Don’t look now, but the Bulls are streaking! Two straight wins, one against the best team in the west, one against the worst team in the west, with Saturday night’s 119-111 win over the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are a mess. Through three quarters, they shot 15-of-23 on threes, which carried them throughout most of the game. But the Bulls…
In yet another gut wrenching chapter in the Lonzo Ball knee recovery saga, ESPN reported on Thursday morning that “there is a growing possibility” the Bulls guard may need a third surgery, which would hold him out at least six more months. Ugh. The Sun Times followed up with reporting that indicates the Bulls haven’t come to a decision on…
Did that really just happen? What? The Denver Nuggets are the best team in the West. They have the best home record in the league. They have the second best offensive rating in the league. And of course, the Bulls come to town and wipe the floor with them 117-96. After an ugly four-game stretch including losses to the Pacers,…
When you shoot over 60 percent from the field, it’s rare you lose a basketball game. The Bulls were not so fortunate in Sunday afternoon’s 125-122 loss to the Pacers. This was a critical game for the standings. With the play in race on the line, the Bulls had an opportunity to put themselves back in the driver’s seat in…
The Bulls sisyphean battle against math continues. With Kevin Durant joining the fold, the Phoenix Suns are legitimate title contenders. They’re loaded with star power, they have an interior anchor, floor spacers galore and Kevin freaking Durant. So when the Bulls lost 125-104 on Friday night, falling to 29-35 on the season, it’s not necessarily a bad loss in the…
What do you get when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? A 104-98 basketball game in the year 2023. That’s not to say the Raptors are an unstoppable force and the Bulls are certainly not an immovable object, but their strengths do clash. Bulls strengths: getting to the free throw line, defensive rebounding, not turning the ball over. Raptors…
On Friday night, the Bulls held the Brooklyn Nets to a then season-low 87 points. In Sunday’s 102-82 win against the Washington Wizards they registered their second straight season low in points allowed in the first two games of the Patrick Beverley era. The Bulls own the sixth best defense in the NBA and the league’s best defense since the…
Ok, no one expected this. Having lost their six games leading into All-Star Break, the Bulls had an opportunity to go the other direction and give themselves the best possible odds to retain the top-four protected pick they owe to the Orlando Magic. Instead, they took the other approach: All in on the 10th seed. Patrick Beverley entered the starting…
Well, we have ourselves a Tuesday morning news dump. Most importantly, per Shams Charania, the Bulls are expected to shut down Lonzo Ball for the remainder of the season. https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1628052188890288130 This comes without a surprise. With just 23 games remaining in the 2022-23 season, Ball would need significant time to ramp up to game speed before coming back to play.…
The Chicago Bulls did a thing. Patrick Beverley is coming home to Chicago. After standing pat at the trade deadline, the Bulls have entered the buyout market, signing Beverley, 34, to a rest-of-season contract, details yet to be reported.
