This was the marquee game on yesterday's NBA slate and, except for the Bulls losing, it didn't disappoint. more ›

Bulls Center Joakim Noah didn't have the best series against the Heat - few Bulls outside of Derrick Rose did, and even that's open to debate - but we have to give our favorite whirling dervish some propers for finding a way to dis Miami while admitting the Bulls got their collective ass whipped by them. more ›

Last night's collapse was like a swift kick in the nuts. more ›

The Bulls picked a fine time for their first three-game losing streak of the season, and it's put them on the brink of elimination. more ›

Once again, the Heat's defense made the Bulls fight for every shot. more ›

You didn't really think these Eastern Conference finals were going to be a cakewalk for the Bulls did you? After a commanding Bulls victory in the series' opener, the Miami Heat bounced back and played much like Chicago did in game one. While the Bulls hung in there for most of the game, in the end Miami's defense was too much and the Bulls fell to the Heat 85-75 on Wednesday night. more ›

Mare Bear's back and she's not happy with LeBron, D. Wade or anyone else on "Mi-A-mi." Comparing Chris Bosh to an ostrich is a nice touch. In fact she's so angry that we fear she may hit the court tonight. more ›

It did not matter that the Bulls had the NBA's best record or the top seed in the playoffs, most believed that the Miami Heat were the favorites in the Eastern Conference finals. They believed that their two superstars could dominate a game better than a complete team could work together to beat them. Last night the Bulls proved the power of teamwork as they destroyed the Heat 103-82 to take a 1-0 series lead. more ›

As ESPN continues to squeeze in a montage of the Bulls’ season sweep against the Miami Heat every so often, a basketball fan living in Chicago couldn’t be anything but pumped for Sunday’s match-up. However, this basketball fan has to keep in mind some of the simple slip-ups the Bulls have had during the playoffs and their razor-thin margins in the regular season against Miami. more ›

Word on the street however, is that talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has caused the Bulls to postpone Game 2 because of Winfrey's 'Surprise Oprah! A Farewell Spectacular' at the United Center. But au contraire says the NBA. more ›

Benjy will have the recap of tonight's Bulls game for you in the morning. We wanted to let you know that tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat will go on sale 10 a.m. tomorrow at Bulls.com, 1-800-4NBA-TIX and Ticketmaster. more ›

The Bulls didn’t let the last-place Raptors forget where they stand; almost. The Bulls gained a three-game lead in the Eastern Conference playoff standings with a close 113-106 victory over the Raptors Saturday night at the United Center. more ›

We're surprised a "Like a Manny" video didn't surface last fall: more ›

Last time the Miami Heat came to town, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose had a shootout for the ages, but an asterisk was put on the Bulls win by some as LeBron James didn't suit up for the game. King James took the court last night, in a matchup of the two leading candidates for NBA MVP in himself and Rose. The result was the same, as the Bulls held the Heat to 36 second-half points and Luol Deng hit the winning trey for a 93-89 win. more ›

With his low-key, humble persona, Bulls All-Star Derrick Rose will be put to the test and have to jump off his Chicago home-town hero pedestal as he competes with the best of the best in the NBA All-Star game, including fellow Chicagoan Dwyane Wade. more ›

Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat couldn't keep up with Derrick Rose and his Bulls, but at Carlos Boozers expense? The Blackhawks didn't fair so well as they fell to Nashville in a shootout. more ›

If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. The Miami Heat have beaten the Bulls twice in a row, and have taken seven of the last nine meetings. Does this mean the Bulls will be kicked out of their own ‘kitchen’? more ›

The Bulls were on the verge of a four-game losing streak on the road but as always Derrick Rose came to the rescue in a 99-86 win vs. the Pacers in Indiana. more ›

The Drive. The Fumble. The Shot. Game 7 of the 1997 World Series. And now, The Decision. more ›

The rumors from overnight and into the morning do not bode well for Bulls fans hanging on to hopes that LeBron James might join Carlos Boozer in Chicago. In fact, things do not bode well for Cleveland, either, and tonight's hour-long tribute to LeBron's ego (which has taken to Twitter) may also be an opportunity to watch the decimation of the collective psyche of an entire fanbase on national television. Published reports from overnight - the Cleveland Plain Dealer, NY Newsday, and, yes, ESPN - all say it's looking more and more like LeBron will join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami where the Heat will then presumably only be able to pay former members of the Washington Generals to fill out the remaining roster spots. LeBron would also be taking less cash as a deal with the Heat would be in the five-year, $90 million range if the available cap space was split equally amongst the big three but Florida's lack of state income tax would eventually make up the difference. more ›

While details are still being hammered out, it looks like LeBron James will reportedly take to the airwaves on ESPN to announce where he'll sign for the 2010-2011 season (and beyond) in a one-hour special tomorrow night. It seems in line with the kind of sensationalist coverage ESPN is becoming known for. After all, this is a network that's known for televising the press conferences where 17- and 18-year-old kids announce what colleges they'll play football for. Why should the biggest basketball player on the planet be any different? That said, it seems rather egomaniacal to set aside a whole hour on a major network just to announce where you plan to play basketball and isn't exactly worthy of a player who has zero championships. Say what you will about Jordan, his borderline psychotic competitive edge, and his equally intense grudge holding, he needed only a two-word press release to announce the biggest out-of-retirement comeback of all time. And spare us the "Oh, it's for charity" angle. This is ego-driven, pure and simple. more ›

After sweeping the Miami Heat and moving past the first round of the playoffs for the first time since the days of MJ, the Bulls now face off against the Detroit Pistons. The series opens on Saturday in Detroit. The one-seed Pistons also swept their opening-round series, taking down the Orlando Magic. Both teams have had nearly a week to prepare for what we anticipate will be a much tougher series for both teams. Do... more ›

Chicagoist was pretty sure the Bulls could win their opening-round series against the Miami Heat — ESPN "experts" be damned. But even we didn't think the Bulls could actually sweep Miami. more ›

Chicagoist is known to throw things when calls don't go our team's way, too, but it's a little harder to get away with when actually playing in the game. Kirk Hinrich learned that lesson in a course taught by NBA VP of basketball operations, Stu Jackson, who fined the Bulls' guard $25,000 for tossing his mouth guard into the stands during Saturday's playoff game agains the Miami Heat. more ›

One night, one game, but three seeds lost on the final night of the NBA's regular season for the Bulls. Heading into the final game, the Bulls had the upper hand in winning the second seed in the Eastern Conference. All they had to do was win. Or Cleveland had to lose. But neither came to fruition. more ›

Things looked pretty bad when the Bulls' medical staff had to carry Ben Wallace off the court during Saturday night's game against the Miami Heat. At first, a season-ending injury was feared. Initial examinations of his knee, however, seemed positive. Said Bulls trainer Fred Tedeschi: The way we had to carry him off, we thought we were dealing with potentially a season-ending injury. But our initial exam [on Saturday] looked good. The MRI [on Sunday]... more ›

The Bulls tricked the Miami Heat and treated their fans to a 42-point blowout of the defending NBA Champs, on the same night the champs hung their banner and received their rings. Is the 108-66 victory a sign of things to come for the Bulls' 2006-2007 season? Maybe... After two straight playoff appearances, but also two straight first-round eliminations, the Bulls are poised to compete for the Eastern Conference title this season. We're not saying... more ›

Chicagoist believes that the Bulls will hang with the NBA's elite this coming year, with the addition of Ben Wallace. We'll get some sort of answer pretty quickly, we found out today, as the NBA released its 2006-2007 schedule. The Bulls open the season on October 31 on the road against the NBA Champion Miami Heat. The Bulls will be on hand for the Heat raising their banner into the rafters -- a hopeful preview for the ceremony at the United Center in late October 2007! more ›

The Miami Heat, led by the Shaquille O'Neal of old (30 points, 20 rebounds) overwhelmed the Bulls at the UC last night, winning 113-96. We began to appreciate just how well Tyson Chandler played defense against Shaq, before spraining his ankle -- he had another subpar night, playing just 18 minutes as foul trouble again plagued him. Nocioni, Gordon and Hinrich each contributed 20+ points of offense, once again, but it wasn't enough to keep... more ›
