Rose, Bulls About to Elevate Another Level as Boozer Returns

By

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

Carlos Boozer can be Robin to Derrick Rose’s Batman

By

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

Is Derrick Rose the Next Deron Williams?

By

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?

Chicago Bulls should draft OSU’s James Anderson

By

The Chicago Bulls could use a good perimeter scorer, someone who can really light it up from deep. Even though Kirk Hinrich played out of his mind for a couple games of the first round series loss to Cleveland, he's not that guy. John Salmons was not that guy, and the Bulls haven’t had “that guy” since Ben Gordon left town. Chicago doesn’t really shoot a whole lot of threes, … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls should draft OSU’s James Anderson

Derrick Rose Still might Play in All-Star Game

By

By Paul M. Banks Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose still might play in the All-Star game this Valentine's Day. Yes, his injury during last night’s blowout loss to the Orlando Magic looked ugly, but take heart Bulls fans- it isn't serious. Rose left with a bruised right hip at the 9:36 mark of the first quarter.  He hit the floor following a foul by Orlando center Dwight … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose Still might Play in All-Star Game

Chicago Bulls All Decade Team

By

By Paul M. Banks The 1990s were a refreshing change for Chicago sports fans. For the better part of the decade, the city abandoned it’s dysfunctional obsession with its two lovable losers (Bears and Cubs) in order to fully embrace the only true consistent winner that the second city has ever known: Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty. As great as the 90s were, the … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls All Decade Team
