Reports came out yesterday that everything is amazing on the road to recovery for Derrick Rose.  Rose was spotted in Alabama visiting famed orthopedic doctor James Andrews and the team went out of its way to make clear everything was dandy: The visit to Alabama was reportedly for a consultation only and the team feels [...]

Blah blah blah free agents blah blah blah.  What about what we already have?  The most electric young point guard in the league, Derrick Rose, has two facets of his game that need to improve drastically: 3-point shooting and defense.  There were rumors that he was in an LA gym with Tyreke Evans and trainer [...]

By Paul M. Banks and David Kay, President and V.P. of The Sports Bank.net The Chicago Bulls could use a good perimeter scorer, someone who can really light it up from deep. Even though Kirk Hinrich played out of his mind for a couple games of the first round series loss to Cleveland, he’s not [...]

Bulls Win!!!  That game was unbelievable.  While I have said all along I think the Bulls will lose in 5 or 6, once they took the court in Cleveland for game 1 it became apparent that they were going to need some divine intervention to even win 1 game.  I don’t know if the game [...]

This video and the accompanying post say pretty much all you need to hear about how I feel regarding the terrible treatment Rose gets from officials.  Take a look at the video and then click this link ShamSports.com‘s must-read post on the topic.

By Paul M. Banks is Founder/President of The Sports Bank.net Normally, I’m the last absolute last person to say something like this. I’m the polar opposite of the sports fans who believe in things along the lines of “If I listen to them on the radio they always do better than when I watch ‘em [...]

The Bulls have a lot of problems right now, but this kid’s ability to light it up in the open court is not one of them.  Enjoy!

The Bulls are hanging onto their playoff hopes by a thread, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some good highlights.  Noah actually runs the break in this clip and tosses up a filthy alley-oop to D-Rose in last night’s victory over the Wizards.

So I went to last night’s game with my 80+ year old grandmother.  I figured I’d recap the game through her eyes. Oh, I don’t follow these guys like I used to. I don’t know half of them. To be fair, there has been some significant roster turnover since the beginning of the season. What [...]

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 and wind up playing [...]

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 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 [...]
