Chicago Bulls fans are serious about bringing LeBron James to Chicago. Serious enough to put up a billboard in downtown…

Let’s face it. Now that the season is over, we Bulls’ fans are overly eager to stare into the abyss that waits ahead of us. It is destined to be weeks of chaos, as the NBA gives itself a make-over this summer. This is definitely an exciting time in Chicago Bulls’ history, and there is a lot of optimism and confidence around the city. Starting with the 7-game war […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a big gamble by firing Mike Brown on Monday. Brown had served as head coach for the Cavaliers for 5 seasons with no NBA championships and 1 Finals appearance to show for it. This might be foreshadowing of other […]
Since the year 1991, the Chicago Bulls have won more championships than any other franchise in the NBA – winning a total of six (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, and 1998). The next closest teams are the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs, at 4 apiece. The Bulls won these titles in dominant fashion. The NBA never saw such dominance since the 1960’s Boston Celtics, of Cousy and Russell, who won 10 of 11 during a stretch of time. But regardless, the 90’s Bulls undoubtedly featured the most dominant team in the history of the NBA. Bill Russell’s Celtics dominated in an era of fewer teams, prior to the ABA-NBA convergence, and before salary cap restrictions were placed on team owners. The Chicago Bulls run of 6 championships in 8 seasons separates them their stiff competition in the 1990’s. It separates them from the modern era teams, and the teams of the pre-shot-clock era. The Chicago Bulls’ dominance separates them, in a timeless fashion, from the rest of the NBA pack – as well as other professional sports franchises of any league (MLB, NFL, or NBA) of any single generation in American sports history.
There is obviously a key factor, or two, when detailing how the Bulls of 1991-98 were so successful. Chicago basketball featured two athletic horses, so to speak, in the form of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. The 6’7” Small-Forward, drafted from Central Arkansas in 1987, evolved into the game’s most versatile weapon, as well as its most selfless […]
Will Washington draft John Wall or Evan Turner?
Here is the complete order of the First Round, after the Tuesday night 2010 NBA Draft Lottery: 1. Washington Wizards 2. […]
Regardless about anything the media speculates over, there are many things hard to deny. Mike Brown has not been satisfactory in terms of running a fine-tuned offense. LeBron James does not get the ball in his hands enough when teams go up on Cleveland; instead Brown seems hell-bent on sticking with his regulation rotation of players… going 10-12 deep into his bench, despite when nearly all other post-season coaches have cut their rosters down to 8-10. The […]
Following the announcement that Vinny Del Negro would be relieved of his head coaching duties with the Chicago Bulls, the team’s President-of-Basketball Operations took the podium and apologized for his role […]
With coaches available such as Byron Scott, Avery Johnson, Lawrence Frank, and Jeff Van Gundy, it definitely looks bleak that Vinny Del Negro will be back as the head coach of the Chicago Bulls next season- especially after every said and done by the media and the Bulls organization itself. Tensions are pretty high and it’s obvious […]
The Bulls played a hard-fought game. It became clear from the beginning that the Bulls were not just going to lay down and accept defeat, despite being down 1-3. The Bulls matched up fairly well with the Cavs. Most people originally suspected that Chicago would not be able to compete with the […]
The key for the Bulls is to be aggressive. They need to assert an up-tempo game by pushing the ball in transition. They have to make outlet passes – even on made Cleveland field goals. Derrick Rose is a constant for the Bulls on offense, but on defense he and Hinrich must watch Cleveland shooters […]
