The Chicago Bulls were on a roll and approaching their first division title in 13 years when Carlos Boozer suffered an injury. But overcoming injuries is nothing new to this Bulls team.
Not much was working for Derrick Rose in the Bulls' 106-94 win over the Bobcats Tuesday night. He was double teamed, trapped and turned-over all night long.
In his two seasons as head coach of the Chicago Bulls, Vinny Del Negro lead the team to an 82-82 record. One year after firing him the Bulls are off to a 33-14 start and sit in third place in the Eastern Conference.
The Chicago Bulls dominated the court against the Indiana Pacers. Derrick Rose's ulcers that have kept him from a solid meal for several days didn't seem to affect his performance much either. However, the victory came at a price as Taj Gibson suffered a late injury.
The Chicago Bulls were leading the Indiana Pacers into the fourth quarter before Taj Gibson had to leave the game.
The fact that the Chicago Bulls lost to the Charlotte Bobcats was bad enough, but they way it happened makes it hurt that much more.
Monday night could be a tough game for the Chicago Bulls. While the team is leading the Central Division, they've struggled on the road and have struggled against their Monday night opponent.
The Chicago Bulls are dominating the Central Division and facing he second place Pacers was no challenge to them. Chicago took an early lead and kept it.
If lately it's seemed like every time the Bulls play, they win, that's because that's kind of been the case. Over their last 18 games, the Bulls have won 14 of them, including a streak of seven and current streak of five games.
The Bulls had a slow start against the Washington Wizards, but Chicago earned a victory. This is their second straight win since the LA Clippers snapped their seven-game win streak.
The Bulls got right back to their winning ways, after having their seven game win streak snapped just a few days ago.
The Bulls will really be short handed when they play host to the Philadelphia 76ers tonight. Taj Gibson joins Joakim Noah on the sidelines, as Gibson is still bothered by the effects of the concussion he suffered Saturday night.
After a so-so start, the Bulls were given a shot of energy by the debut of Carlos Boozer. In Boozer's first nine games as a Bull, the team is 7-2 and all seven wins came in a row.
It was the first game the Bulls were without Joakim Noah and they trailed most of the game against the Clippers. Chicago made a push to comeback in the fourth , falling short by one point. If that's not enough bad news, Taj Gibson left the game during the third with a concussion.
The Bulls were nothing short of astounded that Joakim Noah was able to play with his injury for the last 3 weeks. That injury finally necessitated surgery which was performed successfully Thursday morning.
The Bulls have potentially lost Joakim Noah for up to ten weeks. The Bulls' center will have surgery to repair an injured right hand.
It's never easy, is it? All the fear about Derrick Rose getting hurt, and now this. Just as Carlos Boozer is rounding into form after recovering from that vicious gym-bag attack, Joakim Noah's possible All-Star season is derailed by injured thumb ligaments that require surgery.
Joakim Noah had yet another double double Wednesday night but it likely will be his last for quite a while. The Bulls have announced that the 6'11" center will have surgery Thursday morning to repair damage in his right thumb.
Sweet home Chicago indeed! After seven games and nearly two weeks on the road, the Bulls finally return to the United Center as they square off against the Southeast Division leading Orlando Magic tonight at 7:00 PM.
Carlos Boozer flashed a big smile after practice Monday and for good reason. This was a practice that he actually participated in rather then watch.
Taj Gibson was sidelined as the Bulls faced the Phoenix Suns. He injured his right ankle Monday.
There's an old saying in sports. "If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best." Well that's exactly what the Bulls will be attempting when they play the defending NBA Champs, the Los Angeles Lakers.
Derrick Rose scored 22 points, Taj Gibson added 17 points and a career-high 18 rebounds as the Bulls rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat the Dallas Mavericks.
Our early assessments of the Bulls are all based on how we envision them when Carlos Boozer returns. So far, their play has done nothing to dampen the heightened expectations for them to contend in the NBA's Eastern Conference.
The Bulls host the Knicks Thursday night and expect their third straight win. The Knicks have had difficulties in Chicago, only winning two of 19 in the windy city.
