A few NBA teams are hoping to lose in order to win, and for these “chosen” few, the prize at the end of the rainbow could net them college basketball’s most captivating player, Zion Williamson. Regardless of Williamson’s recent injury, which has been reported as a right knee sprain, teams are praying to get a […]

It’s looking like Robin Lopez will end up finishing the 2018-19 campaign with the Chicago Bulls after all. In spite of rampant speculation that the Bulls and Lopez would both seek a buyout in order to move in different directions (with the Golden State Warriors a potential Lopez destination), it doesn’t seem all that likely, […]

Over his last six games, Chicago Bulls center Robin Lopez is averaging 20.2 points while shooting 65.3 percent from the field.

Chicago Bulls head coach Jim Boylen had another of his signature quick timeouts in a 117-106 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks during a blown play-call, and then another, and then one more for good measure. Totaling three botched plays, including one out of a timeout, called for lack of proper execution. These college-type interruptions have […]

Zach LaVine had himself an interesting night during a 117-106 Chicago Bulls loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, as he only mustered one point on six shot attempts after pouring in 10 first-quarter points.

There is no question that Chicago Bulls big man Robin Lopez is one funny dude. He proved his awesome sense of humor yet again earlier this season, as the 7-foot center starred in another side-splitting parody. The Bulls’ official Twitter page shared a rather lengthy video starring Lopez as the Mad Hatter of “Alice in […]

The Chicago Bulls entered Saturday’s action with the league’s last-ranked offense.

The Chicago Bulls are fully embracing a youth movement.

This trade was a bit of a surprise. The Washington Wizards had announced in mid-November that their entire squad was up for trade. They were very interested in trading […]

Zach LaVine never lacks confidence. The Chicago Bulls guard has emerged as one of basketball’s most polarizing players over the years, equally capable of keeping his team in the game with an array of highlight-reel dunks, 3-pointers and crossovers as he is to shoot them out of it by deviating from the offensive system and […]

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine won’t be in this year’s dunk contest.

I’ve still got some tricks in my bag, […]
