Unwritten Rules Violation, Injuries Continue to Pile Up, Back Under .500, and Other Bulls Bullets

One of these days, we’ll finally get through a week without losing games or players to injuries. Today is not one of those weeks for the Chicago Bulls. After another disappointing result against the Charlotte Hornets, Chicago is back under .500, and with the roster getting thinner by the day, they’re probably going to stay there for a while. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. LaMelo Ball, brother of former Bulls IR resident Lonzo Ball, finished with 17 points, seven assists, six rebounds...

Matas’ Dunk of the Year! Root Cause of Star Injuries, Big Bench Production, And Other Bulls Bullets

Playing in their 22nd clutch game of the season (per KC Johnson of Chicago Sports Network ), Chicago capitalized on some critical late Paolo Banchero mistakes to best the Orlando Magic, 121-114, on Friday night — the first in a back-to-back set of home bouts. The Bulls are back to a .500 record (17-17) with the win, and now will look to notch its third straight home victory sans its two best players on Saturday night, against the Charlotte Hornets. He’s There When It Matas! Bulls 1...

Open Thread: Chicago Bulls eliminate midrange shots from their strategy

This caught my eye: “The midrange is officially extinct. Look at this Bulls shot chart from Dec 21, 2025. They took 0 midrange jumpers the entire game. there is absolutely nothing between the paint and the three-point line. This wasn’t random variance. It was a deliberate offensive choice.” I don’t know about you, but the […]

2026 NBA Mock Draft: Cameron Boozer Chases NCAA History

As the 2026 NBA Draft approaches, several clubs are angling for that top pick. But whose name will be called with the pick is still a matter of some debate. So let’s run through some of our options with a good, old-fashioned 2026 NBA Mock Draft. The 15-16 Chicago Bulls continue to hover along the periphery of the 2026 NBA Draft lottery. Chicago is a bit more hapless than its record appears. The Bulls are loaded with expiring contracts at key positions of need, and the team’s front of...

Open Thread: How Luke Kornet hit rock bottom and rebuilt himself in time to enjoy the NBA

From a Spurs point of view, Luke Kornet is an excellent fit. A rim protector with pick-and-roll capabilities, his connections with Stephon Castle (aptly nicknamed “White Castle”) supply crowd-pleasing dunks. Last season, when Victor Wembanyama was sidelined with deep vein thrombosis, the Spurs took a hit. Zach Collins had been traded to the Chicago Bulls […]

Timberwolves 136, Bulls 101: Big Jelly Buckets

After an ugly loss to the Brooklyn Nets where the Minnesota Timberwolves lacked energy for much of the game and dropped one to a team that has been playing well in the month of December. This marked their second straight loss after the thriller late on Christmas Day. This game kicks off a four-game road […]

Giddey and Coby Injured! Timberwolves 136, Bulls 101 – December 29, 2025

I turned on the game tonight expecting either a tough win or a big loss — nothing in between. But losing Josh Giddey and Coby White was not the kind of collateral I expected the Bulls to take on. The only silver lining to a blowout loss is that it lets me get this article out a little faster. First Half: Coby White OUT! Not the prettiest of starts for either the Bulls or the Timberwolves. It felt like there was a lid on the rim. Chicago opened just 1-for-10 on their first 10 shots an...

Pre-Gamin’: Bulls vs Timberwolves (7:00 PM CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More

The 15-16 Chicago Bulls find themselves in the midst of a 1-1 homestand so far, with four games left on their United Center slate this week before they hit the road again. On Monday night, the trick-or-treat Bulls will look to return to a .500 record as they host one of the West’s best, the 20-12 Minnesota Timberwolves. Josh Giddey , now clearly Chicago’s best player, will look to build on his campaign for his first All-Star bid this season with another big night. Fresh off inking a ...

Editor-in-chief mailbag: That was not a very good week

Last week, I posed the question — are the Sixers good? Well, in the time since, the team dropped three straight games to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder. They’ve started a season-long, five-game road trip 0-2 (and the next three games are no picnic) and have a 16-14 record, which is […]

Sixers hang tough early in OKC, but reigning champs dominate second half

Well, that’s why you need to beat the Nets and the Bulls. The Oklahoma City Thunder handed the Sixers their third loss in a row when they fell 129-104 Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey slowed down after a brilliant first quarter, leading the Sixers with 28 points, five assists and four steals shooting 10-of-18 from the […]

Giannis Rage Bait, Vučević Throws Shade, Chicago Deadline Sellers? and Other Bulls Bullets

It was fun while it lasted. I’ve snapped back to reality, ope, there goes Chicago’s five-game win streak. Last night, in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Bulls slipped back under .500, and the way the game ended left a bitter taste. But hey, we’re back at it on Monday. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. The Bulls lost 112–103 on the second night of a back-to-back, falling to a Milwaukee Bucks team that welcomed back its star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, for the first time since December 3. ...

Rapid Recap: Bucks 112, Bulls 103

Giannis Antetokounmpo came back from an eight-game absence with a calf strain, helping the Milwaukee Bucks snap the Chicago Bulls’ five-game win streak at the United Center. The Greek Freak had 29 while Ryan Rollins stepped up in key moments to finish with 20. No Bull had more than Nikola Vucevic and Coby White, each […]

Pre-Gamin’: Bulls vs Bucks (7:00 PM CT) – Projected Lineups, How to Watch, More

The Chicago Bulls are the hottest team in the NBA. That’s a combination of words I never thought I’d put together after their recent seven-game losing streak — which came right on the heels of a five-game skid. Yet here we are. The Bulls are tied for the longest win streak in the league, and yes, I’m counting it that way because the Spurs did lose to the New York Knicks in the NBA Cup final, whether that officially hits the record books or not. Tonight, Chicago faces their division r...

A Greek Freak Return, Josh Giddey Hurt, Paw Out of the Rotation, and Other Bulls Bullets

The trick-or-treat Chicago Bulls delivered a post-Christmas miracle late Friday night. Chicago used a 13-2 closing run to pull away at home against the Philadelphia 76ers and secure their fifth straight victory, 109-102 . The Bulls had trailed by as many as 11 points. It marked their second five-game win streak of the season and returned Chicago to a .500 record on the year (15-15). The Bulls ended the night on a 10-0 kick, keyed by this emphatic Jalen Smith flush over an exhausted-l...

Roster turnover defined the Wizards’ 2025 calendar year

The year 2025 is coming to a close in less than a week. And yesterday’s Washington Wizards win got me thinking for a second because they beat the Toronto Raptors soundly, 138-117 with Kyshawn George having a big night. Back on Jan. 1, 2025, the Washington Wizards hosted the Chicago Bulls and won, 125-107. It […]

2026 NBA Mock Draft: Dybantsa Over Peterson? Bulls (Almost) Out of the Lottery!

There are 363 days until next Christmas, but only 22 weeks and 3 days until a gift basketball fans really love arrives — the 2026 NBA Draft. However, it’s always NBA Mock Draft season. And, with conference play set to tip off in college basketball, now is a great time to take a closer look at the players who have already been shining and building real draft buzz. The top three prospects — AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cam Boozer — feel basically locked in, but picks 4 through 30 are w...

Milwaukee Bucks vs. Chicago Bulls Preview & Game Thread: Mid recognizes mid

The Milwaukee Bucks travel to the Chicago Bulls tonight for an epic play-in battle that may feature one Giannis Antetokounmpo. The “rivalry” series started at the Fiserv Forum last month with the Bucks emerging victorious. We’ll see if history repeats itself; it’s been a tale of two offenses recently, with the Bulls (2nd) overpowering the […]
