The end of the Chicago Bulls’ season is finally here, and that means it’s time to start looking ahead. Arturas Karnisovas sat down with the media Saturday afternoon to address questions about the performance of the team, his evaluation of the group including strengths and flaws, and the path ahead. My overall thoughts are that this was a pretty disappointing…
The Play-In Tournament perfectly encapsulated the Bulls season. A slow start against the Raptors flipped fast after the Bulls started turning them over, scoring in transition and getting some good luck when it came to opponent three-point percentage. They pulled out a 109-105 win in Toronto to keep their season alive. Until their second Play-In game in Miami. Feeling good…
The Bulls live to fight another day. Trailing by 11 at the half and as many as 19 on the night, the Bulls pulled off an improbable comeback in hostile territory, finishing off the Raptors season with a 109-105 Play-In Tournament win on Wednesday night. Deep exhale. The first half was not pretty. The Raptors were aggressive from the jump,…
The Chicago Bulls are one game away from the end of their season. They’re also one game away from advancing to a game that would put them in the NBA playoffs for a second straight season with a victory. In preparation for Wednesday’s win-or-go home against the Raptors, it is important to analyze the season series between the Bulls and…
With little to nothing on the line for the Bulls, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Patrick Beverley were held out to rest. The Mavericks, who are doing whatever they can retain their top-ten protected pick owed to the Knicks, one-upped. They held Kyrie Irving, Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Green, Christian Wood and Maxi Kleber out. They did, however, let Luka…
The Chicago Bulls can’t have nice things. The 8th seed was there for them on a silver platter. But to get there, they needed to beat the Atlanta Hawks. Without Trae Young and De’Andre Hunter in the lineup, the Bulls had no reason to lose this game. But they did. Badly. 123-105. “It was a must-win game for us, and…
Over the weekend, the NBA and the NBA Players Association came to terms on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement that has implications ranging from a raise in the Salary Cap and Luxury Tax and putting guardrails on how much teams can spend to the approval of the mid-season tournament and minimum game requirements for NBA awards. Alex Caruso took some…
After taking some time off to reflect and work through some personal mental health issues, Andre Drummond rejoined the team on Friday, but spoke to the media for the first time since his return after Sunday’s game. “Everybody was there for me,” Drummond said. “Nobody really knew what was going on. I was dealing with a lot mentally and I…
Now that was a whirlwind of a basketball game. “A tale of two halves” has never been a more appropriate cliche. At the end of Sunday’s half, the Grizzlies led the Bulls by 15 points. They were 13-of-25 of threes and had only turned the ball over twice. Meanwhile, the Bulls were shooting 44.4 percent from the field and had…
