Derrick Rose shined under the bright lights of Madison Square Garden. The Blackhawks actually made a game of their return to Edmonton before the wheels fell off again. more ›

After being an assistant coach for 20 years and leading the Bulls to a league-best 62-20 record, coach Tom Thibodeau will be named NBA's Coach of the year Sunday according to multiple reports. The announcement is expected to be made at 3:30 p.m. at the Berto Center. more ›

Derrick rose electrified the Madison Square Garden crowd last night with an array of dunks and a game-high 26 points as the Bulls won their eighth straight game, 103-90 over the New York Knicks, whose own seven-game win streak was snapped. Coupled with the Lakers win over San Antonio last night, the Bulls have a chance to claim the top seed throughout the NBA Playoffs tonight with a win over the New Jersey Nets. more ›

Yesterday was the third time the Chicago Bulls and New York Knicks faced off in the Holiday Showcase Game at Madison Square Garden, and for the Bulls, this Christmas showdown wasn't so merry. Sporting their Christmas uniforms, the Knicks beat the Bulls for the second time this season, winning the series for the first time since 2000-01. more ›

Knicks 120, Bulls 112: The Knicks rarely missed from three-point range last night, shooting 16 of 24 from the arc as they built a 21-point lead at the half. Danilo Gallinari hit all four of his treys and finished with 24 points for the Knicks. Raymond Felton added 20 points and 10 assists. more ›

No sooner did the Cleveland Cavaliers meet their untimely end in the NBA playoffs then speculation began in earnest about where LeBron James will play next year. While many had expected the Akron native to stay close to home in the end, Cleveland's inability to surround King James with the pieces to win a title might compel him to bolt in free agency this summer. And while many had long assumed that New York would be the most likely location for the two-time MVP to land, a new destination has gained steam in recent days: Chicago. more ›

Remember Eddy Curry? Sure, you do... he's the big, soft center that Jerry Krause paired with the tall, lanky Tyson Chandler to bring the Bulls back to glory. Only his heart gave out figuratively and literally, and the Bulls traded him to the New York Knicks. Since heading to New York, Curry's had his share of off-the-court headlines. First there was the summer 2007 home invasion. And now Curry's being sued for sexual harrassment by Dave Kuchinsky, a former employee. more ›

Maybe we got a bit ahead of ourselves when we dreamed of Greg Oden trading in the red jersey of Ohio St. for a red Bulls uni, on account of the Bulls holding the right to swap picks with the New York Knicks in this year's draft as part of the Eddy Curry trade. But you saw how bad the Knicks were in '06, right? And then they added Isiah Thomas to their bench as... more ›

Well, the Bulls certainly didn't go down without a fight — not even after falling into a 3-0 series hole. But down they ultimately did go, losing to the Detroit Pistons 95-85 in Game 6 on Thursday night at the United Center. For a half, actually forcing Game 7 seemed like a realistic possibility as the Bulls took a 48-43 lead into the locker room. P.J. Brown had the playoff game of his long career,... more ›

Chicagoist remembers when the highlight of the long, playoff-less off-season for the Bulls was the NBA Draft lottery. We saw the Bulls participate 6 years in a row, grabing the top overall pick in 1999. After a one year haitus, the Bulls again participated in the lottery event, held in the NBA's New Jersey studios. Of course, this time they participated on behalf of the New York Knicks' draft pick, traded to the Bulls as... 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 ›

The Bulls played a matinee today in celebration of the Martin Luther King holiday. Facing off against the New York Knicks for the second time in three days, the Bulls knocked off the Knicks 88-86 at Madison Square Garden. While a tight game throughout, the Bulls were playing from behond for most of the game. Having taken the lead late in the third quarter, the Knicks reclaimed the lead. But a key 3-pointer by Andres Nocioni tied the game with less than a minute to play. After 40 scoreless seconds, the Bulls inbounded the ball following a foul with 16 seconds left. Running down the clock, rookie Ben Gordan -- playing his first pro game in his home town -- hit a floater with 0.01 seconds left giving the Bulls the two-point win. more ›

Chicagoist thought that the Jalen Rose trade talks last season took forever before the deal was consummated, but the trade talks involving Jamal Crawford are setting a whole new standard! After weeks of negotiations, the Bulls and New York Knicks seem to finally have hammered out all the players who will be included in the deal. Last week, Bulls GM and former on-court adversary Knicks President Isiah Thomas even met face to face to push trade talks forward. The agreement in place sends Jamal Crawford and Jerome Williams to the Knicks for Dikembe Mutombo, Othella Harrington, Frank Williams and Cezary Trybanski. more ›
