Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau didn’t win Saturday’s game against the Bucks, which the Bulls did, 83-75.

Coaches don’t get anything in the box score. But it was one wonderful sequence late in the fourth quarter that guaranteed the game for the Bulls and gave a look at one big reason this Bulls team has responded so positively and performed…

On the day the Bulls didn’t do anything they did something special and impressive.

The Bulls Thursday in defeating the Miami Heat 93-89 outplayed the Heat, especially down the stretch, muscled them and made them back off, LeBron James closing the game with a wild three that missed and Chris Bosh retreating to a one of 18 shooting night as…

Breakfast doesn’t look as enriching as it might have been for the Bulls.

No O.J.

It doesn’t seem like the coffee will be very good: No Brewer.

There’ll be no TV show from Dallas. No. J.R.

And if there was no one to be a Parker.

There’ll be no Lee and no Ellington and no Thornton and basically no change…

When the Bulls and Heat met at the United Center on Jan. 15, the teams were without two of their stars in LeBron James (sprained ankle) and Joakim Noah (thumb).

That simply set the stage for the game’s two Chicago natives, Derrick Rose and Dwyane Wade, to engage in a memorable shootout that saw Rose’s Bulls edge out Wade’s Heat,…

On Wednesday, Heat forward Juwan Howard made headlines when he tabbed Bulls guard Derrick Rose over his teammate, LeBron James, as his choice for NBA MVP.

Following the Heat’s shootaround at the United Center on Thursday, Howard didn’t back off that stance. But perhaps more surprisingly, Rose picked up additional support from another member of the Heat, this time from…

Well, that’s not going to scare the Miami Heat.

Maybe the Heat players had extra large cuts at Gibson’s after watching the game in Chicago and that will slow them down when they play the Bulls Thursday at the United Center.

Because the way the Bulls lost 118-113 to the Toronto Raptors Wednesday, the Bulls couldn’t slow down Michael Sweetney…

Yes, there was the game with the Toronto Raptors Wednesday, which marked the return after missing 30 games (22-8) of Joakim Noah. There was the trade Tuesday of James Johnson, who went to Toronto and saw his former teammates in Toronto. There’s been the ongoing trade talk for perhaps a shooting guard, though it didn’t seem likely late Wednesday that…

It looks like that D-League stint will give James Johnson a chance to play.

Just not with the Bulls.

Johnson, the 2009 Bulls’ first round pick at No. 16, was traded Tuesday to the Toronto Raptors for the Miami Heat’s 2011 first round pick the Raptors held from the sign-and-trade deal for Chris Bosh.

The trade gives the Bulls…

Here comes Joakim back to play Wednesday, and here comes the Miami Heat Thursday to the United Center, as the unofficial post All-Star break stretch drive begins Tuesday in the NBA. If the playoffs started today, it would be Bulls and–uh oh–Carmelo Anthony’s Knicks?

Yes, the much anticipated and too much discussed trade finally is expected to be finalized Tuesday…

What would it have been like if LeBron James came to the Bulls last summer?

Let me say despite what you may have heard or believe, Derrick Rose did nothing to discourage James. But had he come to Chicago, Rose might have turned into a shooting guard.

Because for much of Sunday’s fairly mundane NBA All-Star game won by the…
