Dwyane Wade Asks Jimmy Butler To Kindly Wipe His Drool Off Gabrielle Union's Instagram Photos<em></em>
Dwyane Wade and Jimmy Butler were previously teammates on the Chicago Bulls, so this could be a lighthearted gag between friends. Uh, maybe....
Jabari Parker Signs Two-Year Deal With The Bulls, Gets The Fresh Start He Deserves
Confident proclamations from Giannis Antetokounmpo about Jabari Parker’s future in Milwaukee turn out to have been premature: Saturday the Milwaukee Bucks rescinded the qualifying offer that gave them matching rights for any restricted free agency offer for Parker, paving the way for Parker to sign ...
Bulls Save Kings From Themselves, Match $78 Million Restricted Free Agency Offer For Zach LaVine
The Bulls and Kings, two teams roughly as far from NBA relevance as possible, spent Friday in a brief tug-of-war over the right to pay huge sums of money for the services of Zach LaVine, a butt player with zero track record of contributing to anything even approaching functional professional basketb...
Robin Lopez Gets Ejected, Flips The Hell Out On His Way Off The Court
I’m not sure exactly what Robin Lopez is saying in this little tirade here—there are clearly several fuck yous, maybe what looks like an instance of bullshit, and some other stuff, all accompanied by very emphatic finger-jabbing—but he was very clearly pissed: ...
Some Cool Highlights From The Knicks' 18-Point Win
The New York Knicks hosted the Chicago Bulls last night. Here’s some stuff that happened in that game....
Grizzlies Valiantly Hold Off Bulls To Remain Lords Of The Tank
The Memphis Grizzlies came into last night’s slate of NBA action riding an 18-game losing streak and with firm command of the NBA’s tanking crown. Surely no team can match the raw, losing prowess of a Grizzlies squad that routinely and intentionally plays JaMychal Green and Jarell Martin next to a t...
Bulls Remain Committed To Losing
Consider the above screenshot. DeAndre Jordan has just missed his second of two free throws. The Bulls—all five of them—are sticking around under the basket. The Clippers—all five of them—are either already heading down the court or getting ready to do so. Who gets the rebound here?...
Lauri Markkanen Gets His Soul Snatched On Jarrett Allen's Dunk, Admirably Tries To Get Revenge<em></em>
The Brooklyn Nets had a real, honest highlight in the third quarter of Monday’s 104-87 win over the Bulls. Nineteen-year-old Jarrett Allen rolled and found himself in the perfect position to throw down a dunk; Bulls rookie Lauri Markkanen found himself in the worst spot to receive it....
Get Ready For The NBA Tanking Campaign Of A Lifetime
By the time the NBA’s All-Star break usually rolls around, the standings are more or less set. It’s typically obvious which four or so teams will be contending for a championship, and it’s also apparent who will be spending the rest of the year in the toilet, tanking for superior lottery odds and dr...
Bobby Portis Plays Role In Derrick Rose-To-Wizards Conspiracy To Perfection
Saturday night, with the Bulls hosting the Wizards, teammate puncher Bobby Portis sent not one but both available Wizards point guards to the locker room with bloody head wounds. Clearly, clearly, this is part of the grand conspiracy to bring Derrick Rose to the Washington Wizards. ...
C.J. McCollum Went Wild In The First Quarter
C.J. McCollum wasted no time in getting a little piece of Trail Blazers history for himself tonight, breaking the team record for points in a single quarter with 28 in the first. That wasn’t just enough to give the Blazers a sizable lead over the Bulls, it was enough to outscore the Bulls—by nine—al...
Kris Dunn Dunks, Smashes Face
Kris Dunn finished off a fourth-quarter dunk against the Warriors tonight by losing his grip on the rim and crashing to the floor, where he landed face-first on the court and ended up bloody:...
Steph Curry Seems Upset
The Bulls went into halftime with a three-point advantage over the Warriors, and besides Jordan Bell getting dunked off the court with a sprained ankle, a few other embarrassing things have gone wrong for Steph Curry’s team so far this evening....
Robin Lopez's Dunk Put Jordan Bell In A Wheelchair
Jordan Bell’s first start of the month started in the cruelest way possible. On the very first possession of the Bulls-Warriors game tonight, Robin Lopez got up a full head of steam, forcing Bell to help over from the corner a bit late. Not only did Bell not quite reach Lopez, he injured himself on ...
Lauri Markkanen Beat Kristaps Porzingis At His Own Game
Remember the end of the last Knicks season, when Phil Jackson, having totally alienated and depressed the trade value of Carmelo Anthony, hinted that he might go full demon and undo the only good thing he’d ever done, drafting Kristaps Porzingis? Remember when he reportedly wanted to dangle him for ...
Chicago's Young Big Men Rule So Hard Right Now
Break up the damn Bulls! Three NBA teams have won eight of their last 10 games, and two of those teams are the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder, a couple of superstar-laden superteams. The Bulls are the third team, and the Bulls are led in total minutes by Justin friggin’ Holiday....
Bobby Portis And Nikola Mirotic Are Undermining Chicago's Tanking Dreams
Nothing you are about to read should be construed as any sort of signal that the Bulls are now good. They are not. They’re bad. They’re so bad, in fact, that this run of good play, now, in December, might actually be a bad thing for them. Tanking incentives are about to change, and the Bulls, desper...
The Chicago Bulls Play "The Beautiful Game"
Casual basketball fans tend to wax rhapsodic about the fluid ball movement and deep unselfishness of San Antonio or Golden State. But true lovers of the sport look only to Chicago. Study every detail of this possession from last night’s Suns-Bulls game; this is what peak performance looks like....
NBA Teams Allowed To Continue Playing After Combined 20-Point First Quarter
The Heat and Bulls are playing this afternoon in Chicago. Probably no one should be watching this game—the Heat are meh, and the Bulls are whoa that milk belongs in the trash, man—but there are few options on a football Sunday if you’re an NBA fan, and this was the only 3:30 p.m. game on today’s sla...
The Bulls Clearly Like Bobby Portis More Than The Guy Whose Face He Broke
Bobby Portis returned this week from an eight-game suspension for concussing and breaking two bones in Nikola Mirotic’s face with a punch in a practice fight, and Portis was unexpectedly great: 21 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes coming off the bench. But it doesn’t take a very close between-th...
