The Chicago Bulls have a tall task on their hands tonight as they host the red-hot Los Angeles Clippers. Winners of 13 of their last 15 games , the Clippers have surged up the Western Conference standings.
Not long ago, the entire league was holding its breath when they sat near the bottom of the West, especially with the reigning NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder owning their draft pick. Fast forward to now, and Los Angeles finds itself firmly in the play-in picture, with a real chance ...

The Golden State Warriors were dealt a significant blow on Monday night when small forward Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending ACL tear, according ESPN’s Shams Charania . Golden State had been trending up prior to the injury and walked away with a win against the Miami Heat even after Butler went down in the third quarter.
The Warriors have won seven of their last 10 contests, and, at 24-19, are suddenly within range of a top-six seed in the Western Conference.
But losing their sec...

How are we doing, Chicago? A Bears-shaped wound is still fresh from Sunday, but the Bulls play tonight! So yes, the pain may actually continue.
However, I am an Indiana alum, so I’m in a good mood — maybe good enough to not be impacted too much by a Bulls game against the Clippers. Let’s see if that happiness is contagious.

The Brooklyn Nets couldn’t get it done against the Bulls in the home-and-home. They’re back in Brooklyn on Monday where they’ll welcome former Nets assistant Jordan Ott and his new-look Suns. It’s Ott’s first season as head coach after he spent six years with the Nets, spanning from Kenny Atkinson to Jacque Vaughn. Onto the […]

The Chicago Bulls might be getting their best player back this week. On Sunday, $100 million point guard Josh Giddey partook in his first five-on-five practice since suffering a hamstring strain during a workout with the Bulls’ NBAGL affiliate, the Windy City Bulls.
Giddey’s All-Star reserve dreams may be dashed if he misses much more time. We already know he missed out on starting , although that never felt like a real possibility. In 10 games without the 6-foot-7 Aussie, the Bulls have ...

Amidst a special triple-header Martin Luther King Jr. Day slate of national games on NBC/Peacock, the NBA’s 10 All-Star starters for next month were announced. And no, injured Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey — the Bulls’ best player this year — did not make the cut.
After missing 10 straight games for Chicago with a hamstring strain, there’s a decent chance Giddey won’t be named an All-Star reserve this year, either. He’s been enjoying a breakout run, averaging a near-triple-double ...

Even though the Chicago Bulls won last night, the city of Chicago isn’t exactly celebrating. And no—it’s not because the Bulls beat a shorthanded team (though, let’s be honest, that does mean very little). It’s because the dream-like season of the Chicago Bears came to an end.
We may be Bulls writers here, but we can still appreciate what we witnessed. So I won’t cry because it’s over, I’ll smile because it happened.
Now, back to the hardwood.

Here are two words that go really well together: “Bulls” and “Fail.” Not just a reality on the court, but an even bigger one in the front office.
Right now, all eyes are on the Chicago Bulls — especially on their players with lucrative expiring contracts. On paper, those contracts are a golden ticket for NBA teams looking to dump bad money and regain financial flexibility.
But having leverage only matters if you know how to use it.

Tonight, the United Center will be busy as the Chicago Bulls host the Brooklyn Nets. The Nets, who just snapped their five-game losing streak on Friday against the Bulls, appear ready to take it easy tonight, resting key players in Chicago.
They’re probably sitting this one out to watch the Chicago Bears take on the Los Angeles Rams , just like a good portion of the crowd inside the building will be. Expect plenty of phones out and split attention in the stands.

Happy Sunday, Bulls fans!
We’ve got a game tonight… other than the Bears. How about an immediate Chicago vs. Brooklyn rematch? After the Bulls failed to complete the comeback on Friday, they get a third crack at the Nets. At this point, it might not even be in the Bulls’ best interest to win this one, but as they keep hovering just under .500, you already know what’s coming. They’ll find a way to win, pull themselves right back to the middle, and keep the cycle alive.

The Bulls’ Nikola Vucevic Experience might finally, mercifully be nearing its end. The former two-time All-Star’s $21.5 million salary comes off Chicago’s books this summer. So it’s encouraging to hear that Chicago is potentially in the market to add more center help this year. Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal reports that the Bulls and Indiana Pacers are both considering trades for second-year New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi.

As the Chicago Bulls gear up for a second United Center Derrick Rose Night in as many years, this time to retire his jersey (a thing they could have easily done the first time around, had Michael Reinsdorf gotten his act together), they’ve been ramping up the hype machine.
It’s a good thing, too, because the on-court product has been woefully inconsistent. On Friday night, the Bulls blew a fourth-quarter comeback attempt against the lowly Brooklyn Nets , thanks in large part to a pair of ...

On Wednesday, Chicago barely survived a Utah Jazz team that would clearly love to lose as much as possible down this season’s home stretch. A botched Keyonte George jumper was all that stood between the Bulls and overtime, against a Jazz club missing two of its best three players.
