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 – Mike James & Marquis Teague Are The Worst Backup Point Guards in the NBA
It wasn’t hard to guess the Chicago Bulls were in trouble the moment Derrick Rose tore his Meniscus, which meant Kirk Hinrich, Mike James and Marquis Teague were going to have to step up and fill the point guard position. So far, it hasn’t really been happening, especially when it comes to the minutes and contributions from James and Teague.

Bulls vs Cavs – Dion Waiters & Andrew Bynum Shouldn’t Be This Good
They spoke of Andrew Bynum as someone who is never going to be the same with the damage done to his knees. Dion Waiters was mentioned as someone who wants to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and hates playing with Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Keeping Tony Snell in the Lineup
There haven’t been enough games in Tony Snell’s NBA career to determine if his presence on the court is truly that beneficial for the Chicago Bulls in comparison to the other limited options (Mike Dunleavy) they have to backup Jimmy Butler at shooting guard, but his performance on both ends of the floor in their most recent win over the Detroit Pistons suggests Tom Thibodeau should keep him in the lineup for now.

NBA Rumors – Cleveland Cavaliers Want to Trade Dion Waiters
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA so far this season, which is causing some unrest in the locker room and one unhappy camper in Dion Waiters, which has to do with his role coming off the bench and other things.

Bulls vs Pistons – Starting to Move in the Right Direction
The initial shock from losing Derrick Rose for the season is over. The Chicago Bulls know what they have to do in order to make something out of this season, and that usually means returning to their famous, tough as nails defense. It’s easy against the terrible Detroit Pistons, winning 99-79, getting a bit more of the excellent form Luol Deng is in, and a surprising bench contribution from Taj Gibson.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Trading, Not Tanking
The key word this season for many NBA teams is tanking. No one is admitting they’re doing it, but at some point this season, we’re going to see a whole lot of it. Are the Chicago Bulls part of that bunch? Definitely not, despite the Derrick Rose injury, the disappointing start, the loss to the Utah Jazz and all the talk about trading Luol Deng and possibly others to start something of a rebuilding process.

Bulls vs Jazz – Derrick Rose Syndrome in Full Effect
No one should be losing to the mess of a team called the Utah Jazz, but the Chicago Bulls, broken and confused about Derrick Rose missing the rest of the season, managed to reach a new low in a situation that might be spiraling out of control, falling 89-83 in overtime against the worst group of players in the NBA.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Want Jimmy Butler, Not Luol Deng
No one is breaking up the package just yet, but another injury to Derrick Rose has the Chicago Bulls thinking out loud about the whoe Luol Deng – Jimmy Butler dynamic, and whether or not to start looking for teams to send Deng via trade to, and somehow get themselves a point guard.
