It Happened to Scottie Pippen
Scottie Pippen was a brilliant point-forward who could defend. He had a superlative career that sent him to the Hall of Fame. But one moment, his brain froze. His image forever changed
Pacers, Wizards, Heat, Bucks. Who Is the 8th Seed?
Four teams are fighting for playoff seeding in the bottom of the East. Two teams are from the Central and two teams from the Southeast. The Pacers are in the 5 slot and want to hang on. They’d play the 76ers in the first round. The Wizards are currently sixth and slotted to play LeBron…
Jimmy Butler Wins the Draft
Forget Lonzo and LaVar Ball speaking the Lakers into existence. Forget Markelle Fultz and the Process. Or, Jayson Tatum possibly imitating the game of Paul Pierce. Or a young Frenchman playing for his team’s title but first a short flight to NY for the Knicks to draft him. Or, all the Porzingis trade rumors that…
The Michael Carter-Williams Puzzle
When Michael Carter-Williams was traded for the second time in his young career, on the face of it, there was a huge red flag warning for the Chicago Bulls who became team number three. Why would a 6-6 point guard lottery pick be unable to stick with a team and system unless he is a…
Derrick Rose Laughing At the Bulls?
The Bulls are in full blow the house up mode with players turning on each other. What do you think Derrick Rose is thinking now? The Bulls were arrogantly excited to unload him because Jimmy Butler was their franchise player and DRose had become exhausting. Windy City karma, maybe? C.J. Hampshire: Hell, yeah karma. This…
Jimmy Butler Trade Talk Is Why You Can’t Trust The Bulls
We have been here before with Jimmy Butler (allegedly) on the trade market. As we approached last year’s trading deadline and even during the summer the rumors persisted that the Bulls were shopping him. Then as in now, it made zero sense. Franchise players are hard to come by, impossible even. If you look at…
Must See TV: 5 Games You Absolutely Have to Watch
With the NBA schedule released, it’s time to get excited for some of the most anticipated regular season matchups. This year’s schedule will certainly have it all, from the return of a hero turned villain, to hard fought battles among contenders. I can’t wait for the season to start, so without further ado, here are…
Jimmy Butler and Steve Kerr are the Bulls Last Hope
The irony of the catastrophe, that is the Chicago Bulls minus Tom Thibodeau, is that interest in the Bulls is still strong. It’s just not this Bulls team. All of the attention is on the Michael Jordan glory year of 1995-96 and their 72 win season that, at the time, seemed as unbreakable as Hank…
Bulls Fans Waiting For Their Apology
Yesterday, Clippers star Blake Griffin expressed how very, very sorry he was for the friend-on-friend violence in a Toronto restaurant when he slugged a team employee, not once, but several times, bashing Matias Testi’s face in. Griffin said, “I want to apologize to the fans.” It was refreshing to hear accountability. Griffin’s behavior put his…
Mike Dunleavy Returns But Will It Matter?
One week before the All-Star break, the Chicago Bulls, who were supposed to compete with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the top spot in the east, are floundering their way through the conference. They are currently a 5th seed in the conference and 1.5 games from being an 8th seed. They are closer to being in…
