Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose at the Center of Every Hope
When Derrick Rose won the MVP in 2011 and led the Chicago Bulls to the best record in the NBA, the organization was surprised, but suddenly realized they had a title contender on their hands. More than two years later, the Bulls are still waiting for that promise to be answered.

Chicago Bulls – Luol Deng is Being Pushed Out of the Team
Was picking a small forward (Tony Snell) the best thing for the Chicago Bulls in the 2013 NBA Draft? Time will tell, but the obvious thing is that Luol Deng and his expiring contract aren’t wanted in the organization as they once was, and the day when Jimmy Butler finally takes over the starting position isn’t too far away.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Might Trade Luol Deng
The emergence of Jimmy Butler during his second season, usually at the expense of an injured Luol Deng, has the Chicago Bulls thinking that it might be time to finally pull the trigger on a trade they’ve been considering for a very long time. With Butler on the rise and Deng becoming more and more of a health risk, there’s a chance that before his contract runs out in 2014, the two-time All-Star will find himself on another team.

Chicago Bulls – Carlos Boozer, Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah & Nate Robinson Have Nothing to Be Ashamed Of
For the second time in three years, the Chicago Bulls lose to the Miami Heat in a playoff series, both of them lasting only 5 games.

Jimmy Butler is Superhuman, Even Compared to LeBron James
There are quite a few heroes the Chicago Bulls can be proud of after shocking the NBA-viewing public and winning Game 1 against the Miami Heat – Joakim Noah by doing a little bit of everything, Nate Robinson for being once again huge in the fourth quarter despite the utter lack of faith in him from people outside the team. But it’s Jimmy Butler, for not getting a second of rest, and his incredible defense on LeBron James, that deserves more praise than anyone else.

Chicago Bulls Winning Game 1 Wasn’t Something Anyone Expected
Rust, fatigue or too much rest. Those are the usual excuses when a better team, the Miami Heat, coming off a first round sweep, falls at home against the Chicago Bulls, missing too many players to be taken too seriously, but comes away with a shocking win to open their conference semifinals series, thanks to nothing short of a heroic performance from Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah, Nate Robinson and Marco Belinelli.

Chicago Bulls, a Team No One Wants to Meet in the NBA Playoffs
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.

Chicago Bulls – Luol Deng Keep a Rivalry Streak Going
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.
