LeBron's legacy and the new look of free agency

LeBron's legacy and the new look of free agency
Once again, the world rallied together and rooted for "Not Miami" in the NBA finals. Not nearly as strongly as when "Not Miami" won in the form of the Dallas Mavericks, but the sentiment was still there. This time, the San Antonio Spurs blew out the Heat. Embarrassed them in three straight wins where Miami looked, slow, unathletic, and lazy...

Chicago Bulls deliver a welcome home win against the Heat

Chicago Bulls deliver a welcome home win against the Heat
It's no fun returning from sunny Cancun to a yard that still has no visible grass, but Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler, and D.J. Augustin sure did their best to keep the festivities rolling for me as the Bulls beat the Heat this Sunday...

Will Miami Heat snap the Chicago Bulls funk?

Will Miami Heat snap the Chicago Bulls funk?
Sounds ridiculous doesn't it? However, the Bulls haven't been lacking from offensive execution recently. They've lacked defensive execution. A sign that they simply aren't playing with the focus and determination that we've come to expect from the team...

Chicago Bulls stifled by Miami Heat defense

For a few minutes, the Chicago Bulls looked awfully good. They build up a 9-2 lead, a lead which should have been 12-2 except for one of the most egregiously awful charge calls you'll ever see against Jimmy Butler. The call forced Bulter out of the game and discounted an open three...

Who are the real contenders for a title this season?

It's fairly rare that a season starts where you can't identify the team that will ultimately win the championship given a few teams to pick from. Unlike the NFL where probably 50% of the teams could win the superbowl in any given year, the NBA is more consistent in figuring out in advance who has a shot to win the title...

Is this the Bulls best shot at a title?

Derrick Rose will return this season to the best cast he's ever had. Miami looked vulnerable last year and is coming back with the same group with a year of extra age...

Bulls still second in a tougher Eastern Conference

There's been a lot of talk about how much tougher the East is and where the Bulls will sit in it. I think only a complete homer puts Chicago ahead of Miami, but after that it's fairly close. I'm taking Chicago over Brooklyn, Indiana, and New York though...
