Michael Reinsdorf Believes Mirotic Would Be Lottery Pick In This Year's Draft
Michael Reinsdorf believes that Nikola Mirotic would be a lottery in this year’s NBA draft.
Mirotic was acquired by the Bulls after he was drafted 23rd overall in 2011.
Reinsdorf is proud of the Bulls’ recent draft record, pointing to the 2011 selection of Jimmy Butler.
“This is a guy who was the 30th pick in the draft that any other team could have had,” Reinsdorf said of...
What will the Chicago Bulls do this offseason?
The Chicago Bulls have clearly become the most respected team in the NBA for their ability to continue fighting and never say die attitude, while being shorthanded. Injuries and illness prevented the Bulls from a better seed and perhaps a deeper run in the postseason. In back to back years the Bulls have seen their season end earlier than anticipated for the same reason.
Due to...
Heat start fast, finish strong to finish off off Chicago
MIAMI (AP) -- A fast start and faster finish were enough to send the Miami Heat back to the Eastern Conference finals.
LeBron James scored 23 points, Dwyane Wade added 18 and the Heat rallied from an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the Chicago Bulls 94-91 on Wednesday night and close out their second-round series in five games.
Chris Bosh scored 12 points and Udonis Haslem...
Injuries make NBA playoffs little more than unsightly
When Nate Robinson and Jimmy Butler are your go-to guys, you probably shouldnt even taste the playoffs. You definitely shouldnt face the Miami Heat in the second round. You certainly cant hope to beat them.
But thats not just a lesson for the Chicago Bulls. Its pretty much the lesson of the entire NBA postseason. And its not a lesson anyone wants to learn. Or watch or read about...
Heat - Bulls Game 3: King Cobra Kills Battered Mongoose
Not All That Fun To Watch
One of my least favorite sports cliches is how such and such teams do not like each other, as if liking each other was some kind of default condition in sports, or the preferred state. At best, it's tired; at worst, it's damn near dead. And yet, well, these teams. There's more than dislike here; there is disdain, contempt, distaste. Miami thinks...
Quick hits from the NBA playoffs: Day 19
Chicago Bulls/Miami Heat: Game 2
- It will be interesting to see if Miami decides to get serious and play a full 48 minutes tonight. For the first five games of the Heat's postseason, they have seemed to go at half speed for the first three quarters and then decided to turn it on down the stretch. That did not work out well in Game One. Let’s see if they jump out early...

LeBron James and Joakim Noah get semi-fight
Things are getting a bit chippy at American Airlines Arena on Wednesday for Game 2 of the Miami Heat- Chicago Bulls game on Wednesday night. After LeBron James was called for an offensive foul after shoving Jimmy Butler, Joakim Noah went to grab the ball form James, and the 2013 NBA MVP took exception. Both Noah and James were given a technical foul for the play.
LeBron James: Don’t be surprised if I guard Nate Robinson
Don’t be surprised if Miami Heat star LeBron James is matched up against Chicago Bulls guard Nate Robinson in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Wednesday in Miami. Robinson scored a game-high 27 points in the Bulls’ Game 1 victory Monday night.
Butler just keeps going and going for Bulls
(Eds: With AP Photos.) By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer Jimmy Butler got into the Chicago starting lineup about six weeks ago, his break coming when a slew of Bulls were dealing with injuries.
He hasn't come off the bench since.
And lately, he hasn't been on the bench at all - literally.
Butler's role right now is to be the Bulls' ironman. NBA regulation games...
Chicago Bulls Stun Miami Heat In Game One, Can They Actually Win The Series?
Follow @D_Schmelzer on Twitter
Game one between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat was in a word, shocking. Miami is the defending NBA champions who have rolled through the regular season and the first round of the playoffs. Chicago has been solid all season without superstar PG Derrick Rose, but they are now missing Luol Deng, who is probably their second best player, and Kirk Hinrich...
Bulls stun Miami and steal game 1
While some people may credit the Chicago Bulls for their stunning game 1 win in Miami, most will say the Heat lost the game due to their week plus layoff.
Now while the Heat did come out ice cold from the floor, their defense still created turnovers that kept them in the game. And despite shooting under 35% in the first half, the Heat were tied at the half. One would think the...
Comments from the Other Side - Miami Heat Game 1 Bonus Edition 5/6
It's always fun to see the Miami bandwagon fans melt down after a loss. It's so funny to see them complain about the officiating when they get the benefit of the calls 99.9% of the time. In a game where the opponent took just 4 free throws more than them, they are certain that the game was fixed. They are used to getting all the calls and when a crew calls is...
Screaming Woman Ruins End Of Great NBA Playoff Double-Header
In case you missed it, Monday night featured the second batch of conference semifinal openers — two games that ranged from very, very good to instant classic (as much as a conference semifinal Game 1 can be considered a classic). First, the Chicago Bulls somehow managed to beat the well-rested Miami Heat in South Beach, 93-86, with what was essentially a six-man lineup that was...
Bulls stun Heat 93-86 in Game 1 of Eastern semis
Only one team has held the Miami Heat below 90 points on their home floor this season. That would be the Chicago Bulls, and for good measure, they've now done it twice.
So by now, it's obvious: If there's a team in the NBA that has Miami's number, it has to be the Bulls.
Nate Robinson scored 27 points and dominated in the final minutes - after needing 10 stitches...
Believe in the Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls surprised everyone but themselves Monday night. They went into Miami, a place where the Heat had only lost four times this season and took a crucial Game 1 in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 93-86 win.
Some will see Monday night’s win as a fluke, but that shouldn’t be the case. The Bulls held the explosive Heat to just 86 points. They did that with...
Oh, You Magnificent Bulls
Tonight's Coach Tibs Simulation
The Miami Heat had home court advantage. A week of rest. A roster filled with healthy players. The back to back MVP, LeBron James, taking his trophy in front of a sold-out crowd.The Bulls had about half of a healthy NBA roster right now. Shooting guard Jimmy Butler never leaves the floor. Joakim Noah has plantar fascitis. Luol Deng has complications...
