We all knew the end was near for Vinny.  We thought it would happen on Christmas, but when it didn’t it just became a matter of time.  Well the time is now for Vinny.  He will be officially fired at a press conference today.  There will be a lot of time to look back on [...]

By now, we have all heard about the alleged incident between Vinny Del Negro and John Paxson.  While the details are unclear, the consensus still seems to be that Paxson was the aggressor in this situation.  The question now arises, will any lawsuits be brought on account of the incident?  An interesting quote from the [...]

Apparently some sources are reporting Vinny was the aggressor now, but as far as we know, it went down just like it is pictured here:

Stormin Norman aptly wrote in this space earlier this week that the Bulls were trying to build a shady case to fire Vinny Del Negro. Well today the news broke that Bulls management went further than just trying to question his in-game management skills or refusing to publicly support Vinny Del Negro with reporters. Reports [...]

When the Bulls hired Vinny, the first thing I said was “that guy looks like John Cusack and Luke Wilson.”  Well, the first thing I said was “Are you kidding me?” But the second thing I said was definitely that crap about Cusack and Wilson.  In fact, I even wrote a post about it.  Two [...]

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 [...]

The news broke on Friday afternoon that Tyrus Thomas had been suspended for Friday night’s game and fined an unspecified amount for conduct detrimental to the team.  The initial reports from the Tribune and other sports sites did not elaborate on the conduct but one could guess that it had to do with his lack [...]

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 [...]

Thankfully for us, someone put a Bulls montage together with Al Pacino’s famous “Inches” speech in “Any Given Sunday”.  It seems very fitting right now. Although the Bulls have started to play a bit better lately against some weaker opponents, they still have a long way to go.  This season may not be entirely lost, [...]

It’s almost Christmas Eve everyone, and I know I’m getting excited.  I don’t usually celebrate Christmas, being that I’m a Jew, but this may be one of those rare years where I throw down with that long-haired carpenter and have a bit of eggnog to celebrate his birth (or death, not sure.  Jewish, remember?).  Anyways, [...]

Wait, where are the other hundred matches, like the one that says “incompetence” or “blown out at home by the Raptors”? h/t: Smells Like Mascot

Before I answer the question about Chicago moving on from Ben Gordon, let me throw some numbers at you: 2008-2009 (w/Ben Gordon): FG%: .457 (16th) PPG: 105.1 (8th) Opponents FG%: .458 (15th) 2009-2010 (w/o Ben Gordon): FG%: .433 (27th) PPG: 91.4 (27th) Opponents FG%: .457 (18th) The obvious answer to the question posed is that [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
