John Lucas does his Derrick Rose impression in Bulls win over Heat

John Lucas does his Derrick Rose impression in Bulls win over Heat
The best thing about the Bulls victory over the Heat is that there was no choke by Miami. There was no gaffe. There was no holding back. By the end of the game every trick they've tried on Derrick Rose was used on John Lucas; double team 40 feet from the basket, trap on the pick and roll, and even LeBron taking the assignment. The Heat couldn't stop John Lucas who played the best game of his life, and the Bulls went on to win... Read more »

Rose rants on officials after win
The Bulls didn't play all that well, but they played well enough to get a win. Derrick doesn't feel he's getting the calls and decided to let the world know about it... Read more »

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 at Nets 6:30 pm on CSN [and some Bulls/Bucks thoughts]

Bulls at Nets 6:30 pm on CSN [and some Bulls/Bucks thoughts]
For those who are readers and not listeners, I'll start with some quick thoughts from the Bucks game. Derrick Rose, again, absolutely shredded the Bucks defense. After a quick scoring burst to start the game, he destroyed them with the pass rather than the shot... Read more »

Bulls vs Bucks 7pm on WCIU Gibson in, Bogut out

For those not deeply following Milwaukee Bucks news, the Bucks will be missing Andrew Bogut who fractured his left ankle. Tough news for them. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls will get a lift with the return of Taj Gibson [pending any late setbacks] from his ankle sprain. All in all, the game shouldn't be much of a challenge for Chicago...

Bulls vs Nets 7pm on WGN - Taj out, Deng, Noah, Rose gametime decisions

Per Kc Johnson, Derrick Rose has told friends he intends to play tonight against New Jersey. He also told friends he intended to play against the Cavaliers. Let's hope Derrick does the smart thing and rests if he's not 100%, or let's hope the Bulls take the decision out of his hands... Read more »

Bulls problems aren't so bad

Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer haven't gotten it going yet this year. Richard Hamilton and C.J. Watson have been injured. Luol Deng has lost his three point shot, and after a hot start has seen his TS% drop to 46.7%. Yet despite all these gripes, the Bulls are sitting pretty... Read more »

At least we played the Wizards

For my first game live at the UC, I got the enjoyment of watching perhaps the ugliest basketball game in the Derrick Rose era. I suppose the good news was that it was a win. If there was a prop bet on John Lucas having a 25, 8, and 8 game this season, I bet you'd have cleaned up... Read more »

Derrick Rose carries the Bulls to victory

Derrick Rose carries the Bulls to victory
Through three periods the Chicago Bulls scored 42 points. No one deserves to be in a basketball game when they've scored 42 points through three periods. Not in the NBA. However, their defense played fairly well over that stretch holding the Hawks to 56. 14 points, a lot to overcome... Read more »
