    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.

    More light is slowly being shed on the situation with LaMarcus Aldridge and the Portland Trail Blazers, as it seems his agency is trying to push for a trade to the Chicago Bulls, who won’t be giving up on Joakim Noah and Jimmy Butler.

    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. Yet with so many injuries to begin with, from Derrick Rose to Luol Deng and finishing with Kirk Hinrich, the effort, heart, sacrifice and ability that Carlos Boozer, Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah and Nate Robinson have shown in this postseason is nothing but commendable.

  • Jimmy Butler is Superhuman, Even Compared to LeBron James

    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

    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 – Carlos Boozer Might Give Them Home Court Advantage

    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.

    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.
