When the Bulls were 45 It was very good year It was a year for MVP point guards Who did all they would So that Booz and the others could Time to start coming alive When they were 45

I assume Frank Sinatra, the great singer from New Jersey, is rolling around in his grave after that one.

Well,…

After the New Jersey Nets realized they weren’t getting any of the so-called “big three” of last summer’s free agency bonanza, they quickly set their sights on other players, including Carlos Boozer.

Of course, Boozer ultimately decided to sign a five-year deal with the Bulls. And though he missed the team’s first 15 games of the season with a broken…

The Bulls Tuesday defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 90-77. That was good.

The Bulls did so with still another relatively prosaic effort, mostly grind-it-out half court basketball with way too many jump shots and limited movement for most of the game that was bailed out by some very good defense. That was not so good.

So the Bulls moved to 20-10,…

Count Bucks coach Scott Skiles among those who are not surprised at the job veteran Kurt Thomas has done in filling in for the injured Joakim Noah.

“Nothing is going to occur out there that he hasn’t seen before a hundred times,” Skiles said of Thomas, who filled in for Andrew Bogut in Milwaukee at the end of last season…

It was just like old times Sunday in Detroit as the Bulls battled the Pistons to overtime, finally hanging on for a bruising 95-92 victory.

Except it wasn’t exactly Jordan and Isiah and Scottie and Rodman, but Mark Landsberger and Ollie Johnson and Leon Douglas and Ben Poquette.

There was some good news for the Bulls in their 103-95 Christmas Day loss Saturday in New York. The way they played they just might get next Christmas Day off.

“It’s too bad we didn’t get the win,” said Derrick Rose, who did all he could in working on the rarest of games, a quintuple double with 25 points, eight…

Bulls and Knicks, Christmas Day in Madison Square Garden. Yes, that’s a rivalry.

No, the Knicks and Celtics are not a rivalry, as the Knicks wanted to make it a week ago or so when they played Boston and Paul Pierce laughed about it. The Bulls and Knicks, yes, that’s a rivalry.

The nation’s No. 1 city, at least in…

You hear all the time about the ugliness in the nation’s capital, the recalcitrant Congress, the political attacks on the White House, the Bulls/Wizards game.

“A win is a win no matter what,” said Derrick Rose.  “They are a good team and we still came here and got a win.”

The Wizards are not a good team, now 7-20, though…

So that’s what it looks like when everything works.

Yes, the Bulls Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers blew a 51-point lead, but ended up winning 121-76.

“We penetrated on offense, played good defense,” said Derrick Rose, who along with Luol Deng led the Bulls with 22 points while adding 12 assists and zero turnovers.  “Our help side defense was really…

Doug Collins has proven to be a coach with the ability to come in to a new job and make a short-term impact.

So when his Philadelphia 76ers started out the season 3-13, it was clear he had his work cut out for him. However, his team has turned things around since then, going 8-3 over their past 11 games.…
