Bulls players Friday met with management and coaches in the Berto Center, the last official team function and left to head into their offseason.

Luol Deng and Joakim Noah will prepare for the Olympics and most head to their homes around the country, while Derrick Rose waits for surgery on his torn knee ligament.

While most players drove out of…

When you ask members of the Bulls to talk about the race in the Eastern Conference, it’s a reasonably safe bet that they’ll say they’re chasing the Miami Heat.

The Heat, after all, defeated the Bulls in last year’s Eastern Conference Finals in five games before falling to the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.

Miami players, however, are giving…

Derrick Rose’s first game back from missing 12 in a row with a groin injury didn’t start out like he planned.

The reigning NBA MVP was limited to only seven points in the first half as the Knicks sprinted out to a 27-6 lead during Sunday’s afternoon game at Madison Square Garden.

The Bulls chipped away at the deficit…

Derrick Rose could possibly play Thursday against the Boston Celtics, though I personally doubt he will. And there’s apparently no misunderstanding between the Bulls and coach Tom Thibodeau regarding the discussions on Thibodeau’s future with the team.

Those were some of the issues that Bulls General Manager Gar Forman addressed before a private team fundraising auction and dinner at the…

Shaler Halimon isn’t walking through the door. Kornel David isn’t walking through the door. Fabricio Oberto isn‘t walking through the door.

No, the Bulls and their gaudy 16-3 record are basically going to have to go with what they have, and that includes without Luol Deng for at least a few more games.

Deng and team officials confirmed Tuesday that…

Carlos Boozer didn’t take the bait Tuesday night after perhaps his best game as a Bull with 31 points, 26 in the first half, in the wipeout win over the Phoenix Suns.

Reporters wanted to hear Boozer say things were different and his scoring touch was back and he was feeling like a dominant force again, but Boozer would have…

The Bulls hit the quarter pole of this reduced NBA season Friday night in Boston for the nationally televised ESPN game. And they go into the game with the quickly aging Celtics with the best record in the Eastern Conference by a game and a half.

Which means Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau may be on the way to coaching the…

The defense for the Bulls, we knew, was good. So how do you get better? Improved offense, obviously, for a team ranked 20th in scoring and 13th in shooting last season.

And while it’s not much of a sample with the Bulls 1-1 heading into Thursday’s game in Sacramento, the Bulls have gotten worse. They were 22nd in scoring and…

The NBA generally tries to set the premier Christmas Day game matchups as possible Finals previews. So, predictably, the Miami Heat play the defending champion Dallas Mavericks and the Bulls play the Los Angeles Lakers.

And how delicious would that encore be once again after 20 years when the Bulls won their first NBA championship in Los Angeles in 1991.…

History is most difficult to recognize when you are watching it occur. You sort of have the idea you may be seeing something special, but you never can fully grasp the significance, from Abraham Lincoln’s words to Babe Ruth’s deeds.

After all, you figure, if you are there it is just life. But as it’s been said, the biography of…
