The Bulls stole one Wednesday against the Utah Jazz–literally, figuratively and not so convincingly–in a 91-86 victory.

Still, it was enough to break a two game losing streak and some bitter hearts in Utah, leaving the Bulls as they head to New Orleans Saturday 2-2 on this road trip, 35-16 overall and one of four teams in the NBA without …

The I-was-snubbed-and-I’ll-show-you tour continued Monday in Portland, and once again the Bulls were victims of the injustice as well.

After being lit up by Monta Ellis’ 33 points Saturday in a 101-90 loss, Portland’s LaMarcus Aldridge scored a career high 42 points, including 13 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Trail Blazers to a 109-103 victory. Portland scored a …

Last season, among the big games the Bulls played were the so-called audition/examination games, when Chicago faced potential future Bulls like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Joe Johnson, David Lee and Carlos Boozer.

As an aside, by the way, I had a long conversation with a veteran Warriors executive before Saturday’s Bulls loss in Oakland, and he wanted to …

Time to panic?

Certainly not just because the Bulls Saturday lost 101-90 to the Golden State Warriors in the Oakland House of Horrors for the Bulls franchise.

That’s right. It was here in 1985 when Michael Jordan suffered the only serious injury of his Bulls career, a broken foot, and where Jordan compiled his lowest scoring average. So the Bulls …

That was like Michael Jordan for Derrick Rose Wednesday in the Bulls 106-88 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

I know, I know. No one is supposed to do that. No comparisons to Jordan. Not fair. And, anyway, Jordan never missed a shot in his career and showed every fan to their seat and popped the corn before every game …

You don’t usually have long conversations with Derrick Rose. So Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau wasn’t expecting much when he cornered Rose before Saturday’s 110-89 victory over the Indiana Pacers.

Rose had been diagnosed earlier this week with ulcers, and the pain hadn’t quite subsided. So Thibodeau just wanted to make sure. Yes, Thibodeau does live life one game at a …

The big thing for the Bulls Friday was defeating and outworking the Orlando Magic in a convincing 99-90 victory.

“It was big,” agreed Luol Deng, who led the Bulls with 26 points, 24 in the second half. “This is one of the teams everyone in the NBA has as a contender. We want to beat those teams. We want to …

Just two days after spending several hours at the hospital with a pair of stomach ulcers, Derrick Rose was back in action as the Bulls scored an impressive 99-90 victory over Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic on Friday.

“I’m glad we came out and played hard,” said Rose, who managed 22 points, 12 assists and six rebounds. “There were …

This is sort of the way it sounded to me late Monday night long after just about everyone had cleared from the Bulls locker room. Luol Deng, with typically deliberate dresser Joakim Noah out, is usually last to leave after a long soak, soak of the year, as it were, of his feet, the ones averaging the fourth most minutes …

This kind of season for the Bulls, somewhat unexpected at 31-14 given the serious injuries to Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah, makes basketball fun. And the Bulls were enjoying themselves after Monday’s 92-83 United Center win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

Derrick Rose, who had 21 points and 10 assists, was laughing that he knew people older than teammate Kurt Thomas, …
