Prepare yourself for… the horror that shall be the ho-hum-probably-just-better-than-mediocre 2012-13 Chicago Bulls. MUAHAHAHAHA!
After missing the team's final exhibition game Friday with a sore groin, Kirk Hinrich will start in the Bulls season opener against the Kings on Wednesday night.
Regardless, the real season begins on Halloween night at the United Center and expectations very possibly have never been so wide spread with a team.
As Derrick Rose continues to rehab from the ACL injury he suffered in last season's playoffs, he likely won't be watching Bulls games from the team's bench this season.
It's not easy to watch a team in the process of waiting.
The Bulls' announcement of a four-year contract extension for head coach Tom Thibodeau may have come as a shock to the fans and media, but Thibodeau wasn't at all surprised the deal got done.
Brian Scalabrine could join the Bulls coaching staff for the 2012-13 season.
For those who think Rose won't be the same player when he returns, the former MVP of the league has a message for you.
Such is the first half of the year in sports. In the spirit of the highs and lows of Independence Day, here are the bangs and duds of the sports year up until now, both locally and abroad.
The Rockets can't officially sign Omer Asik to the 3-year deal worth roughly $25 million until July 11.
The Spurs don't play the "money and me" game, and they certainly don't care for super egos running the team. They never have and they seemingly never will.
Two years into that deal, fans are calling for the Bulls to use the amnesty clause on Boozer's contract, which would allow them to pay the remaining money on the contract without that money affecting the salary cap.
The loss of Derrick Rose will undoubtedly change the look of the Bulls during the 2012-13 season, but that doesn't mean the Bulls will overhaul their entire roster.
General manager Gar Forman said Tuesday that Thibodeau's option will be picked up and they will resume talks about a longterm extension soon.
Forward Taj Gibson, who rolled his ankle in the third quarter of the Bulls Game 5 win over the 76ers, will play in Game 6 in Philadelphia tonight.
Outside of a few ridiculous sports radio callers who are incredibly out of touch with reality, nobody is going to tell you the Bulls are anywhere near the same team without Derrick Rose.
When Taj Gibson rolled his ankle late in the third quarter, the feeling at the United Center was palpable.
Joakim Noah ditched his walking boot in Tuesday morning's shootaround and wasn't completely ruled of for tonight's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but don't expect him to play.
Thibodeau's propensity for getting the most out of his team on an every-night basis should be praised.
What's the point of playing 66 games with postseason determination if that doesn't continue into the actual playoffs?
Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah is out for Game 4 of the playoffs against the Philadelphia 76ers because of a sprained left ankle.
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich was named NBA Coach of the Year Tuesday, beating out Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, who finished in second.
While I'm not a doctor – and didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night – I'm of the school of thought that if Rose's ACL was going to blow out, then it was going to blow out.
Without Rose, the Bulls went 18-9 en route the best record in the NBA.
As I sit here at the Bulls practice facility I can't help but think back to the aftermath of yesterday's playoff game vs. Philadelphia.
