's a ton of great guys in this world, and it doesn't mean I want them on my basketball team... Read more »

Bulls finally get to practice, what do they work on?

Bulls finally get to practice, what do they work on?
One of the biggest problems with a compressed season is the lack of practice. The only time available is the morning shoot around between games, the games themselves, and the rare days off between games. However, with the total amount of travel, injuries, and frequency of games, the Bulls haven't been practicing on most off days... Read more »

Bulls vs Pistons 7pm on CSN and some final Atlanta thoughts

Bulls vs Pistons 7pm on CSN and some final Atlanta thoughts
Will Rip Hamilton fight through a sore groin to get revenge on his former team again? Let's hope not. At least not unless he's fully healthy, because aggravating a groin injury in an attempt to punish the Pistons for not starting him last season isn't all that helpful for the Bulls long term...

Bulls Draft: Smart, Not Spectacular

In a typical NBA draft, there are about 15 or so players who will stay in the league longer than 5 years.  Only a handful will become impact players. By all accounts, the 2011 draft class was an exceptionally weak one. So if you’re the Bulls and you come in with the  28th, 30th and... Read more »
