A long road trip, like the Bulls begin in Los Angeles Wednesday, can be a turning point for an NBA team because you hear it’s a terrific advantage for team bonding. Players can get spend more time together and continue to develop their team continuity.

That is unless they lose. Because then it will be more important to be home …

It’s generally a curiosity when the team from the San Francisco Bay Area comes in as life is somewhat different there. I’ve had some head scratching discussions out there, like when they were considering whether if someone with multiple personalities commits a homicide it is a hostage situation. Or whether vegetarians can eat animal crackers and just how it’s possible …

After the so-called Big Three of this past summer’s free agency class announced they’d be joining forces in Miami, teams quickly turned their attention a group of players that included Carlos Boozer, David Lee and Amar’e Stoudemire.

Both Boozer and Lee met with the Bulls during the first week of July and expressed interest in coming to Chicago. In the …

Our long national (basketball association) nightmare finally is over.

Talk about your fireworks. This July 4th weekend may be about to produce some huge sparks—and duds—around the NBA as the free agent beauty pageant is about to conclude with LeBron James Saturday closing his series of free agency meetings in Akron with the hometown Cavs and finally the Bulls.

He’s expected to be wearing his best sweatpants.

The big …

As the Great One said, “And away we go.”

No, I don’t believe LeBron is going to Miami to form some superhero trio of Flash, Batman and Robin, also known as Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, …

The Bulls Thursday on the night of the NBA draft took another step toward the potential recruitment of a top free agent like LeBron James with a tentative trade to send Kirk Hinrich and the No. 17 pick in the draft to the Washington Wizards, sources close to both teams confirmed.

The Wizards would not be sending anything back to …

Stupid time officially began about seven minutes after the Cavs were knocked out of playoffs Thursday in losing 94-85 to the Boston Celtics to fall four games to two in the Eastern semifinals.
