Maybe the way Derrick Rose makes those boasts, with his soft, determined style, is why we don’t take him seriously enough. Like when everyone laughed at first before the season at his rare personal swag, as Joakim Noah might term it, that he could be the league MVP. Sure, kid.

I took that, frankly, about as seriously as when late …

It was a playoff type game for the Bulls Friday at the United Center with their 99-96 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Not necessarily because of the physical, defensive struggle, the half dozen technical fouls and the veteran officiating crew led by Joey Crawford. Sure, the Bulls will see all that as they try to move deeper into the playoffs.…

Carlos Boozer will be back in Chicago’s starting lineup after a five game absence due to a left ankle sprain when the Bulls host the Sacramento Kings on Monday at the United Center.

With a victory against Sacramento, Chicago would post its 14th 50-win season in team history and hang on to at least a tie for the Eastern Conference …

So here was a game Thursday the No. 2 seeded Bulls were about to give away to the No. 12 seeded New Jersey. You know those 2-12 matchups can always be…

Oh, right. Not the NCAA tournament. These were players with skill, though not always on this night. 

Though among the most skilled this season, the Bulls had just allowed …

This Bulls season, in some respects, is a referendum or perhaps laboratory experiment on how to construct a team, whether to populate it with superstar talents or whether to combine pieces that mesh even if they don’t sparkle.

And while the final verdict won’t be in for several months, thus far the conventional wisdom that you need more stars is …

Bulls center Joakim Noah will miss Tuesday’s game against the Washington Wizards due to flu-like symptoms. Forward Carlos Boozer will also be sidelined for a third consecutive game with a sprained left ankle suffered during last Wednesday’s win in Charlotte.

Taj Gibson will step in and start for Noah. Kurt Thomas will also start again in Boozer’s absence for the …

All that was missing was the shrug. Sorry, wrong year.

It was the 20th anniversary celebration Saturday in the United Center of the Bulls’ first championship, and 2011 looked a lot like the 1990s with a 68-point first half in which the Bulls led by 30 points and equaled an all-time NBA record with thirteen first half three pointers made …

It was a festive atmosphere in the United Center Saturday with the players from the 1991 championship team in attendance, many escorting their children who heard their daddies tell stories and finally got to a see a little of what it all was about.

But one of the former Bulls, Horace Grant, got a scare just before coming in from …

Saturday the Bulls celebrate the 20th anniversary of their first NBA championship with a reunion ceremony for the players from that team.

On Friday, these 2011 Bulls took a page out of the book of their champion ancestors in a 94-76 rout of the Atlanta Hawks.

“We tried to take their confidence five minutes into the third quarter,” said Derrick …

The Bulls Thursday got good news on Carlos Boozer’s sprained ankle.

General manager Gar Forman said X-rays and an MRI taken Thursday morning on a return to Chicago were negative and the team is listing Boozer day to day.

That means he could play Friday against the Atlanta Hawks, but that seems highly unlikely.

Boozer still had swelling in the …
