Derrick Rose practiced, possible for Boston game?
I've recently become more and more paranoid about the severity of Derrick Rose's injury, but the recent word from Bulls GM Gar Forman is that Rose is progressing nicely and hasn't been ruled out for Thursday's game against Boston... Read more »

Thibodeau upset about contract? Doubt it

Thibodeau upset about contract? Doubt it
Mark Stein first reported yesterday that Tom Thibodeau was quietly grousing about the fact the Bulls hadn't offered him an extension. Thibodeau publicly denied the story after the Bulls beat the Pistons last night. Thibodeau deserves a raise. I know it, you know it, he knows it, and the Bulls know it... Read more »

Derrick Rose: "I could barely walk." and quick thoughts on Celtics loss

Derrick Rose: "I could barely walk." and quick thoughts on Celtics loss
"It's been hurting the whole trip," Rose said. "I just played through it. It tended to get worse after every game. I was really worried about it. But I'm trying to stay positive. I don't know what the diagnosis is. I just know my back is not right." "It just came from out of nowhere," Rose said. "That's the scary thing about it. ... I could barely walk (after New Orleans).

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

Bulls pointlessly push Rose into action against the D-League caliber Hornets in lopsided win
So the Bulls won by 23 points and fulfilled my prediction of holding the Hornets to 70 or less points last night. Yet for some reason, despite his back still being tight, and Rose still feeling hurt, we felt the need to trot him out there until "the game was out of reach... 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 »

Putting this Bulls season into perspective

Going into the season, I felt the Bulls had maybe a 10% chance of losing in the first round, 40% of losing in the 2nd, 30% of losing in the ECF, 10% of losing in the finals, and 10% of winning the whole thing.   The Bulls managed to make it to the ECF which... Read more »

Following the Bulls loss to the Miami Heat, Tom Thibodeau said something to the effect of “Defensively, we were terrible.   We have a lot of stuff we need to clean up”.   Please, please, please tell me this is just his standard stock answer and not the internal workings of his mind. The Chicago... Read more »

Bulls vs Pacers 7pm on TNT/CSN - It's closing time

The Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers have played a physical, grimy style of basketball for four games.   Despite, Frank Vogel’s insistence that the Pacers deserve to have swept the series, the Bulls find themselves with a 3-1 lead despite playing a very low level of basketball through the series so far. Derrick Rose is... Read more »
