This Halloween, the New York Knicks (2-3) finished a three-game road trip with an Emirates Cup game against the Chicago Bulls (5-0). They started strong behind OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns, and zippy ball movement from Jalen Brunson and Mikal Bridges. Once Josh Giddey ignited Chicago’s offense, however, the Bulls sunk their teeth in and held […]

The Knicks and Bulls open their NBA Cup campaigns on opposite trajectories — New York looking to rebound from a shaky 2-2 start, and Chicago riding an unexpected 4-0 surge. The Knicks will need sharper shooting and better defensive focus to hand the Bulls their first loss, but Chicago’s balanced offense and elite perimeter defense […]

We’re about to find out if the Chicago Bulls are a trick or a treat. See what I did there?
Off to an impressive 4-0 start to begin the year, things are about to ramp up even more for this young and dynamic Bulls team. To be clear, they deserve credit for the squads they have taken down thus far. Detroit, Orlando, and Atlanta were seen as up-and-coming teams that were expected to finish well above Chicago in the standings. A win over a 1-4 Sacramento team may feel less worthy of praise, bu...

For the Chicago Bulls to start the season 4-0, they needed an unsung hero. Tre Jones has filled that role.
With Coby White sidelined to begin the year, head coach Billy Donovan needed someone he could trust to fill the hole in the starting lineup. He opted for Jones on opening night against the Detroit Pistons, and all the 25-year-old has done since is prove him right.
The guard has averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 assists, and 3.5 rebounds over his first four games of the season. While que...

Something about Matas Buzelis’ performance on Wednesday night felt poetic.
The franchise welcomed both Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan back into the United Center. The two multi-time All-Stars were once seen as pillars of an organization in win-now mode. Yet, their best season came in 2021-22 when they finished 46-36 and lost in a swift five games to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. This also happened to be the last time the team started 4-0, which happens to be the Chicago Bulls’ cu...

The Chicago Bulls keep turning heads.
Entering the season with their sights set largely on development, expectations for the organization were rather low. Many sportsbooks and analysts projected the team to finish with a win total in the low 30s, presumably ending their Play-In Tournament streak by missing the postseason altogether. To be sure, we can’t rule this out only four games into the regular season, but early indications are that the Bulls could be on the brink of their best seaso...

The menu this season consists of pumpkin mac & cheese, caramel apple pretzel bites, mummy meatballs, apple cider old fashioneds, and plenty more. Yet STILL, I’m always incredibly anxious about not having enough food. The only thing that wou...

Against the Ghosts of Chicago Bulls Past, Matas Buzelis looked eager to remind fans that the organization has entered a new era. The second year forward was in full attack mode from the jump, starting the night 3-4 from the field with 7 points in under 4 minutes of action.
His sense of urgency immediately showed the rest of his teammates how easy it would be to attack this Kings’ defense. The Bulls started to penetrate the paint with ease, scoring 16 of their first 27 points inside. The o...

The Chicago Bulls welcomed Zach LaVine back to the United Center with open arms on Wednesday night.
Returning to Chicago for the first time since he was traded away in February, the guard was met with plenty of cheers when his name was called during the Kings’ starting lineup introductions. The same went for DeMar DeRozan, who spent three years with the franchise before departing for Sacramento in the summer of 2024.
The Daily Herald’s Mike McGraw shared some footage of the moment … ...

One Golden State Warriors fan got into the Halloween spirit a little early.
During Tuesday night’s meeting with the Denver Nuggets at the Chase Center, the local broadcast crew spotted a familiar-looking fan in the stands. The cameras locked in on a man sporting a throwback Steve Kerr uniform from his time with the Chicago Bulls . They proceeded to show a full look at the fan’s backside, where the resemblance to the current Warriors head coach was uncanny .

The Chicago Bulls will welcome the Sacramento Kings into the United Center tonight, and I think we all know there is only one way that game will end …
A tie.
In all seriousness, few things would feel more Bulls than having your first loss of the 2025-26 season come against Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. The organization finally moved on from both over the last year-plus, paving the way for a new chapter of youthful and more well-rounded Bulls basketball. As strange as it is to say,...

The second installment of Michael Jordan’s exclusive interview with the NBA on NBC dropped Tuesday night.
In this week’s episode, Jordan shared his thoughts on “load management,” which has become a staple for teams over the past handful of years. Many organizations will intentionally rest their star talent in hopes of avoiding injury trouble and keeping their legs fresh. To little surprise, this trend has not sat well with the best to ever do it.
Jordan suited up for all 82 games nin...
