Pre-Gamin’: Bulls vs Timberwolves (7:00 CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More

In a bit of poetic justice, Josh Giddey will seek his vengeance against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night. The Chicago Bulls point guard, who suffered a hamstring strain midway through an ill-fated 136-101 loss to Minnesota last month and had been gone ever since, will be playing on a minutes restriction. Minnesota, meanwhile, is highly motivated to end a three-game losing skid as its front office and coaches get a chance to scout some of their preferred Bulls trade prospects i...

Josh Giddey BACK For Bulls Rematch Against Minnesota (REPORT)

Nearly a month after he was forced to depart the Chicago Bulls’ doomed Dec. 29 tilt against the then-mighty (now-mortal) Minnesota Timberwolves, point guard Josh Giddey is making his long-awaited return to the lineup for a rematch on Thursday night. Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network , the 23-year-old will be playing on a 24-minute restriction. It’s unclear if he will start. The 6-foot-7 Aussie has sat out Chicago’s last 11 contests due to a hamstring strain, during which the...

Around The NFL: Brian Flores Returns to Vikings, Baker vs. Stefanski, Nagy and the Eagles? Is Tomlin Done?

There was a point during my Wednesday night where the last three notifications on my phone were news that Eric Bieniemy was leaving the Bears for the Chiefs, Al Harris interviewed with the Packers for their defensive coordinator position, and Brian Flores was set to return to the Vikings. What a trifecta of yuck. Brian Flores returns to the Vikings Much to the chagrin of every rival NFC North quarterback, the Minnesota Vikings are bringing back Brian Flores. The Vikings announced Flo...

Edwin’s Journal: The most Lakers week ever

This recent week of Lakers basketball was so dramatic that it makes HBO’s show “Winning Time” look like a reality TV show. On the court, we had bad losses like falling to the Hornets in a game they made LaMelo Ball look like prime Steph Curry, allowing him to hit nine 3-pointers. We also witnessed […]

Would/Should the Blackhawks Have Interest in Artemi Panarin?

It seems like any time Artemi Panarin’s name has come up with the phrase “potentially available” near it, Blackhawks fans have had the Jackson 5 ready to go. Yes, the New York Rangers are entering a likely 6-7 teardown period during which it appears any/all of their pending free agents will be available for trade (maybe some of their veterans with term as well). The reports that Artemi Panarin, in the final year of his contract, will not receive another contract from the Blue Shirts has l...

On The Bulls Eye: College Center Watch 2026

I’m not normally the kind of guy who advocates that a team prioritize position over player — except when it comes to our Chicago Bulls’ current “brain” “trust” (I don’t remember who first made that joke, probably our guys at BlogABull ) of president Arturas Karnisovas and GM Marc Eversley. It seems like nearly every darn year, they draft a raw, athletic forward. Happily, 2024 first-round pick Matas Buzelis is looking like a true-blue keeper. And I do have to concede that one of the few ti...
