Derrick Rose Premier Highlight Video; NBA Businessmen Suck at Life

By

I'm not even going to acknowledge the headlines from the NBA labor situation yesterday. I'm so effing sick of it. Sick of hearing about it; basically the whole league sucks at life. That's my take on the union de-certifying/David Stern's proposal/players rejecting it. Basically, in a year after record television ratings, the league is going to lose every casual fan they made … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose Premier Highlight Video; NBA Businessmen Suck at Life

NBA MVPs Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant Possibly Headed to Play Overseas?

By

Did you hear that? It's the sound of NBA appeal and influence in this country falling hard to the floor. Due to the ongoing labor crisis, the league cancelled a big chunk of preseason games last week. Within another few days, it'll probably be time to cancel the rest of the preseason. And you know what comes after that...casualties in the regular season, and with it, an erosion … [Read more...] about NBA MVPs Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant Possibly Headed to Play Overseas?

Derrick Rose: “I’m going to Win Multiple Championships”

By

"Not a repeat, or a three-peat, we're talking Minimum 8-peat my friend," that's the words of the famous Saturday Night Live "Superfan" character from the early '90s comedic sketches. You remember? "Da Bulls." "Ditka." "Polish sauasage." Those portly fellow had a lot of hubris about the Michael Jordan era Chicago Bulls teams. That hubris in now showing up in NBA MVP and Bulls … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose: “I’m going to Win Multiple Championships”

Chicago Bulls Looking For Athletic Wing This Off-Season

The Chicago Bulls … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Looking For Athletic Wing This Off-Season

How does Kyrie Irving Compare to NBA #1 Overall Picks Derrick Rose, John Wall?

By

It's only natural to compare Duke and soon-to-be Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving to the Washington Wizards John Wall and the Chicago Bulls Derrick Rose. After Thursday evening, it will mark three years in a row that a point guard went first overall, so this juxtaposition of the three franchise floor generals will continue on for many years. Irving was been as … [Read more...] about How does Kyrie Irving Compare to NBA #1 Overall Picks Derrick Rose, John Wall?

Heat 83, Bulls 80: Miami Eliminates Chicago, Heartbreak Becomes Heart Ripping

By

It's a good thing I accepted defeat on Tuesday night, and made my peace with it. It really was the very definition of an inoculation for what was to come. Accepting it makes a loss like this, a collapse of 2003 Chicago Cubs proportions, really not hurt as much as it could. If this was a game 7??? Whoah, then it really would be like the scene in Indiana Jones and the Temple of … [Read more...] about Heat 83, Bulls 80: Miami Eliminates Chicago, Heartbreak Becomes Heart Ripping

Heat 101, Bulls 93 in OT: Miami up 3-1, at least we have Closure

By

You may be asking yourself "why the hell does a picture of John Cusack (or more specifically Lloyd Dobler in "Say Anything") lead off an article recapping game 4 of the Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Eastern Conference Finals?" And it's not because Cusack is from Chicago. Well partially. It really is because game four was all about heartbreak, and doing absolutely everything … [Read more...] about Heat 101, Bulls 93 in OT: Miami up 3-1, at least we have Closure

Miami Heat 96, Chicago Bulls 85: Start Contemplating Doomsday Scenarios?

By

Remember Chicago Bulls fans, the Bulls haven't lost three in a row all year. So this is not the apocalypse. That was Saturday; and you survived it. Things do look bad- really bad right now, but Thibs will make adjustments. Again this is not the apocalypse, it's not even the 2pacalypse. But the tide has officially turned to Miami Heat favor -Expect every game to be "grindy" … [Read more...] about Miami Heat 96, Chicago Bulls 85: Start Contemplating Doomsday Scenarios?

Heat 85, Bulls 75: Miami Takes Boring Slogfest in Game 2

By

Now that the series shifts to Miami, I'm ready for all of my media brethren to run one of these two cliches into the ground. Either a.) Will Smith's song from 1999 "I'm going to Miami, Bienvenidos a Miami" or last summer's "I'm taking my talents to South Beach." Either way, I'm about to throw up on my shoes. -Don't act so shocked that Chicago Bulls dropped this one. You knew … [Read more...] about Heat 85, Bulls 75: Miami Takes Boring Slogfest in Game 2
