Without Rose, the unofficial first half ends poorly Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (0)
The only valuable piece of information to come from last night's loss to the Magic is this: Bulls trainer Fred Tedeschi said, "The X-rays so far were negative. I'm not saying we've completely ruled out a fracture. It looks unlikely." Of course, he was talking about Derrick Rose. Once Rose went to the locker room, the game became CNN: just an outlet for news updates. All Derrick, all the time. NBA Continue Reading...

Bulls solid in transition; beat Pacers Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (0)
This game, pretty much, followed the numbers. The pace was fast; the Pacers couldn't help themselves from constantly fouling, as the Bulls went to the line 33 times; and the Pacers' struggling offense failed to get good shots when it mattered. NBA Continue Reading...

Injuries aren’t going away; Bulls lose to Sixers Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (0)
For the second straight night, the opponents' big men abused the Bulls. Injuries to the Bulls' front court probably has something to do with this: Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson are dealing with plantar fasciitis, and Brad Miller is playing hurt too. NBA Continue Reading...

Back at .500: Bulls beat Thunder Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (0)
On Wednesday night, Derrick Rose took over the game in the fourth quarter. Each time down the floor, the Bulls' offense resembled the game plan many Bulls fans envisioned at the start the season: high screen-roll, followed by Rose attacking, making the best decision, but not hesitating to go it alone. It's hard to describe, but I think Bulls fans reading this are nodding their head. Because when things weren't going well, everyone wondered why Rose was so passive and why the Bulls weren't doing this on offense. This is the vision they hoped the Bulls' offense would look like -- ...

Shooting streak continues as Bulls beat Spurs Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (2)
[googmonify]4379496965:center:468:60[/googmonify] It only took about five minutes or so for the Spurs to pull ahead of the Bulls by double-digits. With a 17-6 lead, basketball could not have looked any easier for San Antonio. The Spurs' first 17 points came via one jump shot outside of the paint; a made free throw; and 14 points worth of dunks, lay-ups and wide open shots near the rim. Early, when the Spurs weren't getting ahead in transition, giving Tony Parker room to attack the basket, they were perfectly spreading the floor in the half-court, opening up wide lanes for Parker to find his ...

Clippers’ bench does enough; Bulls lose 104-97 Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (1)
Tyrus Thomas had himself a nice game (18 points, eFG% of 72%, even made some of those jumpers he shouldn't be taking) coming off the bench; however, the entire Clippers' bench did just fine, playing by themselves. NBA Courtesy of Statsheet.com Continue Reading...

Bulls unable to overcome their own issues Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap | (1)
This exchange between Neil Funk and Stacey King occurred at the beginning of the fourth quarter: Funk: (Blank) gets a lead and then it just turns sloppy. King: You look at their shot selection ... you go back and look at these teams who are consistently below .500, and there's a reason why. They're not understanding of clock situation, not understanding you're in a tight game right now ... You play well in spurts, but then you come back and do silly things. Guess who these two were talking about? If you regularly listen to the Bulls' announcing duo (especially Funk), you're probably ...
