Cavs vs Bulls – D.J. Augustin Starting to Fit in
The injury list is endless, but the Chicago Bulls aren’t giving up on this season, especially when they meet an even more dysfunctional team in the Cleveland Cavaliers, beating the Cavs 100-84 thanks to some great defense and a big night from D.J. Augustin and Carlos Boozer.

Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose Being the Barometer Without Even Playing
There seems to be a connection between how the Chicago Bulls do during a season and the optimism coming from Derrick Rose regarding his comeback chances. Last season, when it seemed he’d be coming back early, the Bulls went on a run that got them pretty near the lead in the East. Now that Rose is announcing he might be back for the playoffs, we’re suddenly getting the best from his team once more, beating the Miami Heat by 20 points.

Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose Needs Patience & Time
Being so good, maybe too good, in the preseason, raised the expectations bar from the Chicago Bulls and especially Derrick Rose heading into opening night.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Will Use Amnesty Clause on Carlos Boozer
While there have been denials from the Chicago Bulls regarding the prospect of them using the amnesty clause on Carlos Boozer heading into the 2013-2014 NBA season, it’s hard not to think that might be a sensible course of action for them.

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.

Chicago Bulls, Don’t Need Scoring to Succeed
If the games in this series continue to be like this, the Chicago Bulls don’t really need to worry. Despite only 14 points in the fourth quarter and less than 40% from the field, there was just about enough offense from Carlos Boozer and Luol Deng to give them the edge, while the defense of Joakim Noah, Jimmy Butler and even Nazr Mohammed held things together to take a 2-1 lead in the series.
