On Thursday I experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. It started off so innocently with a cup of tea with my fellow broadcasters Neil Funk and Bill Wennington. In early afternoon prior to our arrival at the White House to meet President Barack Obama we learned of the passing of Bulls great Norm Van Lier.…

The Bulls would love to bag a win before the All Star break as the Heat make their first visit to the United Center The two teams met in late December as Mario Chalmers got the best of Derrick Rose at the point. Number two pick Michael Beasley played very well in fourth quarter as the Heat prevailed. A win …

Despite the loss the Bulls came away from this seven game road trip with four wins and could have easily won two more. They played with passion, energy and purpose. Too much Dirk in OT. Give credit to the future Hall of Famer along with Jason Kidd who nailed two big shots, a three in regulation and a two ball …

Arrived in Houston, Texas at 6:30PM Central time and once I dropped off my bags it was off to a sports establishment to catch the Bulls Wednesday night opponent, the New Orleans Hornets.

Chris Paul was incredible assisiting on the Hornets opening seven baskets and 9 of the first 11 buckets. He is so good, he is worth the price …

Tonight's audio preview:

I actually stepped outside today running a few errands and that's enough. After three games in four days a nice afternoon/evening to kick back. Of course I HAD to watch NBA ball.

I hope you're noticing what the Magic are doing. They went in to Staples and beat Kobe and the Lakers. Orlando is 32-8. Dwight Howard …

A win is a win is a win. The Bulls survived a Kevin Martin fourth quarter blitz to beat the Kings 99-94 at the United Center. Martin went off in the final quarter finishing with a game high 29.

Derrick Rose refused to let the Kings get comfortable as he took control int he second quarter on strong moves to …

Just returned from shoot around. Bulls media relations assistant Shaun Hickombottom informed us that Derrick Rose picked up the December Rookie of the Month award. That’s two for two for the young man who remains grounded and humbled. He is the present and the future. The franchise is in good hands with Rose and I’ve mentioned on and off the …

The anticipation mounts for the Rose-Beasley matchup but in essence it’s really about Rose and Mario Chalmers. They know each other very well and the intensity will be as equal to if not more since the NCAA championship game as Kansas prevailed over Memphis.  The two met at the Summer League in Orlando.  I was at that game and Chalmers …

Here in Charlotte on a sleepy Monday night so Bill Wennington and I checked out the Bobcats road game in Atlanta.  Most of the patrons at the downtown establishment couldn't care less about the Bobcats. They were focused on the Browns vs. Eagles game.  NBA is an after thought here. The days of the Hornets drawing sellout after sellout crowds …

Update: Make it six and counting as the Kings are making a change. ESPN is reporting former Bulls' star Reggie Theus has been shown the door. He lasted less than a season and a half. Kenny Natt takes over. Look for Theus to wind up back in college or return to broadcasting.

NBA schedule makers want to get in …
