Entering the final day of the 2012-2013 NBA Season, there is still one ticket to the playoffs up for grabs, going to either the Los Angeles Lakers or the Utah Jazz, while the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Denver Nuggets and Memphis Grizzlies have positional battles in the West; the Atlanta Hawks and the Chicago are the only teams left interested in the finish out East.

If a seasonal sweep over the New York Knicks isn’t all the proof you need, I’m not sure what will be. The Chicago Bulls are unpleasant on the eyes, but they get the job done, despite all of the injuries. Carlos Boozer does a better job than most would like to admit. Luol Deng does a little bit of everything all night, every night, while Jimmy Butler is one of the more pleasant surprised to find out about this season. And then there’s Nate Robinson, who forgets sometimes that he isn’t supposed to play like the best player in the NBA. More
Despite the cheesy Backstreet Boys innuendo in the headline, this is what it must feel for some Chicago Bulls fans, not to mention the people running the team or his teammates, the players, when Rose keeps the fact and date of his actual return to the NBA a national top secret, with the 2012-2013 season almost over, and the playoffs just around the corner. More
For the millionth time – the Chicago Bulls don’t win with efficiently executed offensive basketball. They hustle, grind out gritty wins, who look a little bit easier when someone catches a good shooting day while the defense doesn’t suffer from any meltdowns. And even on a bad day, sometimes, the individual talent of Luol Deng comes out, while the unpredictability of Nate Robinson works in their favor. More
Despite seeing some of their key players dropping like flies, not to mention still waiting for Derrick Rose to return, the Chicago Bulls aren’t that far away from getting a first round home court advantage in the playoffs, thanks to an impressive double-double from Carlos Boozer, leading to a win over a direct rival for the spot they’ve been after.

In the Eastern conference, unlike the Superior West, there are fewer questioned to be answered regarding the final playoff picture in the 2012-2013 NBA season. The Miami Heat won’t lose … More
Those thinking Derrick Rose might make his return fell a victim to an April Fool’s joke. He isn’t injured, but he isn’t returning this season it seems, while the injury list goes longer and longer for the Chicago Bulls, as Taj Gibson joined Joakim Noah, Marco Belinelli and Rip Hamliton while Kirk Hinrich, the only trustworthy guard in the lineup, found himself getting ejected from the game. More
Fighting, defending and hustling to somehow improve and maybe upgrade their NBA playoffs starting spot, the Chicago Bulls are clawing their way towards home advantage in the first series, as Luol Deng becomes more and more offensively dominant and efficient, something that should have happened earlier this season. More
Out of nowhere, it looked like the Chicago Bulls, riding on Tom Thibodeau and Derrick Rose, might become a title contender a little earlier than planned. Then the injury happened, and everything was delayed. Looking ahead at the 2014 summer, the Chicago Bulls are hoping they can get either LeBron James or Dwyane Wade, maybe even both, to create a title-caliber team once again. More
It wouldn’t be accurate to say that the Chicago Bulls stopped LeBron James; they just made life difficult for him and the rest of his teammates with their notoriously good team defense, some exceptional offense from Luol Deng to stop the Miami Heat and their almost NBA record breaking win streak at 27.
