Can the Bulls do anything to work through injuries better?

Can the Bulls do anything to work through injuries better?
There are certain types of injuries which are unavoidable. Carlos Boozer tripping over a bag, Joakim Noah jamming his thumb on the rim, Luol Deng tearing a ligament in his wrist. Bad luck. Nothing you can do about that. When those injuries happen, it stinks, we live with it and move on. However, what about some of the other injuries? Is their more Chicago could do... Read more »

Bulls fall to Blazers, Philly up next 7pm on WGN

Chicago controlled the game early, but a series of poor defensive plays and open threes allowed Portland to hang around. Then Chicago failed to capture their Miami magic in the fourth quarter, and the offense crawled into a hole and died... Read more »

Bulls vs Blazers 7pm on CSN

The Blazers were having a disappointing season mired around around the .500 mark and decided to mix up the team at the trade deadline as well as bring in a new head coach. Out are Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace, in are Johnny Flynn, Hasheem Thabeet, Mehmet Okur, and Shawne Williams... Read more »

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. Frank Vogel has to look at this series and think it’s what the Bulls/Pacers series should have... Read more »

Playoffs around the league

After Saturday’s near loss, I thought the Bulls playing poorly in the first round might be an interesting talking point for today.   They’re just a blip on the radar because for the first time in the history of the NBA, the 1 and 2 seed of the same conference both lost their first game.  ...

Western conference preview

The Western conference has long been the dominant conference.   No more.   It has the Lakers, and it has some other good teams, but the conference is quickly losing steam,    The top three teams (in terms of record anyway) are all in last gasp mode with the Lakers the only one of the group with a...

LaMarcus Aldridge dunked on the Bulls again

Have you ever seen so many dunks by one guy in your life?   You could create your own youtube highlight video of Aldridge dunking just from last night’s game.   The Bulls defense was simply embarrassing in this game. The Bulls played poorly, but well enough to win this game, they lost it due to... Read more »

Bulls @ Trailblazers 9pm on WGN

The Bulls convincingly beat the Blazers early on in the season in Chicago.  However, as we’ve seen with Chicago’s 11-11 road record, they’re not the same team on the road as they are at home.   Of course, the Blazers won’t have Brandon Roy  and the Bulls will be without Joakim Noah neither of which were...

Luol Deng totally redeems himself

A couple days after emotional Bulls fans declared James Johnson the new Bulls starting SF, Luol Deng responds with 40 points on 14/19 shooting, 3/5 from the three point line, and 9/11 from the charity stripe. The Bulls pull off the (very minor) upset of the Blazers holding a 10 point or greater lead for... Read more »

Bulls vs Blazers 7pm on WCIU/NBATV

As I expected, the Bulls enter their third game of the season after splitting their first two games.   If the Bulls are to overachieve in November, this is one of the ‘winnable’ games where I’d generally consider them an underdog. Working against the Bulls is a lack of depth and poor play by everyone outside... Read more »
