Chicago Bulls

Until Thursday night, Pau Gasol had made more appearances this fall on "CSI: Miami" than in the Los Angeles Lakers' starting lineup. The Spanish 7-footer finally got back to his day job in a dynamic season debut that suggested just how good the defending NBA champions can be when they're wh...

By your friendly BullsBlogger There were good signs before that 4th quarter though, a good offensive game from the trio of Salmons/Deng/Hinrich, shooting 21-46.

By Big D Considering that the Bulls have two more games on the road trip after this one, they might want to win today if they want to stay anywhere near .500.  The bottom of the East is better this year, and it's hard to see a 35-win team making the playoffs this year.  This is a winnable game, since the Heat...

Jim Harding of the Chicago Tribune: "By now, most of you probably know that Bulls uber-rookie Derrick Rose needed a trip to the hospital and 10 stitches after cutting his left arm on a knife he was using to slice an apple in bed.

By J.E. Skeets Kirk Hinrich and Rose can play the point. Off guards Ben Gordon (his numbers as a PG over the years are quite good), Thabo Sefolosha, and Larry Hughes all have point and shooting guard skills.

Mike McGraw of the Arlington Heights Daily Herald: "General manager John Paxson has said he will not use a strategy of creating cap room in 2010. That sounds like a smart decision, since the Bulls demonstrated in 2000 what can happen when a team puts all its eggs into the free-agent basket. A 1...

By your friendly BullsBlogger Paxson was a little less assuring. He said 'process' at a ridiculous rate (granted, VDN started saying it as well...), again mentioned how he felt the hire would 'resonate', and got a little twitchy when asked about the contract terms as well as the upcoming draft pick. But Pax did make some pret...

What the Bulls really need is a leader. Sure, a low post scorer would be great, but they need someone that will run the show. Someone that isn’t afraid to step in and turn it up a notch. Someone that would bolster an energetic attack that the city hasn’t seen in over a decade. Alongside Luol Deng, Jo...

By FLCeltsFan The Bulls WILL look like FOOLS and the punchline is Boylan. This will be a joke..literally!! The biggest joke that can be played on us at this point is a win to give us this ounce of hope that we can make the playoffs. The only joke will be on us (the fan base)...as the horri-bulls will blow the game in the 4th yet again. and I can't wait to explode when Bimbo the Clown puts in the small lineup to start the 4th. Even if six of the Celtics' best players became deathly ill and missed the game tonight, the Bulls should still lose just on principal I'm defecting to the Celtics.

By Sports2 Tyrus Thomas is clueless on the court, really isn't trying hard enough, and isn't liked by, well, almost everyone. Luol Deng wants out. Noah has gone to significant lengths to try and develop his skills, and has received very little support from the Bulls.

By David Friedman The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls recently took part in one of the largest trades in NBA history but Cleveland's 95-86 home victory over Chicago on Sunday once again showed that the biggest difference between the squads is one player who was not dealt: LeBron James had 37 points, six rebounds and six assists, including six points and one assist in the final 3:10. Former Cav Larry Hughes led the Bulls in scoring (23 points) and assists (four) while also grabbing five rebounds. Former Cav Drew Gooden also had a good game (11 points, 10 rebounds). Newly acquired Cav Wally Szczerbiak, who arrived in Cleveland from Seattle along with Delonte West as part of the Cleveland-Chicago trade, was the only Cav other than James to reach double fi...   [read the full post]

By David Friedman The surprise team so far this season, the Portland Trail Blazers, earned yet another win on Thursday, outlasting the Chicago Bulls--arguably the most disappointing team this season--115-109 in double overtime. Brandon Roy had 25 points, 11 assists, six rebounds and two steals. A bruised tailbone slowed Roy down in the second overtime but Jarrett Jack (17 points, five assists, four rebounds) then took over, putting Portland ahead for good with a three point play with just :19 remaining in the second overtime. Travis Outlaw added 21 points for the Blazers, who had six players score in double figures. Ben Gordon, thriving in his new sixth man role, had a game-high 32 points, shooting 15-27 from the field, but his late turnover led directly...   [read the full post]

By Matt There isn’t much to say that hasn’t been said the past couple of weeks. I thought it was time, and I think a lot of Bulls fans felt the same way, regardless of their opinion of Skiles as a coach in general. Kelly Dwyer has an (expected) well-done synopsis of Skiles’ career in Chicago.

54-32 -- The Bulls scoring advantage inside the paint over Seattle. 27-- Ben Gordon’s total points for the game. The Chicago guard, along with Kirk Hinrich (15 points, eight assists), carried the Bulls. 18 -- The number of turnovers for Seattle, resulting in 24 points for Chicago.

By Eric Williams You can lose sleep over it but is pretty simple. We have to make shots. You have to step up and make them," coach Scott Skiles told USA Today. "In the games we have struggled to make shots, a common denominator has been our ballhandling and our passing. We are making it tough on our shooters."

By David Friedman Kobe Bryant is still laboring as a result of the groin injury that he suffered during Friday's loss to Golden State but with more than a little help from his friends the Lakers defeated the Bulls 103-91 in Chicago. Sasha Vujacic led six double figure scorers for the Lakers with 19 points, shooting 6-10 from the field. Bryant had 18 points on 7-19 shooting. He started out 3-10 in the first half, then made his first four shots in the third quarter before cooling off again. Bryant also had six rebounds, two assists, three steals and one blocked shot; his +13 plus/minus rating was the third best on the team, trailing the +18 efforts of both Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum (Vujacic's plus/minus rating was +6). Odom had 17 points and a game-high 16 rebounds, i...   [read the full post]

Chicago Bulls guard Ben Gordon talks about the Kobe trade rumors and the pressure of being the starting shooting guard in Chicago.

By Lang Whitaker But they didn’t. Instead, the PA announcer leaned into the mic and bellowed, “From North…Carolina…at guard…6-6…Michael…Jordan!” “So Mike,” I asked, “is this the only restaurant you own in Chicago now?” “Um, Dad? I’m standing next to Michael Jordan right now.”

That can't be – the Bulls were full of high-priced talent during their reign of dominance in the 90's, right? Not exactly. Chicago actually had one of the greatest bargains in sports' history at one point. During the 1995-96 season, their fourth championship season in six years, the Bulls e...
