This is my favorite article to write every week , mostly because it’s how I cope with Chicago’s mediocrity. Last night, the Bulls beat the Utah Jazz in the clutch. It was a great game, but watching Utah’s young core outplay what the Bulls put on the floor left me jealous. I want my team to have something that feels like a real future, too.
With the NBA trade deadline approaching fast, the Bulls have a chance to trade for that kind of young core. Personally, though, I’d rather they get it ...
It’s officially January 15th, the day the worst-kept secret finally got out. Jonathan Kuminga is getting traded. His relationship with the team that drafted him has been severely strained for a long time, and he officially requested a trade today, even though it feels like the Warriors have been shopping him for more than a year already.
Golden State's Jonathan Kuminga has demanded a trade away from the Warriors as he becomes eligible to be moved Thursday, sources tell ESPN. Full story ...
On Wednesday night, the Chicago Bulls survived a fourth-quarter collapse to stave off an embarrassing loss (and a career night from Brice Sensabaugh) to a blatantly tanking Utah Jazz, riding Nikola Vucevic ‘s season-high 35-point night to a 128-126 win. Coby White , back on the roster and in the starting five, had yet another shaky night as he tries to find his rhythm after a calf injury.
Although White and fellow (fill-in) starting guard Tre Jones failed to score in double figures, a who...
Alex Bregman was signed to a five-year, $175 million deal (with $70 million of that money deferred) by the Cubs this week, officially announced by the team on Wednesday. He made some appearances in town on arriving, attending Blackhawks and Bulls games, and the team introduced him at a press conference at Wrigley Field Thursday […]
The Utah Jazz couldn’t get it done against the Bulls in Chicago. And to make matters worse, I’m here to announce that school is back in session. On Brice Sensabaugh’s career night, Utah wasn’t able to finish the job and steal what would have been their second-straight W. Instead, they suffered the sting of defeat, […]
Fresh off a deceptively close road loss to a Houston Rockets team that felt like it was scrimmaging, the undermanned 18-21 Chicago Bulls are slated to play their second game in a back-to-back set. This time, they’ll face the 14-25 Utah Jazz, a decidedly inferior opponent.
At least, the Jazz are inferior to Houston. It would behoove a Chicago squad missing its best player in point guard Josh Giddey , its best rim protector in center Zach Collins , and (probably) its second-best player in s...
How many times are we going to have to sit through a Patrick Williams disasterclass?
The Chicago Bulls just dropped a brutal one to the Houston Rockets last night — a game that was contested right down to the wire. Now they’re hopping on a plane back to Chicago to get ready for another matchup, this time against the Utah Jazz. I have absolutely no confidence in this being a “gimme,” but I do know one thing: it should be entertaining.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
A tough night ...
a couple of role players, not typically mentioned in trade rumors, may actually get the Bulls a trade return
The Jazz miraculously put an end to their ridicule of a 55-point loss by squashing Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road. Now they’re headed to the Windy City of Chicago looking for a rare win in the United Center — an accomplishment they’ve only claimed once in the past four years. Now, […]
It wasn’t pretty, and of course it couldn’t be easy, but “win” is still a much sweeter word than “loss’. The Rockets broke their losing streak, and more importantly got off the road, which seemingly caused small problems to snowball downhill, getting bigger and frostier as the trip went on. That’s been much discussed. But […]
On Tuesday, the Houston Rockets were desperate for a win at the Toyota Center against a hapless Chicago Bulls squad with massive height and length disparities.
A career scoring night from Bulls guard Tre Jones was ultimately wasted when Chicago ran out of gas late in the fourth quarter of what had been a fairly competitive clash. Jones, starting his seventh straight game for an ailing Josh Giddey , had an absolutely elite scoring run to keep the game competitive late.
Ultimately, Hou...

The Chicago Bulls are set to take on a tough Western Conference opponent in the Houston Rockets tonight. This will be the first time these two teams face each other this season, and there’s no reason to lean on past matchups, because the Rockets look completely different from a year ago. The biggest change, of course, is the addition of Kevin Durant.
Houston is considered one of the favorites to win the West, and maybe even a contender for the NBA title. But right now, they’re in the midd...
Wake up, Chicago, it’s game day!
Tonight the Chicago Bulls head to Texas to take on the Houston Rockets. This will be the first time these two teams face each other this season, so honestly, anything could happen (Houston are the favorites… cough cough). It’s also the first game of a back-to-back, so it would really help Chicago if the winner gets decided a little earlier than the final buzzer.
And there’s plenty more to talk about too, including LeBron James and the newly reschedule...
First off: I’ll be at my brother’s wedding and spending time with family for the next week. In my absence, Xiane and Holly will be taking over the game previews for Houston’s next four games. Please be kind to them and engage in meaningful and respectful conversation in the comments. Things are bad for the […]
The Dallas Mavericks (14-25) are home for a bit and start off this stretch by hosting the Brooklyn Nets (11-25) on Monday night. Dallas got waxed by the Chicago Bulls on Saturday in the first dead performance from the Mavericks in some time. The Nets are on a three-game losing streak and most recently fell […]
The postponed game between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls, originally set for Jan. 8, was rescheduled to Jan. 29, the team announced Monday. The game will be the first of three consecutive games between the two teams. The inaugural contest will be in Chicago, while the final two will be in Miami. The originally […]

The Chicago Bulls’ best player, point guard Josh Giddey , had been in the midst of a fringe All-Star season (fine, fine, maybe a fringe All-Star injury replacement season). But he’s also been out of commission for the last two weeks with a hamstring strain.
With Chicago set to square off against lottery teams three times in the next six days, the team could certainly use as many healthy bodies as it can get to notch easy wins.
According to Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic , Giddey has be...
It’s been a really fun weekend in Chicago, and now we’re right back into Monday, dodging the Blues and seeing Red. The Bulls have a long week ahead: four games in six days, starting tomorrow against the Houston Rockets. If they can wrap this stretch with at least three wins against mostly non-playoff teams, I’d say this weekend’s happiness has a real chance to survive all the way to next Sunday.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
The Bulls will be taking on the Houston Rockets at a very ...
Michael Jordan over Craig Ehlo. Patrick Kane’s backhander for the hat trick against the Canucks. Caleb Williams’ 4th-and-8 throw to Rome Odunze in the 4th Quarter.
By no means am I saying the Bears are on their way to dynasty runs like Michael Jordan’s Bulls or the Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews era Blackhawks. But if we’re fortunate enough to see Caleb Williams lead the Bears to a Super Bowl at one point, we’re going to look back at that throw as the official stamp of arrival. Jordan an...
What a night!
On January 10, the Chicago Bulls, the Blackhawks , the Cubs , and the Bears all grabbed a win of their own. The city is riding a wave of euphoria it doesn’t quite know how to handle, but it’s handling it with a lot of smiles and plenty of flexing on social media. I don’t know about you, but the way the Bulls won last night was the real surprise.
What a 2-hour span for the Windy City. Have yourself a night, Chicago! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/DLENZKgNmx — SportsCenter (@S...
When I found out that all three Chicago teams were playing tonight, I figured at least two would win — but I never would’ve guessed all three and the Bulls would be one of them. In surprisingly dominant fashion, the Bulls joined the Bears in victory even before their game even ended, making Chicago native and Packers fan Anthony Davis sit there and watch both his team get demolished by Chicago.

The Dallas Mavericks got ran off the floor, literally, against the Chicago Bulls 125-107 Saturday night in Chicago. Dallas drops their second straight game against a losing team, their first game since Anthony Davis injured his hand in the loss against the Jazz on Thursday night. This was a no-good, very-bad game for the Mavericks, […]
The Dallas Mavericks (14-25) began a new era of sorts on Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls (18-20) — one where Anthony Davis is out for the foreseeable future. The Mavs came in with a 4-14 record in games Davis sits, and ended up with another loss after a 125-107 beat down. Let’s get to […]
The Dallas Mavericks (14-25) are a nothing team going to a nowhere place, after limping into the United Center on Saturday and dropping a 125-107 decision to the Chicago Bulls (18-20). Seven Bulls scored in double figures, led by Coby White (22 points, 9-of-15 shooting) and Ayo Dosunmu (20 points on 7-of-9 shooting, eight assists), […]
