* After watching the Bulls break 100, I was a bit concerned I'd wake up this morning and the sun would be rising in the west, the sky would be black as night, and the U.S. Senate would be a functional institution. But no, everything still seems normal. Maybe the Bulls can keep...

To piggyback on my last post: Writing about the firing of Byron Scott, Matt Yglesias notes:Paul, Okafor, and a bunch of average guys could make the playoffs. But these are not average guys. Morris Peterson is shooting .341 from the field and .269 from three point land. For comparison...

Only caught the fourth quarter, so it's kinda funny in retrospect that throughout it, I was so disgusted by Kirk's play that I was screaming at the TV, "Where the hell is Salmons?! Put in Salmons!!," blissfully unaware that the subject of my desire was himself mired...

In light of this, let us never, ever forget: Rick Morrissey is a douchenozzle.Ten months ago, this guy wanted to cut Joakim Noah while admiring Larry Hughes' game, and he now thinks that eating a newspaper in public will somehow atone for his stupidity. Of course, when you churn...

He's been getting props all over the place, but take a look at Hollinger's PER leaders among centers. He's third, behind only Howard and Duncan. And looking at the rest of the list, I'm not sure if there's another center on it who I would prefer over him. Maybe...

Keeping in mind the GIGANTIC caveats that a) it's a totally worthless three-game sample size and b) the Bulls' three opponents thus far are among the league leaders in defensive efficiency (and will likely remain among them even when they're not playing the Bulls), is...

Game One: The X-Man Cometh

During the first, second, and fourth quarters last night, the Bulls scrapped their way to a standstill against a talented (but tired-looking) Spurs team. The difference in the game was the third quarter, which is why, with apologies to Xavier McDaniel, I’ve got a new nickname for...

1. Since it's on True Hoop, everyone's going to see it and talk about it, but it's worth quoting anyway:My prediction is that the Bulls are going to stink this year. Ben Gordon and Brad Miller were there best players. They let Ben Gordon go to the team they need to beat...

Reinsdorf Owns Bulls, Lots of Money, No Responsibility for Anything

There's much to yell and scream about when it comes to this interview with Reinsdorf (it really has to be read to be believed), but I just want to focus on one aspect of Jerry's astonishing self-regard. W/r/t the Ben Wallace signing, Jerry sez:Was Ben Wallace a mistake? Probably...

What Matt said.I don't have much else to add, particularly about a team that could have re-signed a 20 ppg player for almost $1.5 mil. per year less than his market value (indeed, would've basically gotten a free year out of him) last summer, except that doing so would'...

Who Should the Bulls Draft?
June 22, 2009 by
Thank You Isiah

Honestly, I have no frickin’ idea. It’s not that there aren’t players I like or identifiable needs for this current Bulls team. But, at the same time, possible trades/Gordon’s free agency has left this Bulls team in such potential flux that those needs could change in an instant...
