Your Monday night playoff race update

There were three games tonight that had some type of meaning in their potential impact on the Chicago Bulls.    First, and most obviously, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Detroit Pistons.   The Raptors are now only a half game behind the Bulls, and the Bulls magic number still stands at two with two games to play...

Bulls win; Noah rules; A look at the schedules

Joakim Noah was the man and about the only thing worth watching in the second half of this game was to see whether Noah would become the first seven footer since Tom Boerwinkle to get a triple double for the Bulls.   He fell three assists shy, and part of me is still angry for the... Read more »

Bulls screwed by refs; look for the league apology soon

Ignore for a moment that the Bulls could have done a million things differently to win this game.  Up by two points with the ball and little time left, Derrick Rose drove the lane, Courtney Lee grabbed his arm and yanked causing the ball to fly out of bounds.   Nets ball. The call was excruciatingly... Read more »

Bulls barely beat the LeBronless Cavs, but end the night tied for 8th

Mo Williams pulled a Devin Hester.   Ridiculous.   He burned the hell out of Rose off the dribble early getting to the rim and setting up others for dunks and scoring himself.   Later he went Ben Gordon on us, reigning down fire from behind the arc, hitting a couple crazy threes. While some could say the... Read more »

Bulls fall to Bucks, stay 1 back of the Raptors

Well half of my dream prediction came through last night as the Cavs still played hard enough to beat the Raptors, but unfortunately, the Bulls didn’t hold up their part of the bargain.   I’ve yet to check in with the cyberworld to see the reaction to the game, which I was at, but I’m...

Toronto falls to Golden State opening the door for the Bulls

The Toronto loss is important for obvious reasons.   In other news today, Cleveland rapped up the #1 seed meaning they officially have nothing to play for.   I doubt they throw in the towel yet, but the Raptors next game is against Cleveland who may start rolling back the minutes and responsibility they give...

Bulls win, Raptors lose. Bulls 1/2 game back

If the Bulls beat the Raptors in their head to head matchup, then the Bulls will be tied in the loss column with them.   They lose the tie breaker to the Raptors though, so they’ll need to finish a game ahead of them in the win column at the end of the day. Let’s update... Read more »

Bulls finally win; a look at the race for 8th

Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah returned (though Noah barely played), and the Bulls dominated the hapless 76ers.  It was a must win situation for the Bulls to remain in the playoff race.   They now sit two and a half games back. Derrick was back and didn’t miss a beat.   He was dominating prior to... Read more »
