DeMar DeRozan is about to head to Salt Lake City this weekend for his second consecutive All-Star appearance. And yet, the biggest impact he has made on the Chicago Bulls is off the court. Veteran mentorship is a difficult thing to quantify. The Bulls have had their share of leaders over the last few years, from Thaddeus Young and Garrett Temple…
It was a sad night at the United Center. The #TNTBulls streak, alive for ten years, but dormant for six, is over. The Bulls drop their sixth straight game, losing 112-110 to the Bucks. The Bulls are now 26-33, tying a season-worst seven games below .500. They are two games out of the tenth seed and two games away from…
You thought the Bulls blowing a 21-point lead to the Pacers on January 14 was bad? Let me raise you a 24-point lead blown to the Pacers on Wednesday night. The Bulls lost to the Indiana Pacers 113-117 and are now six games below .500. This loss is even more deflating and flummoxing than the last. The Bulls haven’t won…
It may seem counterintuitive, but adding Russell Westbrook would help address the Bulls three-point shooting problem. At least one element of it. Hear me out. The Bulls started 0-for-16 from three in their 100-91 loss to the Orlando Magic Monday night. They finished 3-of-21, capping off a stretch of putrid shooting over the last five games: 5-for-21 vs. Cleveland, 5-for-26…
Scoring fewer than 90 points in today’s NBA is a difficult thing to do. The Bulls have done it twice this week. Following the Bulls 97-89 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, the Bulls are reeling. They are plagued by the same problems they’ve experienced for over a calendar year, but lately, it’s taken a turn for the worse.…
After letting the NBA Trade Deadline pass without making any moves at the deadline, the Bulls EVP of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas claimed that the powers have shifted west, opening up the competitive landscape. Of course, he was referring to the Brooklyn Nets, who just traded Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Well, before Cameron Johnson and Mikal Bridges could even…
As you surely know by now, the Bulls stood pat at the trade deadline. As a team that had options to go to the extreme in one direction or another, fans are irritated that the Bulls front office chose neither. Bulls Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Arturas Karnisovas addressed media in Brooklyn prior to Thursday night’s game against the…
On February 7, 2023, LeBron James added to his legacy of greatness in the NBA becoming the all-time leading scorer. 38,388 points, and counting. Meanwhile, the once also great Bulls added to their legacy of post-Jordan mediocrity* with a 104-89 loss (a season-low in total scoring) to the Memphis Grizzlies. *I felt bad for writing that the Bulls have been…
The Bulls were playing this one a little too comfortably, up only five points heading into the fourth quarter. But then it happened. Andre Drummond and the second unit dominated. Remember that bench mob that carried the Bulls during their first stretch of the season? Led by Goran Dragic and Drummond, the Bulls played with pace, generated turnovers and got…
With the NBA trade deadline coming up Thursday afternoon, there is a lot of questioning and forecasting what the Chicago Bulls might do in their final chance to shake up the roster prior to the NBA draft and free agency this summer. “I don’t think he’s going to look at, ‘here’s a handful of games,'” Billy Donovan said before the…
