ESPN’s Chris Palmer sure thinks so. Kyrie Irving > Derrick Rose. Things done changed. — chris palmer (@ESPNChrisPalmer) February 9, 2013 Really feel like we’ve seen the last days where D-Rose is better than Kyrie. — chris palmer (@ESPNChrisPalmer) February 9, 2013   Not dissing D-Rose. Kyrie is just that good. You ain’t got League Pass? — chris palmer (@ESPNChrisPalmer) February 9, 2013   Those are some pretty bold statements, considering that Irving is only 90 games into his career and we haven’t seen Derrick Rose, the 2011 MVP, since he tore his knee during last season’s playoffs. Let’s take a look at Rose and Irving’s head-to-head matchups and see how they stack up to each other…. Oh, that’s right, Rose and Irving have never faced each other. Last year, Irving sat out the late season games against the Bulls due to tanking an illness and Rose hasn’t played at all this season (making Cleveland’s lopsided losses to the Bulls even more cringe worthy).

Derrick Rose’s Return Could Make Bulls Bigger Threat Than Heat in Eastern Conference

It has been nine months since Derrick Rose went down in the playoffs, along with any hopes the Chicago Bulls had of being crowned champions in 2012.

Bulls looking to deal for offense before the deadline

The Bulls have always been looking for offense.

Jay Williams says Chicago Bulls teammates got high before games

via NY Times:   The New York Times profile of ESPN college basketball analyst Jay Williams is a fascinating read about an athlete reaching the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.

Fashion Glance: worst dressed Chicago Bull; Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer, Rip Hamilton or Joakim Noah

Nate Robinson posed the question on Instagram, “whose the worst dressed Bull.” If we are strictly going off this picture, I say you can take Joakim out of the equation. He doesn’t look bad but he should be practicing the Coco Chanel rule of removing one accessory. In this case, the only accessory. That rosary/ necklace thing is not the move.   Rip looks a little disheveled...

Bulls-Jazz Preview

The Chicago Bulls' six-game road trip hasn't gone as well as they'd hoped, and ending it on a positive note won't come easy against a Utah Jazz team playing extremely well at home.
