From rousing to routed

It would have been unrealistic to expect Friday night's matchup between the Bulls and Boston Celtics to duplicate the excitement of last season's epic first-round playoff series. But no one -- especially the Bulls coming off a rousing win the previous night -- expected an epic...

Bulls notes

Picimg_celticsbulls_0bf0
Derrick Rose started in Thursday night's opener against the San Antonio Spurs and had no limitations from a medical standpoint. Coach Vinny Del Negro was intent on closely monitoring Rose's minutes but ended up playing the point guard 33 minutes as he works his way back from...

Bye, Byars: Team can't afford luxury

So much for Derrick Byars making the Bulls' opening-night roster. Byars, a first-year guard from Vanderbilt, was waived on Wednesday, a little more than 24 hours before tonight's game against the Spurs at the United Center.

Here's a starting 5 for Bulls

Usually there's somewhat of a consensus among the newspapers, magazines and Web sites that produce NBA previews. The projected conference standings are remarkably similar, and a team's ranking generally doesn't vary more than two or three spots. That's not the case...

Why the Bulls will not make the NBA playoffs

Picimg_celticsbulls_0bf0
We like the addition of rookies Taj Gibson and James Johnson and that Derrick Rose will be a year wiser, but other teams in the Eastern Conference have improved more significantly, which should leave the Bulls on the sidelines come playoff time.

Picimg_celticsbulls_0bf0
John Jackson: If not for the ankle injury that hampered Derrick Rose for much of the preseason, the main topic surrounding the Bulls as they approach the season opener Thursday against the San Antonio Spurs would be how much better the second-year point guard will be this season.

Rose practices, expects to play in opener

Deng ready for next step

Barneswall_main
The primary goal for Luol Deng in the preseason was proving he was healthy after missing essentially six months with a stress fracture of the lower right leg. Mission accomplished on that front. The 6-9 forward played in all eight preseason games and participated in every practice...
