That was an exciting game and the Bulls played decently in the series considering the competition they were up against.  That being said, the officiating in Game 5 was horrendous.  The sequence with Shaq drawing what seemed like 5 fouls on the Bulls big men in under 20 seconds was insane.  Those weren’t close calls. [...]

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 [...]

The NBA Playoffs start tomorrow and it looks like the Bulls earned the toughest draw they could by barely scraping in as the 8th seed.  I truly believe the Bulls give the Cavs some matchup problems, but for the most part the Cavs should dominate the series.  I am picking the Cavs in 6, but [...]

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 [...]

This video is a remix of 5 of the greatest athlete meltdowns in front of a camera recorded in the last decade or so.  Iverson’s famous “practice” speech is featured prominently, but don’t count out Denny Green, Jim Mora, and a late guest appearance by Joe Namath–”I just wanna kiss you”.  Trust me you want [...]

Chicago does not mess around when it comes to our sports teams.  Even the elite, snooty, ivory tower types that hang out at museums are throwing their weight behind the Hawks and Bulls.  Here is what the Field Museum had to say about it’s recent displays: “The Chicago Blackhawks jersey will now be on the [...]

The Bulls have been gameplanning for Kevin Garnett the last week or so.  The problem is that KG was declared to be out for the entire playoffs by the Celtics.  There has been a lot of speculation about whether he would attempt a comeback during this series.  Up until now it had been mostly speculation, [...]

What an unbelievable start to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the Blackhawks in their return to the postseason.  After a slow start the Hawks got it together in the second period and ended up beating the Flames in overtime to take a 1-0 lead in the series. After the slow start, the Hawks managed to [...]

It’s Hawks and Flames tonight at 7:30 CT on CSN and I thought the best way to prepare would be to show an embarrassing video of Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf being made a fool of.  Pretty sure it’s from a couple of years ago, but it’s still funny.

The Bulls playoff schedule has been released.  Here are the games: Game 1 – Sat April 18 Chicago at Boston 11:30AM ESPN Game 2 – Mon April 20 Chicago at Boston 6:00PM TNT Game 3 – Thu April 23 Boston at Chicago 7:00PM TNT Game 4 – Sun April 26 Boston at Chicago 12:00PM ABC [...]

Okay, so one night of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is already in the books, but I’m making my playoff picks today anyway.  Zoner posted his picks yesterday, so I figured I’d give it a shot.  As much as I have come to enjoy watching the Hawks play the last few years, I just can’t pick [...]

Well there goes some of that great momentum the Bulls were riding going into the playoffs.  With the Bulls loss last night and the 76ers big OT win against Cleveland (which fielded a D-League team, *cough* bullshit *cough*), the Bulls have secured the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference.  Instead of facing the Magic, they [...]

For the first time in a long time, the Blackhawks will be playing hockey past mid-April.  We’ll have plenty of coverage throughout the series, but here are some bullet thoughts to get you prepared.  The two teams couldn’t be entering the series on much different streaks.  The Blackhawks had looked like they were heading for [...]
