Bulls pursuing Jackson? Good Chicago Bulls | (0)
Late Monday night, ESPN.com/Bulls free agency reporter Chris Broussard reported that the Bulls have reached out to Phil Jackson, through back channels of course, to gauge his interest in returning to Chicago. Good. There's no reason for the Bulls to be looking anywhere else at this moment. Otherwise, the Bulls are looking at a list of NBA retreads and none of them seem more likely than the other to help bring LeBron James to Chicago. Besides retreads, the most popular candidate at the moment, Tom Thibodeau, may be gone before the Bulls know it. And with the Bulls' focus ...

Send LeBron to Chicago: the site for “What if?” Chicago Bulls | (0)
Yesterday, @OTCChicago23 had a new follower that has already saved me a considerable amount of time. The new follower: @LeBrontoChicago. I enjoy spending time looking for Photoshopped pictures of potential Bulls free agents. The Vinny Del Negro era, and the organization in general, made me crazy like that. But with the help of sendlebrontochicago.com, at least one potential free agent -- perhaps more so now with the way his current series is looking -- wearing red and black is much easier to find. So easy, it's hard to stop yourself from thinking, "What if?" The highlight of the site: one picture isn't ...

Under Del Negro: Bulls average, but never boring Chicago Bulls | (0)
Click on the image to enlarge Over two seasons, Vinny Del Negro had a 82-82 record during the regular season -- 41-41 both seasons. In the playoffs, he was 4-8, but expectations for this team were low. For the most part, this team was as average as they come. Average teams aren't supposed to be this strange. Average, mediocre, etc. implies normal and boring; however, the Bulls were anything but. A lot of things happened in the last two seasons for this Bulls team -- a lot of it off the court.

Nothing to hold us back now … Chicago Bulls | (0)
There's nothing to hold us back from talking about 2010 NBA free agents, that is. We won't know until then, if the Bulls will be destined for NBA Champions or if we'll have to turn our attention to the 2011 free agents. As for this series, instead of rehashing the same problems the Bulls have had all season, and pointing out the flaws that appeared this season, I'd rather just take some time and break down this strange, at times frustrating season piece by piece. So, I'll do that later. Otherwise, let the Vinny Del Negro watch begin -- we may ...

Not much more the Bulls can do Chicago Bulls, Game Wrap, Playoffs | (0)
The main theme of the Bulls/Cavs series is that the Cavs are a lot better. Monday night's game is about as good as the Bulls are going to do; still, it wasn't good enough. This isn't going to change just because the games are in Chicago. The same pros and cons have stuck with the Bulls all season long, and they were there last night, as well. They'll be there for the rest of the series, too. So instead of repeating them all, here are a few notes about Game 2 (Disclaimer: Some season-long pros and cons will be repeated). Joakim ...
