In basketball, as in life, there occasionally are times like the Bulls’ unusually uncompetitive 109-94 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Call it: Saturday happens!

“In this league,” offered Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, “you usually get what you deserve.”

It was stunning in many respects as Derrick Rose with eight points, six assists and five turnovers likely had the poorest game …

If Dwight Howard doesn’t want to play for the Bulls after what he witnessed Friday night in Orlando, then he probably doesn’t care that much about success.

The Bulls methodically made the Magic disappear — I know, corny — in a fairly comfortable 97-83 victory that moved the Bulls to 7-1 with their best start since the 1996-97 season.

“Quite …

The Bulls’ 104-64 annihilation of the Memphis Grizzlies was wonderful for the Bulls in their home opener, but worse than anyone can imagine for Memphis, and perhaps legions of music lovers worldwide.

Elvis has to be dead. Because he had to be rolling over in his grave about this one.

“Embarrassing and humiliating,” lamented Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins.

Though it …

You almost hate to see it end, arguably the greatest regular season in Bulls franchise history with Wednesday’s 97-92 win over the New Jersey Nets.

Greatest because there never has been one as successful and unexpected, the Bulls regarded preseason as perhaps no better than the league’s 10^th best team and looking up at no one at the end.…

So that’s what it looks like when everything works.

Yes, the Bulls Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers blew a 51-point lead, but ended up winning 121-76.

“We penetrated on offense, played good defense,” said Derrick Rose, who along with Luol Deng led the Bulls with 22 points while adding 12 assists and zero turnovers.  “Our help side defense was really …

The good news is that Kobe Bryant views Derrick Rose as one of the NBA’s elite players at the young age of 22. The bad news is that Bryant isn’t ready to hand over anything to Rose or anyone else in the NBA for that matter as he and the Lakers seek their third straight championship.

“I think the sky …

After a successful road trip, now the Bulls add one of the game’s most prolific scoring and rebounding power forwards.

Yes, they really may have something special going here.

The Bulls Saturday finished perhaps the franchise’s best month since the Michael Jordan championship years, not necessarily in record, but in commitment and promise with still another rugged and unlikely comeback …

Tom Thibodeau coached a heck of a good game Friday in Denver with Derrick Rose out with a stiff neck, Carlos Boozer yet to play and Taj Gibson struggling on a bad ankle and ineffective.

Thibodeau roused the Bulls from a disastrous start when they fell behind 24-7 and again 56-38 to open the third quarter. He refused to believe …

The Bulls have signed a backup point guard, which is something many have suggested. But not for the reasons often raised about concerns with depth at that position.

The Bulls added John Lucas III to their roster on Friday. Lucas, who was released by Chicago in training camp, was signed in part because the Bulls might not have Derrick Rose …

With the release last week of Kyle Weaver and John Lucas III, the Bulls continue to monitor the waiver wire to pick up a 14^th player.

They’ve mostly been looking at point guards, though as a 14^th player it’s most likely the player would not be a rotation player and used primarily as a practice player unless there …
