Derrick Rose Injured In Freak Apple Peeling Incident
Derrick Rose's NBA career is off to a phenomenal start. The number one overall pick is averaging 18 points and six assists so far in his rookie year, he's already become the leader of his Chicago Bulls squad, and his highlight reel moves are electrifying crowds across the land. It seems the only thing that can stop this wunderkind is the sinister threat of raw unsliced produce. More »

Tiny Man Celebrates Bulls' Blind Luck
The tiny man you see here — and "tiny," of course, is relative to two men standing next to him; in reality, he's probably 6-foot-9 — is Steve Schanwald, executive VP of the Chicago Bulls. He was a very happy tiny man last night; it's a good thing Chicago isn't a huge city with a potentially rabid fanbase and a considerably vaunted history in the NBA, or someone might have said that thar thing was rigged.

Raging Bull: More Trouble For Chicago's NBA Mascot
As we learned with this whole ugly Isiah Thomas thing, every NBA owner has his tipping point. Chicago Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf just may have reached his.

Benny The Bull: Free At Last!
Displaying the kind of investigative moxie that could have kept us out of this whole Iraq mess, the Chicago Sun-Times dug into Thursday's Benny the Bull T-shirt assault story and discovered that Benny had been wrongly accused! On Thursday it was reported that Benny — the costumed mascot for the Bulls — shot the Celtics' Kevin Garnett and James Posey from behind with a T-shirt gun. And since Benny had a record, we all believed it. But it just wasn't so, said the Bulls. More » -

Benny The Bull Will Put A Cap In Your Ass
When talking about illegal mascot shenanigans, no one, of course, beats the drunken exploits of the Stanford Tree. But running a close second is Benny the Bull, the only NBA mascot with a criminal record for battery on a police officer. On Tuesday he was at it again, shooting the Celtics' Kevin Garnett and James Posey from behind with a T-shirt gun. Seems a bit unwise to me. More »

Bulls Distracted By Trade Rumors, Other Team's Basketball Ability
• YiHarmony — Well, it certainly doesn't look like Yi Jianlian figured out how not to foul people during games. The waist-high kick is frowned upon, I'd imagine, no matter how high the wall is around your country. But he was only whistled for three fouls in 33 minutes, which enabled him to score a respectable 16 points. Michael Redd added 27 in a 78-72 win over the 0-3 Chicago Bulls. At this juncture, the Bulls best figure out who else to send over to acquire Kobe Bryant. Perhaps they can send all 12 players to the Lakers for Kobe and his 11 teammates. Maybe then Bryant will be satisfied with who else he's playing with. More » -

Of all the funny love connections that came out of last night's NBA Draft, the one we were most tickled by was the match of Joakim Noah and the Chicago Bulls. Seriously. Look at that guy. He looks like that before comes into the sanitarium that is the NBA. In six years, he's going to have physically erased all his facial features, or maybe just have joined the Nation of Islam.

How Sad Is Ben Wallace Today, Really?
It was a nice little hope for a while, some sort of jolt of life into a lagging, pallid Eastern Conference playoffs, but now that the Pistons have advanced past the Bulls and set up a presumably smooth trip past whatever "team" collapses forward enough to win the Cavs-Nets series, we're back to our regularly scheduled boredom. And you have to wonder how Ben Wallace is feeling right now. More » -

Can The Bulls Pull This Off?
It's really quite wild how much can change over two playoff games. After the Bulls' depressing, limp Game 3 loss at home, everyone was writing about how they should blow up the Bulls, how they should have traded for Pau Gasol, how they were too young, how Ben Wallace had no heart. And now, after two oddly convincing wins over the Pistons, the Bulls are spritely and spirited, and the Pistons are scared. And they're gonna be rather nuts at the United Center tonight too, or at least they better be. More » -

The Bulls Aren't Castrated Quite Yet
The Pistons got a little cocky after Game 3, when they took two quarters off, and then still managed to rout the Bulls. They tried the same routine today, but extended it to three quarters, even going so far as to put up a 13-point third quarter and go down by 20. But they couldn't make quite enough magic happen in the fourth. More » -

Wow, We Get Another One Of These Series, Apparently
So here's something no one could have expected: A second-round playoff series between Golden State and Utah that's destined to be thrilling, amazing to watch and go the full seven games. Utah won Game 1, but, as we watched the game early this morning while shaking off our Arcade Fire hangover, we were struck by how fluid the game was. These teams are a joy to behold; if you had the idea that the Jazz were just running the picket fence every time down the court, you're thinking of the wrong Jazz. Even the Golden State fans don't seem that upset. This is going to be another one of those series we don't want to see end. More » -

Heat Don't Make Much Of A Fuss About Leaving
A byproduct of the supposedly middling, uninspiring champions of the last year — the Colts, the Cardinals, the Heat — is the collapse to level soil the next season. A team that overachieves in the postseason one year is likely to return to equilibrium the next. We'll see what happens with the Colts, but you're seeing it with the Cardinals this year, and you definitely saw it with with the Heat's four-game sweep at the hands of the Bulls. It seems strange to even imagine that a defending champ could go down so meekly, let alone one with Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal. More » -

The Heat Suddenly Look Rather Elderly
Never have we been more aware of how important, you know, not being old is in the sport of basketball than during this Heat-Bulls series. Or, as Blog A Bull puts it, "if the Bulls keep getting this open while an aged Heat defender flails away a few steps behind, the shots will likely keep falling." Last night, the Heat definitely had that "caught a few breaks the year before but now too old and decrepit to defend a title" look that our Cardinals have right now. It's unnerving, and almost wistful. More »
