This is a bit over the top, don't you think? Yes, there is actually a somber and serious vigil, flowers, photos, crutches, shrine and all, to the knees of Derrick Rose. It's located at the intersection of Fullerton Ave and Interstate-90 in Chicago. It's reminiscent of the candlelight vigil Penn State fans had for victories of Joe Paterno vacated by the NCAA. We're assuming … [Read more...] about PHOTO: Bulls fans take Derrick Rose hero worship too far

Chicago Bulls championship window is….pretty much this year
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
Bulls need Moore E’Twaun and less Kirk Hinrich
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
How you can re-live the 1990s Chicago Bulls glory years
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
Bulls Coach Thibodeau in No Win Situation with Doug McDermott
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
Kevin Garnett is the best thing for Andrew Wiggins
Andrew Wiggins made history Wednesday night, as his 30 points were the most ever by a player on his 20th birthday. He entered last night's contest at Chicago leading all NBA rookies in scoring (15.6 ppg) and field goal percentage (.438) and minutes per game (34.7). Just a few weeks ago, it seemed like the Chicago Bulls Nikola Mirotic was the favorite to win the NBA Rookie of … [Read more...] about Kevin Garnett is the best thing for Andrew Wiggins
Adreian Payne’s NBA career finally begins with Timberwolves
The best thing that happened to Adreian Payne, NBA career wise, was getting traded away from the Atlanta Hawks and to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He wasn't going to get much playing time with the Eastern Conference's first place team; who have now pretty much solidified the #1 seed in the East. Payne was drafted 15th overall by Atlanta, but never broke into their rotation; … [Read more...] about Adreian Payne’s NBA career finally begins with Timberwolves
Bulls need to avoid the Cavs as long as possible in playoffs
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
What is the Chicago Bulls ceiling now?
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?
Kevin Garnett is scaring his teammates (in a good way)
With Kevin Garnett, the 2014-15 Minnesota Timberwolves season has new life. It wasn't long ago that the T'Wolves had the worst record in the NBA. They have come on stronger as of late, and they won't make the playoffs, but at least now they are more compelling. KG, now in his 20th season in the NBA, isn't what he once was or anything close to it, but he makes this team much … [Read more...] about Kevin Garnett is scaring his teammates (in a good way)
