It matters in that it follows that this Bulls team is not likely to perform up to a .500 record the rest of the way at this current level. But even with Thomas and Hinrich's absence bringing this team's performance down to far below average, their record is still 6-8, and the games they've lost so far on the trip were games they wouldn&#3...

Banks The 1990s were a refreshing change for Chicago sports fans. For the better part of the decade, the city abandoned it’s dysfunctional obsession with its two lovable losers (Bears and Cubs) in order to fully embrace the only true consistent winner that the second city has ever known: Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty. As great as the 90s were, the 2000s were kind of lean. Especially in the beginning when they ended the ’99-’00 with 65 losses, followed that up with 6...

Another, more pessimistic update on Hinrich from KC Johnson. We've seen the Bulls bungle a diagnosis just last season with Deng, so tough to speculate anything accurately until we actually see Hinrich practicing and playing again. They have to seriously consider signing any guard, though that'd imply they were ever serious about this season (they weren't). -ed.] Not good news with Pargo nursing a sore should...

It’s never fun to watch your team lose 4 straight. The problem is that some combination of raised expectations, a lack of understanding about the Bulls schedule, poor shooting, and of course Rose’s bum ankle (or confidence, but [...] Fri, 27 Nov 2009 12:58:14 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Everyone_Calm_Down_The_Bulls_Dont_Suck_They_Just_Arent_Very_Good/1639959 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Everyone_Calm_Down_The_Bulls_Dont_Suck_They_Just_Arent_Very_Good/1639959 http://www.yardbarker.com/nba/article_external/Everyone_Calm_Down_The_Bulls_Dont_Suck_They_Just_Arent_Very_Good/1639959 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/8/4/84099141e94fd78989c186394b9e82781cf5435f/small/93344424.jpg Yes, the scoreboard showed that the Blazers faced the Bulls.
