Derrick Rose looks healthy, MVP healthy in win over Hornets

Derrick Rose looks healthy, MVP healthy in win over Hornets
For the first time since the injuries, Derrick Rose looked like the MVP. He went full bore against the Hornets at times showing the speed and power that make him such a unique talent and carried the Bulls through a game which was on the brink of disaster... Read more »

Bulls pointlessly push Rose into action against the D-League caliber Hornets in lopsided win

Who's got next? Hawks or Magic and other playoff action

The Atlanta Hawks lead their first round matchup 3-1 against the Orlando Magic, and after playing four close games.  Orlando finally played like Orlando, Atlanta played like Atlanta, and the result was a butt whipping of epic proportions.

The Pacers are better than people think

Watching the widespread panic settle over NBA analysts and Bulls fans because the Bulls have won two close games amuses me.   The Chicago Bulls have not played their best basketball, even I am not denying that.   However, so much of the angst over these two close wins comes from the fact that the Pacers look...

Bulls vs Hornets (minus Paul) at 7pm on CSN

The Chicago Bulls catch a break so to speak, with Chris Paul missing the game tonight.  Personally, I’d rather have Chris Paul playing.   I think the Bulls win either way, but I love seeing Derrick Rose going up against elite PGs.  In some respects, I think the Bulls play better against better teams, and...
