    Bulls vs Raptors – Rose Isn’t Needed For First Road Win of the Season

    While Chicago Bulls fans are still waiting to see a more efficient version of Derrick Rose, getting their first road win of the season, 96-80 over the Toronto Raptors, who aren’t going anywhere while DeMar DeRozan and Rudy Gay continue to contend each night on who has the worse shooting day, isn’t such a bad way to continue without their struggling point guard.

    Knicks vs Bulls: Highs & Lows of Derrick Rose

    It’s going to take Derrick Rose some time before he gets used to the level of competition he now has to face. A great preseason doesn’t erase almost 18 months of competitive basketball. And yet through all the misses and turnovers, he hasn’t lost that fearlessness in him, helping him lead the Chicago Bulls to a 82-81 win over the New York Knicks, hitting the game winning shot with a tough floater as only 5.7 seconds remained on the clock.

    The preseason isn’t over yet, but it’s not really a question or a doubt anymore. Derrick Rose is back, maybe even with some sort of vengeance, which means that the Chicago Bulls just might be the team to watch out for in the Eastern Conference.

    Moving into the future while shedding off excess weight. The Chicago Bulls media day was mostly about Derrick Rose announcing and predicting just how good he’ll be next season, but noticing Luol Deng avoiding the subject of what might be is final season for the team wasn’t hard to do.

  • NBA Rumors – Two Trades That Might Happen This Season

    NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Don’t Want to Re-Sign Luol Deng

    The Chicago Bulls don’t mind having Luol Deng on the team, but not at his current rate (and probably not close to it), and are strongly considering for this season to be the last for him on the team, enabling them to go after a high-profile free agent next season or get something via trade for Deng.
