Trade deadline thoughts, a day after

Yesterday, I discussed my mixed emotions on the Bulls lack of a move.   The right move may not have been on the table, but the predeadline comments by beat reporters about the new CBA and saving money still bring back scary thoughts for a team I hope will finally be willing to pay the...

Jerry Sloan abruptly announces retirement after Bulls defeat Jazz

The news is all over the net, and Derrick Rose has sent his second coach this year to the unemployment line.   Granted, Sloan seemed to tire of the job moreso than to get let go by ownership, but I love the fact that Rose is the one pushing them in that direction. Apparently, a... Read more »

Rose wins the PG battle to drive Bulls to victory

Well, I think it’s safe to say that Jazz fans aren’t missing Carlos Boozer any, and if I had my way, he wouldn’t have played in the fourth quarter.    Derrick Rose gave the Bulls enough offense while the team defense stepped up and did the job.   Big kudos to the bench for coming in... Read more »

Bulls @ Jazz @ 8pm on CSN+

Boozer calls winning championship a "realistic goal"; is he right?

Per ESPN Chicago’s Nick Friedell: “A championship,” he told ESPNChicago.com on Wednesday night after a Nike House of Hoops event. “I think a realistic goal for us is a championship. I think anything shorter than that we’re setting ourselves up to be shorter than what we can reach. I think [we have] potential to be... Read more »

Should we beware of the Booze?

I find that frequently, people can talk themselves into anything, and I see many people talking themselves into the idea that Carlos Boozer was the big man we wanted all along or that we were blessed to miss out on Bosh and get Boozer instead. Let me asure you, that is most certainly not the... Read more »

The top ten teams in the NBA this season

It actually hasn’t been that long since the Bulls were a top 10 team in the preseason.  I would have given them that distinction just three years ago when they finished with 33 wins and were a world class disappointment.   However, I felt pretty good entering that season. A reminder, that things may not always... Read more »
