    Chicago Bulls – Jimmy Butler Doesn’t Get Tired

    There was more than one unique thing to focus on during the 128-125 win by the Chicago Bulls against the Orlando Magic in triple overtime. Some of it was the clutch shooting by Mike Dunleavy, Glen Davis, Jameer Nelson and Tony Snell; however, Jimmy Butler playing 60 minutes defies logic and stands out more than anything else.

  • Suns vs Bulls – Injuries Don’t Always Get in the Way

    Suns vs Bulls – Injuries Don’t Always Get in the Way

    Sometimes momentum is stronger than everything. The Chicago Bulls have started to play well recently, so giving up on Luol Deng and missing Carlos Boozer due to injury doesn’t stop them from beating the Phoenix Suns 92-87, getting some great performances from Taj Gibson and Joakim Noah.

  • Hawks vs Bulls – Things Starting to Click

  • Celtics vs Bulls – Ugly as Expected

    The last few years have never brought us battles of beautiful basketball between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics. The latest edition? No different, but with an almost full roster and Joakim Noah playing the point-center role to perfection, it wasn’t a very fair fight.

    Who Should Play in the 2014 NBA All-Star Game?

    The first voting numbers of the All-Star game ballots show that being great on the floor isn’t as important as popularity. LeBron James and Kevin Durant are obvious choices and easy picks to make for the starting lineups, but guys like LaMarcus Aldridge and Joakim Noah might be more deserving that others who have gotten more votes than them, which brought us to create are own list of who should be in the All-Star game.

    Chicago Bulls – Things Starting to Look Better

    Beating the Milwaukee Bucks by only one point isn’t exactly an indication of greatness or improvement from the Chicago Bulls, but getting Jimmy Butler back from injury after too long a time finally gives them the option to have some sort of depth off the bench and a lineup that consists of five players, each finally playing in the position he’s meant to be in.

  • Chicago Bulls – Derrick Rose Being the Barometer Without Even Playing

    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.

    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.
