With Linsanity temporarily suspended, a nation turned its eyes to the next best thing: Bulls-Celtics. Paul Pierce came out on fire, knocking down his first three shots in Chicago, but it was Luol Deng (23 points, 10 assists) who capped the night for the Bulls’ 89-80 victory. He dropped 14 in the fourth quarter, with a huge three from the left corner (one of his six threes) to go up nine in the final minute. Since we brought it up, don’t overlook who fed...Read Full Story
The second half of the NBA season got under way last night and the Bulls vs. Heat debate is in full force. Miami and Chicago sit atop the Eastern Conference and there isn't much debate that one of them will make it to the finals. Last night the Bulls started their second half of the season with a win over the Hornets capped off by a huge Carlos Boozer dunk on Chris Kaman. Boozer will be a huge piece to the puzzle if the Bulls make it to the Championship. Some people (including myself...Read Full Story

The Hawks struggled to score for much of Game 6, shooting 36.5 percent from the floor. Their 14 assists tied for the second fewest in a single game this season. When the Hawks did have success, it was when they moved the ball. The Hawks recorded 10 of their 14 assists when they completed two or more passes.
The Bulls kept Atlanta off balance in the offensive half court for much of...Read Full Story

We argue. You decide.
CARLOS BOOZER
Carlos Boozer is a beast. Attitude; toughness; well-manicured beard; he has it all. Say what you will about his injury problems and his “conniving” ways (refer to Cavs ‘04), the dude can flat-out play. Having been groomed by arguably the best two coaches in basketball history for the majority of his career — Mike Krzyzewski with Duke/USA Basketball, Jerry Sloan in Utah — Boozer was molded into the disciplined, hard-nosed...Read Full Story
I’ve been patient with him since he’s been injured (missed the last 21 games) but now he’s going to have surgery and I want production now. ESPN says keep him on reserve but I don’t know what to do. If I do drop him I will pick up Kenyon Martin and wait for Chris Kaman [...]Read Full Story
On a lighter note, Van Gundy, who publicly called out Carlos Boozer's vote to the All-Defensive team on national television, reiterated his disdain for whomever voted for the Bulls' forward to be on the team.
"Listen, as an entire nation, not basketball lovers, but as an entire nation we have to look into voter fraud," Van Gundy said. "We have to look into making a mockery of our system. Because he wouldn't make second team All-Defense on...
Carlos Boozer has been a lightning rod of controversy since he landed in Chicago, from tripping over a gym bag before his first season even started, to turning into a fade-away jump shooter instead of the banger the Bulls thought they were getting.
Despite having a much better year two than year one in Chicago, it's no secret that Bulls fans still want Carlos Boozer gone. He hasn't exactly endeared himself to Chicagoans who've come to admire, respect and also expect true grit from their professional ...
Luol Deng was voted onto to the NBA’s All-Defensive Second Team on Wednesday, but that’s not what Chicagoans were tweeting about. Rather, it was that Carlos Boozer received one vote. The team is chosen by NBA head coaches, and they are not ...
"Derrick Rose? Cool!" you excitedly respond ... As some random guy on Twitter said: "Carlos Boozer wouldn't make second-string All-Defense on his own team." SBN Chicago editor Ricky O'Donnell just messaged me while writing this to point out ...
