Chicago Bulls Major Player in the Eastern Conference Again

By

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

By

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

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?
