NBA Summer League action for the Bulls doesn’t officially get underway until Tuesday night, but the team got a head start on Monday evening with a scrimmage against the Cavs at Durango High School in Las Vegas.

Following the scrimmage, Bulls Summer League Head Coach Pete Myers talked with Chuck Swirsky, who is in Vegas for the action this week.…

The Bulls have arrived in Las Vegas for NBA Summer League action, participating in a team shootaround on Monday with a scrimmage against the Cleveland Cavaliers set for the evening. 

Pete Myers, the team’s longtime Assistant Coach who earned roster spots himself via summer league action during his playing career, is serving as the team’s Head Coach in Las Vegas. …

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 …

It wasn’t love at first sight, but it was close. They’d gone through one date after another and nothing really was mutual. Until one day, John Paxson ran into Vinny Del Negro at the Chicago draft camp and they began talking hoops. And things seemed to click between the two former court rivals. This seemed different.

It was an appropriate setting Monday in the Berto Center for what could have been the Bulls last full practice of the 2009-10 NBA season and perhaps Vinny Del Negro’s last as Bulls coach.

“Everyone is frustrated because we know we can play better,” said Del Negro of the …

The good guys finally are wearing black.

The Bulls Thursday with Game 3 of the first round playoff series are going back to all the players honoring team tradition and wearing black sneakers after they couldn’t get everyone on board in Cleveland.

The reason for the 0-2 start? We’ll see.

As Bulls fans know, wearing black sneakers became a team …

The Bulls plan, and I agreed with it, has been to keep those other guys out of the game because James knows he needs them and tries desperately to get them going. James couldn’t in Game 2, so he took over.

It was impressive.

“The goal is for him to take jump shots,” Kirk Hinrich said after Bulls practice Wednesday. …

The Cleveland Cavaliers Monday needed probably the world’s best basketball player having one of his best ever playoff games to beat the eighth-seeded Bulls at home, the 112-102 victory sending the Cavs up 2-0 in this playoff opening series.

So if you are the Bulls you don’t feel great about losing, but you know now you can play with this …
