Derrick Rose Jersey Outsells Garnett, Wade, and Paul

21 January, 2010 (11:00) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 [...]

Derrick Rose Talks About Vinny, The Loss of Ben Gordon, And The Chicago Bulls

10 January, 2010 (08:42) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 [...]

New Derrick Rose and Kevin Garnett Adidas Commercial

21 December, 2009 (09:25) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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! h/t: Docksquad

Is Derrick Rose D.E.N.N.I.S.ing the Bulls?

3 December, 2009 (11:45) | Chicago Bulls, TV | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 [...]

Chicago’s Sexiest Athlete Election Controversy

3 December, 2009 (10:00) | Chicago | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 [...]

Derrick Rose And Joakim Noah are Becoming Icons (Sort of)

2 December, 2009 (15:03) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 Calm Down, The Bulls Don’t Suck (They Just Aren’t Very Good)

27 November, 2009 (11:58) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 2009-2010 Derrick Rose Conundrum, A Shot Selection Story

23 November, 2009 (07:30) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

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 [...]

The Re-Agressivization of Derrick Rose [And Why Vinny Might Be to Blame]

19 November, 2009 (22:15) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

As I wrote in an earlier post, Rose clearly is not playing at 100% after an ankle injury sidelined him for most of the preseason.  He claims he is about 90% healthy but to be honest he looks 60% at best on most nights.  What strikes anyone watching Bulls games so far this year is, [...]

Everyone Seems To Have Forgotten Derrick Rose is Not 100% Healthy

16 November, 2009 (10:32) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

The talk around town the last couple days has been the performance of Derrick Rose.  Sure, the Noah bandwagon has been big news, but a lot of people are starting to wonder: What’s wrong with Rose? After winning Rookie of the Year honors last year while posting 16.8 points, 6.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds, Rose [...]

Bulls Stun Cavs in Cleveland, Begin to Discover Identity

6 November, 2009 (07:00) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

As you can see from the picture, the Bulls and Cavs game was a physical battle.  The Bulls managed to pull it out 86-85 after a very poor final possession by Cleveland, but not before Hinrich lost a good amount of blood.  More importantly to note, I think we are learning the character of this [...]

D-Rose Commercial With Dwight Schrute

28 October, 2009 (07:42) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Finally, the Derrick Rose Dwight Schrute TNT commercial is out. The Howard and Arenas ones were funny, and this one is good too. It’s great to finally see a member of the Bulls back in a national ad campaign for something. It’s been a while.

What Are The Bulls Being For Halloween?

27 October, 2009 (10:37) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

What would be the most appropriate costumes for the Bulls to wear for Halloween?  That is the question I tried to answer when writing this.  And I know, Noah looks exactly like Sideshow Bob, but that didn’t seem like the best costume for him in my opinion.  Here they are: Derrick Rose as Jesus Sacreligious? [...]

ESPN Analysts Pick Derrick Rose for MVP? Even I’m Not That Crazy

22 October, 2009 (13:55) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Are you getting excited for the NBA season to start?  I know I am.  As fun as watching the Cubs suck, football once a week, and the occasional obsession with online Texas Hold ‘Em are, there’s nothing like the NBA.  One of the best parts of the beginning of the season are the predictions people [...]

Derrick Rose May Be Sitting Opening Night

20 October, 2009 (12:20) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Panic is the first word that comes to mind when I think of a Bulls team without Derrick Rose.  He has been nursing an ankle injury all preseason and hasn’t played much the last couple weeks.  Mostly it has been ignored as a minor injury and since no one cares too much about the preseason [...]
