Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard said he’s trying to live in the moment amidst continuous speculation on where he may—or may not—end up between now and next week’s NBA trade deadline.

Speaking to the media following the Magic’s shootaround at the United Center on Thursday, Howard opened his comments with his best Charles Barkley impersonation.

“Listen, if you want to …

Great players don’t always make potential game winning shots. But they take them, which is what Derrick Rose did Wednesday in Milwaukee, and his step back jumper settled through the net as time expired for a 106-104 Bulls victory.

“It’s a great feeling,” said Rose, who finished with 30 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds. “We’re just happy we got …

The Bulls wanted to get a veteran player like Richard Hamilton for the playoffs. It looks like that’s what it might be.

Not really, as the Bulls Tuesday confirmed Hamilton had suffered just a right shoulder bruise and sprain and contusion instead of, as feared, something more serious when he collided with Roy Hibbert just over a minute into Monday’s …

The Bulls were finished with the pregame warmups and preparing for the last minute instructions before playing the Philadelphia 76ers Sunday. It’s a time when Derrick Rose usually sits stoically and contemplates the game, his facial mask rarely revealing much. This time was different. The specter of the 76ers Feb. 1 win in which the starters were benched down the …

It wasn’t a blowout win Friday in Cleveland like last time for the Bulls, though it looked like it with a 112-91 final in which no Bulls starter scored in the fourth quarter and only Luol Deng played, albeit briefly.

Deng had a season high 24 points and just his second game shooting better than 50 percent since he hurt …

President Barack Obama has voiced his support for the Chicago Bulls before. But in an interview with ESPN’s Bill Simmons on Wednesday, he raised the stakes, saying he believes the Bulls will win a championship before his time in office ends.

When asked by Simmons, Grantland’s editor-in-chief, how many times he has envisioned welcoming the Bulls to the White House, …
