That should be all, folks.

Yes, it’s now just 3-0 Bulls over the Indiana Pacers in the first round playoff series with Thursday’s rough and tumble 88-84 Bulls victory.

Sure, the Pacers could decide they want to try to go back to Chicago next week and come storming out in Saturday’s Game 4.

Though it seems like they tried just …

I remember raising this old NBA maxim with Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau during the season. The Bulls, pretty much all the visiting coaches seemed to acknowledge, were probably the hardest playing team in the NBA.

That was responsible, in large part, for the Bulls surprising 62-20 record and likely will get Thibodeau the NBA coach of the year in the …

It’s sort of the 800-pound elephant, nah, really, the 2,200-pound elephant in the Bulls locker room that has been hanging around in the corner all season. Where are they going to find enough scoring to win in the playoffs?

Once again it was from Derrick Rose Monday as the Bulls defeated the Indiana Pacers 96-90, once again overcoming a late …

It came as no surprise that Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard was named the NBA’s Defensive Player of the year for the third consecutive season on Monday.

But what did raise a few eyebrows was that Bulls guard Keith Bogans received one of the six first-place votes that Howard didn’t capture. Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau, though, said the credit is …

The better team, the Bulls, won Saturday’s opening playoff game in the United Center, 104-99.

“If anything, I’d love a blowout game,” said Derrick Rose, who blew away the Pacers and everyone watching with a spectacular 39-point effort, including scoring or assisting on the last dozen Bulls points as the Bulls overcame a 10-point deficit in the last three and  …

Derrick Rose is scary, scoring 39 points Saturday to rally the Bulls from a 10-point deficit in the last 3:38 for a 104-99 victory in Game 1 of the NBA playoffs.

The Pacers’ Danny Granger crystallized just how frightening.

“With Chicago, no (you never think you have it won),” said Danny Granger, who led the surprising Pacers with 24 points. …

It seems the Pacers’ Danny Granger may have provided more than so-called bulletin board material with his comments about how if you stop Derrick Rose, you stop the Bulls. It looks like Granger may have given away the Pacers’ game plan.

Foul Derrick Rose. Then foul him harder. Then maybe with some vile intent. Dirty? Flagrant?

The Pacers have some …

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.…

I’m not making any comparisons with the championship Bulls of the 90’s or making any predictions for this Bulls team, which Tuesday beat the New York Knicks 103-90 and now at 61-20 is tied with the San Antonio Spurs for the best record in the NBA.

“When guys play like we did in the second half, we are a hard …

Well, the Bulls officially are No. 1 with Friday’s 93-82 snoozer of a victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers to clinch the best record for the 2010-11 NBA season in the Eastern Conference.

Everyone raise your foam fingers!

Go figure. The Bulls zeroed in on the magical 60-win season going to 59-20 with their sixth straight win, 18^th in the …
