Let the Countdown Begin: Can Vinny Del Negro Make It To Christmas?
Posted: 8th December 2009 by Josh Herman in NBA
It's that time of year again.
Houses are lighting up, presents are gathering under trees, and a Bulls head coach is on the hot seat.
If ever there was a Scrooge in the NBA, you might as well give the label to the Bulls front office.
In 2001, Tim Floyd resigned on Christmas Eve, citing that it was best for himself and his family to leave, although it was said that there was ...
Every year the circus comes to Chicago,áand thatámeans an annual roadtrip for both the Bulls and Blackhawks.
And every year it seems as if both teams find themselves struggling while clowns and trapeze artists fill the United Center with laughs and cheers.
Well another season andáanother disappointment, at least for one of the Chicago teams.
While the Blackhawks have continued their hot home-stand (4-0 prior to the Circus Trip) with three straight victories ...

Now it seems like the Bulls will be asking much more of the Bulls second pick in the 2009 NBA draft.
Thomas fractured a bone in his arm while lifting weights Friday morning and will miss four ...
Joakim Noah was a great college basketball player. á He was a high energy, ball-hawking, crowd favorite who always brought his best in big games. Not only did he and University of Florida teammates Al Horford, Corey Brewer, and Taurean Green win the championship in 2006, they surpassed high draft statuses (Noah most notably) to come back and repeat in '07. á Still, for every Tim Duncan and Dwyane Wade, ...
