I love Stacey King.  At first he was just a few scattered catchphrases with very little real analysis, and that was fine.  He wasn’t great, and his rapport with Neil Funk was fractured at best.  He has come a long way from those days though.  In just two short years he has developed a repertoire [...]

When Derrick Rose suffered his second injury this season at the hands of Dwight Howard in last night’s 111-82 loss to the Orlando Magic it became painfully obvious (emphasis on ‘pain’) that the Bulls’ playoff hopes are slipping away fast.  If the Bulls were to somehow make it into the playoffs [...]

I love D-Rose.  The kid can play and his performance at the All-Star game was perfect.  He carried himself with all-star swagger, while still looking to defer to his seniors and fellow all-stars around him.  A main issue about a big free agent coming to Chicago that no one seems to be talking about is [...]

After what seems like an eternity, the Chicago Bulls will finally be sending someone to the 2010 All-Star game in Dallas!!  Yahoo Sports reports:
Point guards Deron Williams of Utah, Chicago’s Derrick Rose and Boston’s Rajon Rondo will make their All-Star Game debuts next month in Dallas, sources said Thursday.
Williams, Rondo and Rose top the list [...]

The last week’s 4-game winning streak has given Bulls fans hope for the stretch run this season, but it’s tough not to look ahead to the deadline and the summer.  Mike McGraw wrote an article this morning, speculating on all kinds of Bulls rumors that are a combination of speculation and actual news.  The biggest [...]

I just wanted to share this little tidbit I found via Truehoop on the Rockets blog Red94, which explains Rose’s ridiculous speed and quickness as well as anyone has described it to date:
I don’t think I have ever seen a guy with a first step similar to that of Rose.  A lot of times, what [...]

The Phoenix Who?  That’s what Vinny Del Negro is asking after last night’s beat down.  Random fact: Since Vinny started coaching the Bulls, they are 3-0 against his former employer.  Anyways, this post is not about Vinny Del Negro, or even the Bulls giving the Suns a spanking.  This is about Derrick Rose’s performance.  Let’s [...]

When America votes for things, it usually doesn’t turn out well.  For instance: George W. Bush for President, Iverson for All-Star, and Proposition 8 passing in California (come on, marriage between a man and a woman is as much of a farce or more so than marriage between a man and a man).  I have [...]

This interview from ESPN is the first time I have ever heard Derrick Rose say anything.  I mean sure he has been interviewed in the past, but usually his responses are all cliche “We gave 110% tonight” type answers.  He actually discusses how Vinny’s job instability is affecting the team, Ben Gordon, and a host [...]

I know Rose seems kind of timid and isn’t always the smoothest operator in front of the media, but he is a pretty cool customer in this commercial with KG.  Enjoy!

For those of you who don’t watch “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, I highly recommend it.  For those of you that do, bear with me while I explain the D.E.N.N.I.S. system.  In a recent episode of Always Sunny, Dennis explained his “foolproof system for getting any chick’s undying love”.  Here are the basic steps of [...]

Yesterday, we reported that Derrick Rose won Victoria’s Secret’s “Chicago’s Sexiest Athlete” award.  But come on now, did you really think that an election in Chicago would go off without some kind of scandal?  No Spain, No Gain has the details, and they aren’t pretty.  Apparently the Bulls site is reporting Derrick Rose won, but [...]

It’s too bad the Bulls can’t seem to win any games, but there is some good news.  Rose was awarded “Chicago’s Sexiest Athlete” by Victoria’s Secret and Joakim Noah was on the cover of GQ France.  There must be some confusion about Noah, since I’m pretty sure GQ guys are usually well-dressed and good-looking, but [...]

Everyone is in full on panic mode about the Bulls, and on some level that is understandable.  It’s never fun to watch your team lose 4 straight.  The problem is that some combination of raised expectations, a lack of understanding about the Bulls schedule, poor shooting, and of course Rose’s bum ankle (or confidence, but [...]

The situation with Derrick Rose this season has been confusing for fans, teammates, and even coaches.  The common belief for his struggles compared to last season’s success have been some combination of battling injury and a poor jump shot.  But is that really what’s going on?  The last week or so I’ve been trying to [...]
