Chicago Bulls

When the Brooklyn Nets saw their championship window shut, it truly closed with authority. The window wasn't just shut; it was slammed down, locked and double dead-bolted. For the Chicago Bulls, the championship window is now quite fragile, and beyond this season, maybe next season at the absolute most (but even that would be a stretch), it's hard to legitimately include … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls championship window is….pretty much this year

Kirk Hinrich has had a fine NBA career: over 9,000 points scored, 4,000+ assists in close to 27,000 minutes on the court. He was a vital part of that 2007 Chicago Bulls team that went 49-33, finished third in the Eastern Conference, and reached the second round of the playoffs. However, Kirk Hinrich is on the wrong side of 34, and he's not going to be reverting to his '07 … [Read more...] about Bulls need Moore E’Twaun and less Kirk Hinrich

The 1990s Chicago Bulls were the greatest dynasty in the history of Chicago sports, and among the best dynasties in all of sport, not just basketball. They boasted the best NBA team of all time in 1995-96, and the greatest player in basketball history in Michael Jordan. In other words, if any sports franchises deserves to hold a “90s night” promotion, it’s the Bulls. The … [Read more...] about How you can re-live the 1990s Chicago Bulls glory years

It has been well documented that there is a growing rift between Coach Tom Thibodeau and the Chicago Bulls front office. Whether it is Jeff Van Gundy bringing his personal feeling to the fore front of a national broadcast (he really has been a "studio gangster" in the way he's behaved about this) or the local Chicago media reporting on the situation, the Thibs vs GarPax quarrel … [Read more...] about Bulls Coach Thibodeau in No Win Situation with Doug McDermott

  With or without a healthy Derrick Rose, the Cleveland Cavaliers are still probably the front-runner in the Eastern Conference. They're just so hot right now...like Hansel in Zoolander.  A CSN Chicago poll (so you know it's extremely biased in favor of the Bulls) asked "Now that Derrick Rose is returning, how far can the Chicago Bulls go?" Results yielded 40% … [Read more...] about Bulls need to avoid the Cavs as long as possible in playoffs

Get ready for a steady dose of Kirk Hinrich while Derrick Rose convalesces. If Rose meets the optimistic timetable, 4 weeks, he'll be back for the final nine games of the regular season. If it takes until the pessimistic mark, 6 weeks, he'll return for the final three games, and the postseason. Until then you'll get a lot of Aaron Brooks, but there will be lots of Hinrich, … [Read more...] about What is the Chicago Bulls ceiling now?

The Chicago Bulls announced that Derrick Rose will have surgery tomorrow. The procedure will be a menistecomy, which means his torn right medial meniscus will be removed. The removal of his meniscus is the strategy for repairing his damaged knee. Rose suffered the same exact injury 15 months ago. Now I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, so I turn it over to this … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose will have the meniscus removed

Losing to the Charlotte Hornets at home, a team missing their leasing scorer in Kemba Walker no less, was rather disheartening for the Chicago Bulls. As bad as the Hornets are, nine games under .500 with the win, Charlotte is now tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Michael Jordan's franchise has now moved out of lottery land for … [Read more...] about What post Derrick Rose life looks like for Chicago
