Chicago Bulls Need Major Change; Say Prominent NBA Figures

By

Replacing Tom Thibodeau with Fred Hoiberg was a move the Chicago Bulls definitely did not need to make, and now it’s come back to bite them badly. Hoiberg has certainly become the Bulls version of what Marc Trestman was to the Chicago Bears. In both cases, the team brought in a guy who never really accomplished enough to merit being given the gig in the first place. Both … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Need Major Change; Say Prominent NBA Figures

Fred Hoiberg, Chicago Bulls Inspirational as Iowa St. Visits

By

Iowa State Coach Steve Prohm is in his first season with the program, having taken over for the Mayor Fred Hoiberg. Prohm's predecessor took over for Tom Thibodeau as Chicago Bulls Head Coach, and it's been a rough year in the house that Michael Jordan built. Fred Hoiberg is having a rough debut year, and the Bulls have fallen all the way down to the point of being on the … [Read more...] about Fred Hoiberg, Chicago Bulls Inspirational as Iowa St. Visits

Chicago Bulls Should Begin Roster Blow-Up Process

By

At this point, Jimmy Butler and Bobby Portis should be the only Elliot Ness level individuals ("Untouchables") on this Chicago Bulls roster. Everybody else should be considered movable. It's a shame no business was done by the NBA trade deadline last week because it's time for the Bulls to blow this thing up by the summer and start the rebuilding process. … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Should Begin Roster Blow-Up Process

Doug McDermott making his mark in NBA soph year

By

Chicago Bulls second year forward Doug McDermott had a career high 30 points Friday night in the Bulls win over the Toronto Raptors. '90s Night ended up being Dougie McBuckets night as a man who was born in the 1990s stole the show. Well, McDermott and C&C Music Factory (or C&C Music Manufacturing Plant, as Borat calls them). Y'all want this party started, quickly, … [Read more...] about Doug McDermott making his mark in NBA soph year

Kirk Hinrich Has Way More Bulls Records than you’ll Ever Believe

By

Sometimes a team retires a player's number (like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Zydraunaus Ilgauskas) and you'll think "seriously??!! Him? Same holds true when a franchise decides to give a guy who was solid, but nothing spectacular, his own statue. Harold Baines and the Chicago White Sox is a classic example. Kirk Hinrich would be the Chicago Bulls version. He's gone now, … [Read more...] about Kirk Hinrich Has Way More Bulls Records than you’ll Ever Believe

Chicago Bulls Might Be in Roster Blow-Up Mode by Spring

By

As we said several times last regular season, the Chicago Bulls window for a NBA championship was last year. They wisely kept all the pieces in place this season, and made no significant changes other than the Head Coach. With the NBA All-Star break now over, the back end of Fred Hoiberg regime year one begins, and things are headed in the wrong direction. Now begins a very … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Might Be in Roster Blow-Up Mode by Spring

What losing Jimmy Butler means to the Chicago Bulls

By

On many a night this season, the Chicago Bulls have looked like Jimmy Butler, and "a bunch of guys." Pau Gasol will replace him in the NBA All-Star game, as he's had a very solid season. Gasol is doing what he's normally done throughout the course of his career. Derrick Rose has shown flashes of being the player he once was on a few occasions this season, but it's clear that … [Read more...] about What losing Jimmy Butler means to the Chicago Bulls

Jimmy Butler obviously Bulls leading man, D Rose a role player

By

Back on Chicago Bulls Media Day Jimmy Butler was asked by a reporter if this team is now "Jimmy Butler's team" or is it still "Derrick Rose's team?" Butler answered in a very predictable way, and in the only way that he conceivably could answer that question. The answer was totally cliche, but the Q&A did serve a vital point. It provided a litmus test to see if the … [Read more...] about Jimmy Butler obviously Bulls leading man, D Rose a role player
