Derrick Rose sat out practice on Monday with his sprained ankle but says he will play in Game 5, "It's not broke so I'm definitely playing."
The Bulls literally and figuratively limped out of town. Literally being Derrick Rose who sprained his ankle in the first quarter.
Just like the old commercial for a watch, Derrick Rose takes a licking but keeps on ticking. Rose has been almost assaulted and battered by the Pacers defense, but has repeatedly bounced up to go to the free throw line.
One year ago today I reported on the Blackhawks playoff game (they won) in Nashville, and tonight I will be reporting on the Bulls playoff game in Indianapolis.
The Bulls have barely gotten by the Pacers in each of the first two games in this series, and the last time they played in Indianapolis the Pacers prevailed.
Should we look at this picture as a glass half empty or half full? The Bulls are up two games to none in their series with Indiana, but they truly have not played anything like a No. 1 seed.
The time for talk is over. It's NBA playoff time and the Chicago Bulls are ready.
The fans and the media have been looking forward to the NBA Playoffs for months and now the Chicago Bulls can too.
The Chicago White Sox said that Adam Dunn would miss at least five games after undergoing his appendectomy, and they were right.
The Bulls pretty much wrapped up the Eastern Conference Thursday night with a convincing 97-81 victory over the Celtics.
Derrick Rose has so many intangibles that make him great and one of them is never being satisfied with how he, or the team, plays. Tuesday night was yet another example as the Bulls defeated Phoenix 97-94.
Andrew Cashner had to leave Tuesday's game in the 6th inning after he experienced tightness in his right shoulder.
A combination of good pitching and hitting allowed the Cubs to return to the .500 mark as they defeated the Diamondbacks 4-1.
Tom Thibodeau certainly wasn't enthralled losing a game on Monday night but he sure used it to his advantage at practice Tuesday.
Another poor start (and this time also a poor finish) caught up with the Bulls on Monday night as they lost to the 76ers 97-85. This was the Bulls 3rd straight poor start to a game.
Try as you may to get the Bulls players to talk about the upcoming playoffs but it's a useless subject, for now. They refuse to look ahead and remain focused on the subject at hand which tonight is the Philadelphia 76ers.
They called it the biggest game of the year going into Saturday night's contest vs. Anaheim and the Hawks were pretty glum after dropping a 2-1 decision.
The Chicago Bulls will be at full strength for tonight's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, as everyone practiced at this morning's shoot around.
With the memory of last season's blowing of a 35 point lead and subsequent loss to Sacramento, there was no way the Bulls were going to repeat that dubious effort.
All hands should be on deck for the Bulls tonight as they play host to the Sacramento Kings. The only question mark is forward Taj Gibson who will be a game time decision with a sore toe.
As expected, Carlos Boozer returned to practice on Sunday for the Bulls who also added a pair of players to their roster.
The Chicago Bulls drafted Derrick Rose with the first overall pick in 2008, a decision drastically changed the fortunes of the organization for the better.
With their 98-79 victory over the Washington Wizards the Bulls are now all alone a top the Eastern Conference. The win moved them a half game ahead of idle Boston with 16 games left in the regular season.
Carlos Boozer will not play this evening against Washington and Joakim Noah will be a game time decision.
Using their most prolific period of the season the Blackhawks rallied for a 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
