Tonight, the Chicago Bulls were a lot like the priests who restored Linda Blair because they were exorcising demons all over the place. Third time the charm for beating the Charlotte Bobcats? Roger that. Winning the first home game after a long road trip instead of falling flat in the homestand opener? Done. Beating an inferior team that for some reason matches up … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls Finally Get Best of Charlotte Bobcats 106-94

Chicago Bulls Major Player in the Eastern Conference Again
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
What’s up with the Bulls Shooting Guard Options?
I never thought the Chicago Bulls would miss Kirk Hinrich this much. But four games into the NBA season, (that means we're 1/20th of the way through the season already) you can see how he mattered more than we thought he did last summer. Keith Bogans, the second oldest guy on the Bulls behind Kurt Thomas, is the starter at the shooting guard position. Two new wings imported … [Read more...] about What’s up with the Bulls Shooting Guard Options?
Maybe the Bulls Will Start Making some 3s Now?
Last season the Chicago Bulls finished dead last in the NBA in three point field goal percentage. In the summer they went out and got Kyle Korver from Utah. All he did was lead the league in three point shooting percentage. Actually he broke the NBA season record for three point percentage, with a .536 eclipsing that of former Bull Steve Kerr and his .524 in 1994-95. Problem … [Read more...] about Maybe the Bulls Will Start Making some 3s Now?
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
After one of the most publicized off-seasons in NBA history, the league's landscape seems to have gone through a bigger face lift than Joan Rivers. The anticipation for the start of the season has been building since Lebron and CBTV reporter Blane Harrington lit up expectations in the sunshine state, seemingly anointing the Heat the most hated team in the NBA. With Bosh and … [Read more...] about 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?
Chicago Bulls add Kyle Korver, Omer Asik to the Roster
“We are pleased to welcome Kyle to the Bulls. He will be a great addition to our team and he will provide another dimension to our offense,” said Chicago Bulls General Manager Gar Forman today. Korver (6-7, 212), a seven-year veteran of the NBA, spent the last two-plus seasons with the Utah Jazz. He broke into the league with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2003, where he … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls add Kyle Korver, Omer Asik to the Roster
Chicago Bulls sign Kyle Korver, Offer Sheet to J.J. Redick
On the same exact day (well night actually) that the Chicago Bulls formally introduced Carlos Boozer to the Chicago community, (and a day after officially losing out on the Lebron sweepstakes) the front office made a couple more moves. And they were the perfect supplemental moves towards addressing their team needs. Boozer filled their glaring need for a back-to-the-basket … [Read more...] about Chicago Bulls sign Kyle Korver, Offer Sheet to J.J. Redick
