The best part about the Chicago Bulls-Miami Heat game Thursday night (Feb. 21) at the United Center? Well, for your humble correspondent, it was being able to make it home before the snow hit the Chicago area. For the Bulls, it likely was being able to dress quickly after their 86-67 loss, go to the […]
Derrick Rose rehabs. And talks. Chicago Bulls fans wait. And listen. Michael Jordan sells. And so it is that we enter the NBA all-star break that culminates with the annual exhibition game that occasionally resembles a basketball contest. Also of note is MJ’s 50th birthday that coincides with Sunday’s game. To mark the milestone, Sports […]
As the Chicago Bulls prepared to make way for the ice show that is set to come to the United Center, they put the visiting Charlotte Bobcats on ice Monday (Jan. 28). Jimmy Butler had a career-high 19 points in the 93-85 victory that extended the Bulls home winning streak to a season-high four games. […]
It was a day of historic significance and for cementing a legacy. It was the day of the second inauguration of Barack Obama as president of the United States.

The victory left the […]
You could sense the Chicago Bulls were in trouble when team chairman Jerry Reinsdorf — grim-faced, head down and avoiding eye contact — whisked down the corridor of the bowels of the United Center and entered the Bulls’ locker room on Saturday (April 28). Minutes earlier, the Bulls had defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 103-91 in […]
As promised, here is an afternoon edition. Sorry, no additional Chicago Luvabulls video from Thursday night’s game. Check out previous posts on this site. Also no Matadors videos here. Still trying to figure out whether to be sorry about that or not (just kidding, big guys). Let the record show the Bulls, who open the […]
Derrick Rose is No. 1. Of course, he is. Any fan of the Chicago Bulls guard and reigning NBA Most Valuable Player knows that. As far as his jersey number is concerned. Actually, Rose’s No. 1 is No. 1 in terms of sales. And the Bulls are No. 1 in merchandise sales. All this is […]
Here is what can happen Thursday (April 19) that affects the NBA playoffs — not that Chicago Bulls fans necessarily need be concerned with whether their heroes prevail in Miami against the Heat (after all, the Bulls had homecourt throughtout the postseason last year and it didn’t seem to halt the Heat from reaching the […]
