Richard Hamilton scored 14 points in his return to The Palace, and the Chicago Bulls shut down the Detroit Pistons in a 99-83 victory Wednesday night.
Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Richard Hamilton have been selected to represent the Bulls on this year's ballot.
To say that the Bulls have looked good in the teams' first two games of the 2011-12 NBA season would be a lie.
There will be plenty of success for the Bulls, but those pleasant surprises – the kind that made last season so special – will have to wait.
Derrick Rose scored 22 points and hit a short go-ahead jumper with 4.8 seconds to play, and the Chicago Bulls rallied from an 11-point deficit in the final four minutes for a 88-87 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday.
Carlos Boozer scored 24 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 93-85 win over the Indiana Pacers in a preseason game Tuesday night.
Former Pistons guard Richard Hamilton is now a Bull and will play his first game with the team Tuesday night in a preseason tilt against the Pacers.
Richard "Rip" Hamilton could be a member of the Bulls shortly. Hamilton has already been officially released by the Pistons and is in the process of going through waivers. If, or when, he passes through the waivers, the Bulls will be ready with a 2 year contract for the veteran shooting guard.
The Score's Jason Goff hosted a round table discussion late Tuesday night to discuss the upcoming season and what the Bulls need to do to make it past the Eastern Conference Finals and win a title.
Year one of the Carlos Boozer era in Chicago was, simply put, a disappointment.
Despite the Bulls posting the best regular season record in the NBA and making it to the Eastern Conference Finals, Carlos Boozer faced a lot of criticism when his numbers dipped in the playoffs.
Terry Boers started a spirited Score debate with listeners Tuesday when he said Charles Tillman is the best Bears cornerback ever. That statement probably said more about the team's mostly nondescript recent history at the position than anything.
Carlos Boozer reportedly was one of many star athletes at a Manhattan night club where a deadly shooting occurred early Tuesday morning
David Stern and Billy Hunter are still hard at work trying to save the NBA season but it appears that many of the league's top stars are getting ready to hit the road for a two-week world tour that will consist of six games spanning across four continents.
With no meetings scheduled between no and then, the hope of having a complete regular season is fading, but K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune think there still will be basketball.
"I have no idea who that guy is..." That's what Bulls analyst, Kendall Gill, told me and Jason Goff Thursday night after the Bulls drafted Nikola Mirotic.
When the dust settled on the free agent frenzy last summer, the Chicago Bulls were left with several key role players and one player who was supposed to be a difference maker: Carlos Boozer.
Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer has reportedly purchased a $2.35 million condo in Miami.
Chicago, like any city, has seen its share of free agent disasters through the years. Bryan Cox, Eddie Robinson, Danny Jackson all come to mind. But how often do you get to see on one night two acquisitions that as of now look like colossal screwups?
After the Chicago Bulls lost to the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference finals on Thursday night, the consensus seems to be that if they had one more perimeter scorer, that they could have enough firepower to knock off the Heat.
Last summer, the NBA saw the best free agency class they've ever had, hit the open market. The Eastern Conference finals featured some of the big names from that class, and some of those players played up to their free agency hype.
Funny how life can change on a dime. With four minutes to go and the Bulls up 12 , I was quickly making my travel plans to Miami. No doubt the Bulls were thinking the same thing as they led 76-64.
In their biggest game of the season, the Chicago Bulls had a chance to end the game in regulation. And in that situation, there was only one person head coach Tom Thibodeau wanted taking that final shot.
At the end of four quarters, the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat found themselves right where they started the game, all tied up.
The Bulls appeared confident when we spoke to them Tuesday morning in the locker room. They said they think they have solved Miami's suffocating defense, but obviously we won't know that until Tuesday night.
