It may not be the most successful season for the Toronto Raptors, but at the very least, they still have a shot at making the playoffs via the play-in tournament despite their uneven start to the 2022-23 regular season campaign. But that may necessitate going up against two former franchise icons in the process, as […]

The Chicago Bulls sit in 10th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 38-42. The Bulls are two games behind the Toronto Raptors for ninth and four in front of the Indiana Pacers for 11th place, so they are locked in when it comes to the No. 10 seed. When the Bulls take […]

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 […]

After easily dispatching the Los Angeles Lakers the night before, DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls just couldn’t keep up with the Clippers on Monday night.

Chicago Bulls guard DeMar DeRozan highlighted the impact of hometown guard Patrick Beverley in a Sunday article from the Athletic Bulls senior writer Darnell Mayberry. “The man does everything,” DeRozan said. “(It’s) electrifying, especially when we’re at home.

DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine stepped up big time for the Chicago Bulls as they edged a feisty Minnesota Timberwolves squad in double overtime on Friday. In fact, the duo even made a history by surpassing a franchise record set by Michael Jordan and Horace Grant. DeRozan and LaVine combined for 88 points to power […]

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. To make matters worse, the Bulls’ future outlook, which didn’t look too promising to begin with, had only gotten bleaker since, […]

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. This is exactly what Toronto Raptors small forward OG Anunoby decided to expose on Tuesday night with a massive facial on DeRozan. […]

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 […]

Chicago Bulls playmaker DeMar DeRozan became the 16th active player in the NBA to reach 4,000 career assists after recording four assists against the Brooklyn Nets in their 131-87 blowout against the dysfunctional franchise.

The Chicago Bulls brought in Patrick Beverley to add some much-needed grit inside the locker room. It seems that the 34-year-old is already delivering as expected following his recent revelation about his blunt message for new teammate Zach LaVine. Apparently, Pat Bev wants LaVine to focus on just one specific thing on offense. According to […]

In spite of all the rumors surrounding the Chicago Bulls during the NBA trade deadline, this team decided to stand pat. They will now head to the second half of the season with pretty much the same group after opting not to make any big moves before the trade deadline expired. For his part, DeMar […]

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. This was far from a straightforward decision for the six-time All-Star, though, with DeRozan supposedly coming close to signing with a different […]

Jalen Brunson got snubbed for a spot on the NBA All-Star Game this season despite his tremendous debut campaign for the New York Knicks.

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.

However, his injury status for Thursday’s tilt against the Brooklyn Nets seems to point […]

Chicago Bulls star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan put together a fairly forgettable performance against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.

DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls did a lot of things wrong in their 108-103 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.

The 2023 NBA trade deadline is just around the corner. That doesn’t leave the Chicago Bulls a lot of time to wait.

Some indications may lead […]

Whether he makes it to the 2023 All-Star NBA Game as a reserve or not, it will not matter as much for Chicago Bulls guard-forward DeMar DeRozan as winning games for his team.
