Whenever you shoot 34% from the field, and 15% from behind the arc in the NBA, (as Chicago did in game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals) you're not very likely to win. And for the Chicago Bulls, it's even harder to win when you're taking on a team that's more athletic and less reliant on jump shooting in the Miami Heat. Maybe the Bulls have gotten their "bad shooting game" … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Need More Scoring from Wings, Higher Shooting Percentage

Kyle Korver Lights Up Bobcats; Stephen Jackson Still Trashes his Game
Last season the Chicago Bulls finished dead last in the NBA in three point field goal percentage. In the summer they went out and got Kyle Korver from Utah. All he did was lead the league in three point shooting percentage. Actually he broke the NBA season record for three point percentage, with a .536 eclipsing that of former Bull Steve Kerr and his .524 in … [Read more...] about Kyle Korver Lights Up Bobcats; Stephen Jackson Still Trashes his Game
Bulls Ronnie Brewer Posterizes Pacers Josh McRoberts (Video)
Who says Chicago Bulls two guard Ronnie Brewer is only a defensive specialist? He looked pretty offensive here, at least to the Indiana Pacers Josh McRoberts, who got dunked and owned. It was deemed Sportscenter's #1 highlight of the night. And even more entertaining than the dunk was television announcer Stacy King's exclamated gibberish. His effervescent, nutbar ramblings … [Read more...] about Bulls Ronnie Brewer Posterizes Pacers Josh McRoberts (Video)
What’s up with the Bulls Shooting Guard Options?
I never thought the Chicago Bulls would miss Kirk Hinrich this much. But four games into the NBA season, (that means we're 1/20th of the way through the season already) you can see how he mattered more than we thought he did last summer. Keith Bogans, the second oldest guy on the Bulls behind Kurt Thomas, is the starter at the shooting guard position. Two new wings imported … [Read more...] about What’s up with the Bulls Shooting Guard Options?
Maybe the Bulls Will Start Making some 3s Now?
Last season the Chicago Bulls finished dead last in the NBA in three point field goal percentage. In the summer they went out and got Kyle Korver from Utah. All he did was lead the league in three point shooting percentage. Actually he broke the NBA season record for three point percentage, with a .536 eclipsing that of former Bull Steve Kerr and his .524 in 1994-95. Problem … [Read more...] about Maybe the Bulls Will Start Making some 3s Now?
Deng possibly the missing piece in Bulls puzzle after all?
Luol Deng's 39 points on Monday night can not be ignored. He's the X-factor. If Deng shines this season or even comes close to the potential the Bulls envisioned when they handed him a contract potentially worth up to $80 million, Chicago has a chance to seriously compete in the much-improved east. Ifs, ands, or buts aside, this is not the first time Deng has flashed his … [Read more...] about Deng possibly the missing piece in Bulls puzzle after all?
Carlos Boozer can be Robin to Derrick Rose’s Batman
So many failed experiments, and finally the Chicago Bulls have found their big man. By my count, I have ten failures by the organization at the power forward position: Elton Brand, Tyrus Thomas, Tyson Chandler, Drew Gooden, PJ Brown, Andres Nocioni, Michael Sweetney, Lonny Baxter, Antonio Davis and Donyell Marshall. Almost all were expected at one point to deliver the … [Read more...] about Carlos Boozer can be Robin to Derrick Rose’s Batman
Free Agency hypes start of NBA season
After one of the most publicized off-seasons in NBA history, the league's landscape seems to have gone through a bigger face lift than Joan Rivers. The anticipation for the start of the season has been building since Lebron and CBTV reporter Blane Harrington lit up expectations in the sunshine state, seemingly anointing the Heat the most hated team in the NBA. With Bosh and … [Read more...] about Free Agency hypes start of NBA season
