The Bulls have been able to put that behind-the-scenes nastiness behind them and now have the inside track to be the first round victims of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers after they edged the Celtics 101-93. Down by eight early in the second quarter, a big 18-2 run flipped the scoreboard and put the Bulls ahead. Of courser, the Celtics wouldn't go easily and fought back in the second half. But the Bulls held off the run, led by Derrick Rose who dropped 39 points on Boston and Kirk Hinrich who had 30. The highlight of the game, though? Rasheed Wallace, scoring on his own basket. more ›

A night after finally pulling themselves out of their losing nosedive, the Bulls are right back at it as they were routed by the Celtics 106-80.

Derrick Rose scored 19 and Luol Deng scored 17 to lead the Bulls. Things won't get easier as the Lakers come to town on Tuesday night (7 p.m., WGN). more ›

Londonist are starting to think their city is getting just a little bit too expensive, when even Christian Slater can't afford to go out there. And there's no escaping, as local singer Lily Allen discovered when she was barred entry to the US. The British mapping agency caused further bad karma, by blocking a 3-D representation of London in Google Earth.

We'd like to start this week's run-down by wishing a very happy birthday to parent blog Gothamist, which turned four on Friday. If it wasn't for them, the rest of us wouldn't be here.

They also reported on NYU students protesting a band whose name is also known as a slur,... more ›

The Bulls embark on the second half of their season tonight -- well, kind of. It's their first game following the All Star Break, but only 30 games remain in the regular season. With a 23-29 record at the break, the Bulls are currently out of the playoffs picture. However, they're only 2 games behind the 76ers for the 8th seed so a playoff berth isn't impossible. But can their current roster play better over... more ›

The Bulls tip off against the New Jersey Nets tonight at the United Center. Starting the opener will be: Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich at guards, Andres Nocioni and Othella Harrington at forward and Tyson Chandler in the middle. Eddie Curry won't be in the lineup because he'll be serving the first of his two game suspension for his part in a fight against Washington during the pre-season. This lineup is likely to be fluid, however. Curry will displace Harrington once his suspension is up, shifting Chandler to forward. And if Gordon's poor pre-season play continues, look for Luol Deng to move into the starting lineup. So any way you look at it, expect two rookies in the starting lineup. more ›

The Bulls unveil their 2004-2005 lineup tonight when they take on the Boston Celtics in Manchester, N.H. in their first pre-season game.
