Bulls Moving Forward

Merry halfway to Christmas, Chicago. Meet your present – Derrick Rose. In all likelihood this is the best present anyone has ever received for Jesus' half birthday. He's going to be a star – you can book it now. I could go further into that, but someone already has, and he's probably done more research than me, so let's move on. Which [read more...]

Beasley v Rose

The Bulls lost a lot this season. They lost 49 of the 82 games they played. They lost two head coaches in the span of four months. And they lost a lot of respect by botching the chance to sign former Phoenix Suns coach Mike D'Antoni. Yet thanks to the NBA Draft Lottery that took place on last Tuesday, the [read more...]

Ten Years Later…

When was the last time you went on YouTube and watched some old Michael Jordan highlights? Can you remember the smile on your face when John Paxson's three beat the Suns in the 1993 Finals? Do you still consider Phil Jackson a Bull, or has his time with the Lakers adjusted your thinking? It has been ten years since the Bulls [read more...]

Bulls Season In Review - Part 1

Wow, that was painful. The only solace Bulls fans can take from a miserable 2007-08 season is that it wasn't just Chicago that was optimistic about the team coming into this season. After three straight playoff appearances and an 06-07 season that featured 49 wins and a first-round playoff sweep of the Miami Heat, even the World Wide Leader was buying [read more...]

Evaluating The Bulls

Now that all the pre-season dreams of contending for a conference title have long since been unmercifully crushed, I thought it'd be appropriate to do a re-evaluation of the Bulls current roster. I will look at each player, taking into account their age and salary and determine their current worth TODAY. I will forget what we though about them heading [read more...]

Is That A Mask? Or Is He Really A Superstar?

Friday night against the Knicks, 22-year-old Bulls resident hopeful superstar Luol Deng shined, torching NY for 29 points and outrebounding Eddy Curry by 7 for a double-double. Heading into the 2004 NBA Draft, critics told us that Deng lacked athleticism and would never be a top-level talent, allowing him to slip to the Bulls at #7. Deng has since embarrassed [read more...]

Bad, Bad Chicago Bulls

Even though I know for a fact that Bulls coach Scott Skiles reads my columns on a regular basis looking for guidance, he neglected to take my advice concerning changes to the starting lineup. He ended up replacing Tyrus Thomas with Andres Nocioni, rather than moving Ben Gordon to the bench. While Noce had been playing well enough to deserve to [read more...]
