Coming into Wednesday’s play-in game against the Chicago Bulls, the Toronto Raptors probably didn’t bother to include a nine-year old girl on their scouting report. Perhaps they should have.

That happened on 36 occasions. On 18 of those occasions, […]

The Bulls lost to the Bucks 102-95, with DeRozan failing to make an impact for the Windy City franchise with just eight points on […]

The Charlotte Hornets could use a rebranding and that’s not just in terms of their ownership. A promising core of LaMelo Ball, Miles Bridges, Kelly Oubre Jr., P.J. Washington, and Terry Rozier has been undermined by underperformance on the court and distractions off of it. It’s been unfortunate, and not just because a team owned […]

The Chicago Bulls, by all accounts, have had an uninspiring 2022-23 campaign. They have weathered plenty of rumored in-fighting and trade rumors on their way to a 31-37 record at the time of writing.

DeMar DeRozan is without a doubt one of the most gifted scorers in the NBA today. However, the Chicago Bulls star isn’t exactly a candidate for the Defensive Player of the Year title.

The Chicago Bulls saw the Patrick Beverley effect on Saturday after the veteran guard made his debut with the team against the Brooklyn Nets. Sure enough, even DeMar DeRozan couldn’t help but be happy that they got him. DeRozan was full of compliments for Beverley following their 131-87 demolition of the Nets. While the defensive […]

The Chicago Bulls brought in Patrick Beverley to add some much-needed grit inside the locker room.

What does it take to become the Most Valuable Player in the NBA? The criteria behind the NBA’s MVP award are highly subjective with multiple factors coming into play. One that’s been talked about a lot amidst the load management era is how heavily a player’s overall games played total weighs into all this. Back-to-back […]

Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan is one of the best mid-range players in the NBA today, but don’t call him a master on it. Fans learned that in a hilarious way after DeRozan was introduced as the “undisputed master of mid-range” during the NBA All-Star Game introductions on Sunday night. The Bulls star was shocked […]

DeMar DeRozan was without a doubt one of the biggest names in free agency in the summer of 2021. He eventually ended up signing with the Chicago Bulls on a three-year, $82 million deal.

Following an impressive 46-win 2021-22 campaign, the Chicago Bulls have suffered through an uneven 2022-23 campaign.

In addition, reports of rumored “discord” […]

After winning three games in a row, the Chicago Bulls are back to their losing ways. They are now 0-2 in their current three-game road trip, having suffered defeats at the hands of the Memphis Grizzlies (104-89) last Tuesday and the Brooklyn Nets (116-105) Thursday night. Zach LaVine led the Bulls with a big scoring […]

Chicago Bulls star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan missed Tuesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to a hip injury. Sans arguably their best player, the Bulls lost to the Grizzlies by a final score of 104-89, thanks largely to a 34-point, seven-assist performance from Ja Morant. So when the Bulls visit the Barclays Center to […]

DeMar DeRozan sat out the Chicago Bulls‘ 15-point loss against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
