The Lakers (27-17) look to build off their recent victory in Dallas where they will take on the Bulls (23-22), who are also coming off an impressive win. This is the first meeting between the two teams this season. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Chicago Bulls When: 5 p.m. PT, Jan. 26 Where: […]
UPDATE: The Lakers did, in fact, make it out of Dallas, getting through half the battle, at least. The team took off from Dallas-Fort Worth instead of Love Field, allowing them to get out of Dallas when the Mavericks could not. This doesn’t mean the Lakers-Bulls go is definitely on for Monday, but it does […]
Head down to the comments to talk about Sunnday’s game against the Panthers! Game Preview

In case you missed it, the Green Bay Packers hired a new defensive coordinator . And while the good news (for the time being) is that it was *NOT* Al Harris, it turns out that the Chicago Bears defensive backs coach could be on the radar of a former Packers head coach. Mark Kaboly, who used to cover the Pittsburgh Steelers for The Athletic, shared this tweet that piqued my interest: I'd keep a keen eye on Al Harris coming in as the Steelers defensive coordinator. Harris is currently ...
Not gonna lie, it still stings a bit that the Chicago Bears lost that game to the Los Angeles Rams. But I guess if the Bears were gonna go out, better it be in such a remarkable game against a perennial playoff contender and MVP candidate, than against the Packers. Plus, Caleb Williams gave us […]
Day 7 of the Chicago Bears offseason. I’d rather be preparing for a NFC Championship Game battle against the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, I’ll spend a chunk of my day staring out the window thinking about what could have been. Sigh . The Green Bay Packers hired a new defensive coordinator. And while we’ll probably take a deeper dive into this hire later this week, I wanted to get some initial thoughts regarding Jonathan Gannon’s hire on the board right now while I had a moment: A b...
The Chicago Blackhawks host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Sunday night at the United Center. The Panthers season has been a bit of a roller coaster: a sluggish start out of the gate put them behind the curve early, they stabilized into something resembling a competent team for a stretch, then dipped again into inconsistency before finally showing some signs of life recently. After going 6-4-0 in their last 10 games and riding a modest two-game win streak — includi...
The Blackhawks played a back-to-back in Carolina and at home against Tampa on Thursday-Friday nights and came away with three of four possible points. They got great goaltending in both games, and the defense held up against the two top teams in the Eastern Conference. So, after one day off, the Blackhawks host the two-time defending champion Florida Panthers today. Well… what’s left of them. And they’ll be playing the second half of their own back-to-back; the Panthers needed overtime to...
This is a really good view of a bygone era at Wrigley Field, also sent to me by BCB reader Joe Coney. I had to enhance the colors a bit; the original photo as sent to me was a bit washed out. This also made it easier to read the matchups on the scoreboard, and […]
Happy Sunday, Bulls fans! And for the first time in a while, I genuinely mean happy. The euphoria of the win. The elation of Derrick Rose’s speech. The contentment of his jersey retirement. And the pure glee of sitting down to write this article. Did I miss any synonyms? Let’s talk Bulls basketball. © Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Last night, the ninth-seeded underdog Chicago Bulls beat the second-seeded Boston Celtics, 114–111. With the win, the Bulls are now ridin...
On June 7, 2019, Craig Kimbrel signed a three-year, $43 million deal with the Cubs. And his first (half) season in Chicago was a disaster: 6.53 ERA, 8.00 FIP. And his second year (the COVID-shortened 2020 season) got off to an equally brutal start: 7 ER through his first 2.2 IP. But after that, he was a changed man. Kimbrel finished the 2020 season with a 1.42 ERA and 26 strikeouts in 12.2 IP — yeah, that’s a 53.1 K%. And he began 2021 on an equally impressive hot streak: 0.51 ERA, 4...
1. Gamed by Kevin Huerter In Game 3 of the 2015 Eastern Conference Finals, Derrick Rose hit a game-winning three at the buzzer to give the Bulls the win and a 2-1 lead in the series. Almost 11 years later, on the day that Rose is getting his #1 jersey retired by the Bulls organization, […]
Before being welcomed by Chicago’s freezing nine-degree temperatures on Saturday, the Celtics had their work cut out for them. There wasn’t much room for rest after Friday’s trip to the city that never sleeps. It took two overtime periods to overcome the Nets, leaving less than 24 hours to prepare to do it all over […]
Note: Apologies for this both being late and shorter than usual. I had a pretty bad cold to start the week, and the Texas power grid has been on and off the last 48 hours due to weather. So I couldn’t put in play reviews like normal. The full season review will be a robust […]
“We’ve got some financial flexibility now to continue to bring in talent.” Talk about a real knee-slapper. The White Sox GM sure knows how to tell ’em. Chris Getz made that remark after the trade of Luis Robert, Jr. to the Mets, a move that not only forced everybody covering the team to figure out […]

It’s been a pretty incredible week at the United Center. It started on Monday night with Jonathan Toews ‘ return and the incredible reception from Blackhawks fans. Last night, the Bulls beat the Celtics on a jumper with 0.2 seconds left and then put Derrick Rose’s number in the rafters . At some point later this season, the Blackhawks will host a ceremony to formally induct Duncan Keith and Steve Larmer into the team’s Hall of Fame. Who knows… maybe someday they’ll put 28 where it belongs in t...
1985 The first Australian ever to play for the White Sox, Shane Lindsay, was born in Melbourne. Lindsay only had a four-game, 10-day major league career. He was called up as the season spiraled down the drain in 2011, with a solid debut in Detroit on September 4 (one scoreless inning, with a walk and […]

The gloves are still on. But the Cubs are ‘going for it’, and there aren’t so many kids playing. Maybe Kevin Alcantara breaks camp with the big kids. Otherwise, it’s pretty much a veteran squad. Jaxon Wiggins might change that some, but he isn’t expected any time soon. He’ll be handled with the proverbial sartorial […]
On a night when the Bulls franchise honored Derrick Rose and raised his #1 to the United Center rafters, the home team beat Boston 114-111 with a last second triple from Kevin Huerter. For the Celtics, they split the back-to-back nailbiters after winning in double OT last night in Brooklyn, but fall to 10-14 in […]
The Celtics roll into Chicago looking to extend a winning rhythm, but the Bulls are in a groove as well. Boston had to dig deep last night, and they’ll have to again on the second half of a back-to-back. Fatigue may be a factor, but the Celtics have a key contributor returning. Here are three […]
https://twitter.com/chicagobulls/status/2015145075513163968 Former three-time All-Star Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose , whose MVP prime was cruelly cut down by a series of knee injuries, will get his annual United Center tribute on Saturday night, after a Bulls home clash against the Boston Celtics. This time, his No. 1 jersey is being hung in the rafters, alongside Michael Jordan ‘s No. 33, Scottie Pippen ‘s No. 23, Bob Love’s No. 10, and Jerry Sloan’s No. 4. It’s set to be...
