Bulls Fans Should Be Careful Of What They Wish For With Phil Jackson
Posted: 25th May 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
When sources announced Monday night that the Chicago Bulls were reaching out to Phil Jackson to see if he had any interest in rejoining his old franchise, fans immediately had visions of MJ, Scottie and Phil and the six championship rings they brought the city of Chicago.
But instead of examining the acquisition, said fans rose in a drunken stupor to salute the fact that with Phil the team and city ...
Cavaliers-Bulls: Sorry Chicago, LeBron James Is Just That Good
Posted: 25th April 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
It was cute when the Chicago Bulls played the most competitive first-round playoff series last season against the reigning-champion Boston Celtics.
It was heart-warming to see the team fight hard to make a run and grab the final playoff spot this season.
And it was even nice seeing them win a home game against the top-seeded Cavaliers Thursday night.
But Sunday came and awoke the Bulls from dreamland, bringing them back to the reality that is LeBron ...
When a team has a roller coaster season like the one the Chicago Bulls had this season, consistency is usually what is lacking. For this team, however, there has always been one constant: effort. You can chalk it up to their youth or to Joakim Noah's win-at-all-cost attitude, but whatever it is, it's giving a national audience (and certain big names that'll be looking for a new home come ...
Carlos Zambrano on the Move…to The Chicago Cubs Bullpen
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Josh Herman in MLB
Carlos Zambrano was one of the many names this offseason that was being passed around as possible trade bait. Now it looks like he'll be making a move...internally. According to the Chicago Tribune's Paul Sullivan, Zambrano will be moving to the bullpen to accommodate the return of injured pitcher Ted Lilly. Carlos Silva, the man who was seemingly destined for the ...
When Push Comes To Shove: The End of the Road for Vinny Del Negro
Posted: 14th April 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
When hiring someone with little-to-no experience, one has to expect an open mind and cooperation from the new hiree. Usually a company will try to mold the fresh face to their liking, hence the advantage of hiring someone with no experience. So maybe it was his unexpected hiring, his mediocre .500 first season, or his team's remarkable showing in last year's playoff series against the Celtics that made Chicago ...
Resilient Chicago Bulls Find Themselves Playing for Final Playoff Spot
Posted: 9th April 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
The experts say that the style of basketball in the NBA consists of runs.
One team gets hot, scores 10, goes up six.
The other team scores six—tied game.
But what most experts don't talk about is the importance of runs during the course of the season. The Chicago Bulls, however, are getting a first-hand look at this phenomenon. After a solid .500 start to the season with wins against the ...
Luol Deng Welcomed Back by Chicago Bulls: Is It Too Little, Too Late?
Posted: 2nd April 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
Maybe it's the warm weather in Illinois. Maybe it's a full slate of night baseball games (albeit spring training) scheduled for tonight. Or maybe it's just the Washington Wizards. Whatever it is, I was excited to watch the Chicago Bulls tonight.
Sure, I've loved watching Flip Murray and Taj Gibson keep the Bulls close in most games while riding a 10-game losing streak against some of the best teams in the ...
Chicago Bulls: Recent Injuries Creating Opportunities for New/Young Players
Posted: 17th March 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
When the Chicago Bulls acquired Acie Law from the Bobcats (along with Flip Murray) for disgruntled power forward Tyrus Thomas, they probably weren't planning on the former Aggie getting much playing time.Then again, at that time, the team probably didn't think it'd be sitting in the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference, a game and a half behind the final playoff berth with only 16 games remaining, and stars Derrick ...
Chicago Bulls Might As Well Mail in Rest Of 2009-10 Season
Posted: 11th March 2010 by Josh Herman in NBA
The 2009-10 Chicago Bulls have had so many loops in their roller-coaster season that they're beginning to look like a Persian king. Too bad their play as of late has been rather pedestrian.
After dropping five straight—four of which were at home—the Bulls traveled to Orlando for a game on Thursday night and were ran out of Amway Arena 111-82 by a Magic team that is something that Chicago strives to be: a ...
Ben Roethlisberger’s Sexual Assault: The Latest Victim of Idiocy in Fame
Posted: 5th March 2010 by Josh Herman in NFL
Imagine this: You're a 17-year-old high school senior at Findlay (Ohio) High School. You're a captain of your school's football, basketball, and baseball teams.
You've never played quarterback, only to realize that with the recent departure of the coach's son and starting QB, you're forced to move from your natural positionùwide receiverùto something with just a little more responsibility.
Then after only one season at what many consider the most difficult ...
