The Inconsistency of Nikola Mirotic

The Inconsistency of Nikola Mirotic
Last offseason, after a season of disappointment, Gar Forman told reporters that his team needed to get younger and more athletic. This narrative has been dragged through the mud at this point, but throughout his conversations with media, he continually mentioned one of the Bulls young big men–Nikola Mirotic. Forman referred to Mirotic as a “core... Read more »

Thunder Drop Bulls, 109-94

Thunder Drop Bulls, 109-94
There’s not really a ton to say about this one. The game wasn’t that great, the Bulls weren’t that great, and they lost pretty swiftly and uneventfully. Despite his best efforts, Jimmy Butler found himself unable to power through illness to lead the Bulls as he has done so brilliantly this season. Like Jimmy, the... Read more »

The Chicago Bulls Reach A Turning Point With Win Over Cleveland

The Chicago Bulls Reach A Turning Point With Win Over Cleveland
The 2016-17 Chicago Bulls have wavered somewhere between competent playoff team, and lottery-bound mess for most of the season. A big reason for this is Chicago’s complete lack of capable three-point shooting, and that is why last night’s victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers by the score of 106-to-94 was so encouraging. In a game where... Read more »

Bulls Shake Off Lakers, Get to 3-1 on Circus Trip

Bulls Shake Off Lakers, Get to 3-1 on Circus Trip
This year’s incarnations of the Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers are not what they were for a long time as far as franchise faces. By trading Derrick Rose, the Bulls let it be known that Jimmy Butler is their true leader. Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant’s retirement means the Lakers are without a defining player for the... Read more »

Bulls Give Blazers No Chance

Bulls Give Blazers No Chance
The very last circus trip could not have started better for the Bulls Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Never mind that Rajon Rondo and Doug McDermott were absent. The Bulls scored the game’s first 10 points and played with such force on both ends, forcing Portland to burn two timeouts before the first quarter... Read more »

Bulls Practice Overtime, Drop to Hornets

Bulls Practice Overtime, Drop to Hornets
There will be games this year in which the Bulls will have to play beyond the mandated 48 minutes. They got their first overtime rehearsal Monday against the Charlotte Hornets.  It didn’t work out in the end as they lost 108-104. That brought their three-game winning streak to an end and dropped their preseason record... Read more »

The Bulls' Power Forward Spot Is Up For Grabs, Or Is It?

The Bulls' Power Forward Spot Is Up For Grabs, Or Is It?
Four of the five spots have been filled in the Chicago Bulls’ starting lineup. Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade have arrived and slotted straight into the backcourt, pushing Jimmy Butler up to his original position at small forward. No one will beat out Robin Lopez for center. You can lock those players in as starters... Read more »

Gibson, Wade Must Sacrifice for Younger, Better Players

Gibson, Wade Must Sacrifice for Younger, Better Players
Basketball is a team game, right? That means everyone plays together with the same common purpose. It doesn’t matter if you’ve played on a certain level for one year or 15. All must be prepared to sacrifice for the greater good. It can be easy for NBA players to feel they’re owed something as they... Read more »

Olympic Bulls: Três Touros no Rio

Olympic Bulls: Três Touros no Rio
Summer basketball is a scare. For most casual fans — and franchise owners — fatigue and the possibility of a freak injury often outweigh any intrinsic benefits of watching basketball during the NBA’s quiet season. On top of all that, USA basketball has been dominating international competition since the inclusion of professionals in 1992, even... Read more »
