Quick Thoughts from Tonight’s Bulls Game

29 January, 2010 (22:29) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls | By: South Side Sheik

Excuse me if I don’t cover much of the first three quarters of this game, but  I was spending time with my grandmother who is extremely ill. Thus, most of my impressions from the first three quarters were based on what the radio team was telling me on the drive back into the city.

Newsflash: Chicago Bulls Rely Too Heavily on Jumpers

19 January, 2010 (12:00) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

This is painful to see.  I mean in my gut I know we are a jump-shooting team that can’t hit 3s.  I know it.  But part of me always thinks that we are getting some points in transition and Rose gets a lot of his points around the basket (lately at least).  Alas, thanks to [...]

Chicago Bulls 2009-2010 Team Goes 80’s On Us

7 November, 2009 (15:00) | Chicago Bulls, Video | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

I would have to say watching Luol Deng belt out “Fame” is probably the highlight of my day.  Enjoy the Bulls Totally 80’s tapes!

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? Maybe.  True? [...]

Shaq Could Be Tweeting From Rush Street While Gordon Could Be Taking His Services to The Palace (As The Rumor Mill Turns)

17 June, 2009 (11:00) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Lost in America’s obsession with LeBron James and the possibility of Shaquille O’Neal joining him in Cleveland is the fact that CLEVELAND HAS NOTHING TO OFFER in exchange!  On the other hand, the Suns have been interested in Luol Deng since they drafted him in 2004 (he was immediately traded to the Bulls).  Not only [...]

Deng Better Think Twice Before Playing For Great Britain

5 May, 2009 (08:51) | Chicago Bulls | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Luol Deng struggled this season from wire to wire.  After signing a huge contract (oops), he played like shit the first half of the season and eventually sat the last few months of the season with a stress fracture.  Some people say he was faking it, or that he couldn’t play through pain and that [...]

It’s The Second Coming, Just Call Him John Salmons This Time Around

19 March, 2009 (10:00) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls, NBA | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

Could it be possible that the answer to the question of who could be the guy next to Rose for the next couple years was neither Gordon or Deng?  Could it be that a throw-in for a salary-dump deal was the answer?  I believe that it is.  Not that we don’t all love Deng as [...]

Bulls Management Tries To Make Deng Look Bad

12 March, 2009 (10:00) | Basketball, Chicago Bulls, NBA | By: Stormin' Norman Disciple

When Luol Deng was first injured, the Bulls listed him as day-to-day and no one thought much of it.  After keeping him as day-to-day for two weeks, they finally came out and said that he was injured and would be out at least two weeks with the possibility of surgery.  No big deal, right?  Just [...]
