So the Chicago Bulls didn't get LeBron James. Or Dwyane Wade. Or later, Carmelo Anthony. It doesn't seem to matter. Sitting pretty atop the NBA's Central division at 12-8 heading into Friday's huge 8 p.m. match-up with the Los Angeles Lakers at United Center, the Bulls should be right in the thick of things for the Eastern Conference championship despite not landing one … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Major Player in the Eastern Conference Again

Rose, Bulls About to Elevate Another Level as Boozer Returns
It's been a long time since the Chicago Bulls have entered December in a position as favorable as this. They're in first place by a game over the surprising Indiana Pacers, their biggest threat to the division, the Milwaukee Bucks, have spent most of November east bound and down, and they actually finished the dreaded circus trip with a winning record of 4-3. Usually, the … [Read more...] about Rose, Bulls About to Elevate Another Level as Boozer Returns
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

Is Derrick Rose the Next Deron Williams?
With the signing of three former members of the Utah Jazz, the Chicago Bulls earned the nickname "Utah Midwest" this summer. Bulls fans hope they don't become "Utah Jazz East," as in the Jazz of the Eastern Conference postseason because Utah's recent playoff experience is not worth emulating. You've heard the expression "NBA Hell?" Well, that's exactly where Utah is- a place … [Read more...] about Is Derrick Rose the Next Deron Williams?

NBA Offseason Mailbag
Any chance LeBron goes to the Mavs? It seems like them and the Heat offer the best shot at a championship. Sure he could go to the Chicago Bulls but even with LeBron I think they are at least another year or two away. The New York Knicks have absolutely no talent to surround him with, and the New Jersey Nets just don't have it going on. Dallas is a big sports … [Read more...] about NBA Offseason Mailbag
Utah Jazz Steady Going Nowhere
By Paul M. Banks You’ve heard the term “NBA hell” before? It describes a franchise just good enough to make the playoffs every year, but never get past the first round. Teams like this are also not bad enough to qualify for the lottery, and possibly win the chance to land a franchise player. This is where the Utah Jazz reside; sort of. They’re a 53 win team with a … [Read more...] about Utah Jazz Steady Going Nowhere
