  • Chicago Bulls – Joakim Noah Steps Up in Season Opener

    Chicago Bulls – Joakim Noah Steps Up in Season Opener

    A strange season for the Chicago Bulls, who begin this season not knowing exactly where to aim and how far. Without Derrick Rose and the knowledge of when he’ll return, predictions and speculations don’t mean much. All that’s left is for those who remain – Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Rip Hamilton to continue to play the kind of basketball that has made this team so successful over the last couple of season, with Rose and without him.

    Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose Keeping Busy Off the Courts

    The NBA preseason is almost over, and the Chicago Bulls enter the 2012-2013 NBA season with much lower expectations than in the previous season, knowing that they won’t have Derrick Rose for more than half a season. What’s their big star doing in the meantime? Rehabbing, and giving back to kids from neighborhoods like the one he grew up in.

  • 5 Most Profitable NBA Teams

    Last summer and fall was all about big markets, small markets and owners making a profit. As you can see from the pinnacle of the NBA’s most profitable teams, consisting of the Houston Rockets, Detroit Pistons, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks and way above the rest, the Chicago Bulls, playing in a big city is a pretty good way to make money off your team.

    Chicago Bulls – Going With Taj Gibson, Forgetting Carlos Boozer

    If the Chicago Bulls see this season that Taj Gibson can take over the role of starting power forward, there’s a very good chance that Carlos Boozer will spend less and less time on the floor, and eventually find his way out of the team through the NBA’s amnesty clause.

  • Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose Crying at New Adidas Shoe Unveiling

    It’s been nearly five months since Derrick Rose injured his left knee, tearing his ACL, effectively ending any chance and hopes the Chicago Bulls had of making it deep in the postseason. His recovery process, documented by Adidas in ‘The Return of D Rose’ and everything revolving his life at the moment caused the former NBA MVP to break down in tears at the launch of his new sneaker.

  • 10 Oldest Teams in the NBA

    People like to talk about old teams, but eight out of the NBA’s 10 oldest teams heading into the 2012-2013 season were in the postseason last spring, with the Miami Heat (second oldest), with only LeBron James and Chris Bosh under the age of 30 among the key players, finishing as the NBA champions. Dwight Howard is also the only major piece for the Lakers still in the third decade of his life.

  • Derrick Rose, in the Injury Footsteps of Michael Jordan

    When Derrick Rose comes back from his ACL injury, which now looks no sooner than March 2013, the Chicago Bulls would love him to be as good as Michael Jordan was when he came back from his injury during the 1985-1986, helping the team eventually reach the playoffs, leading to his ‘god-like’ 63 point game.

  • Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose and the Lost Season

    After the Chicago Bulls lost to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals over a year ago, the future was bright. Derrick Rose was healthy and the reigning MVP, with a deep, young and talented squad around him. The NBA Finals and NBA titles were just around the corner for a very promising team.

  • Steve Nash Prefers Money to Championship Promises

    The overall perception of Steve Nash and the free agency period is that he’s willing to give up on a lot of money in order to win a title ring. Well, guess again. Nash is probably going to have to take a pay cut from the $11.7 million he made last season, but he’s not planning on making too much of a trim.

  • Chicago Bulls – Steve Nash or Andre Miller to Fill in For Derrick Rose?

    The Chicago Bulls have a point guard problem – Derrick Rose’s injury didn’t just kill their title hopes for 2012 by bowing out in the first round of the postseason despite being the number 1 seed in the East. Rose is going to miss a substantial portion of the 2012-2013 NBA season, and the preparations for next season must be made accordingly.
