Paxson: Bulls' health on the rebound

2013-06-10 13:36:00

The Chicago Bulls finally are getting healthy. Unfortunately, their next game isn't until preseason for the 2013-14 season. Speaking at the groundbreaking for their new practice facility adjacent to the United Center, team management said Derrick Rose...

Paxson: Rose will return 'better and stronger'

2013-05-27 13:38:00

John Paxson says Derrick Rose received unfair criticism for not returning to action this season and believes the Chicago Bulls star will benefit from the work he did on his body during his time away. Paxson, the Bulls' executive vice president of...

Arison insists 2014 remains an abstract

2013-06-01 09:07:00

�� To recap: The Miami Heat lose Game 4 against the Indiana Pacers and ESPN is reporting on possible Chris Bosh offseason trades. A day later, LeBron James goes through an extended stretch of individual brilliance and dares to compare the Game 5 moment to...

Nice playoff run hardly answers all questions surrounding Bulls

2013-05-11 17:23:00

For pure entertainment, the Bulls have delivered as much compelling drama in the playoffs as anything Chicago's theater district has to offer. "The Book of Mormon" has nothing on "The Gospel According to Thibs." They captured the imagination of a city...

Basketball, Phil Jackson style

2013-05-16 00:00:00

Growing up in Englewood and blossoming into NBA superstardom beyond Chicago, Derrick Rose always could count on older brother Reggie to protect him from everything. So when Reggie Rose does something that potentially harms Derrick, even if only his...

Bulls wise not to trade Deng

2012-06-28 21:13:00

Luol Deng indeed found himself on the move during the NBA draft. But where Deng was headed, I suspect the Bulls forward focused more on the exchange rate than trade rumors. Deng spent Thursday night flying to London to prepare for the Olympics, and jolly...

Coach clearly not in sync with players and management

2012-11-27 21:46:00

Take the observational layup and agree with the Chicago consensus that coach Tom Thibodeau stubbornly sticking with his starters Monday night in a game in which the Bulls blew a 27-point lead reinforces how little he values his reserves. More tellingly,...

My favorite is the culmination of the struggle, beating the Lakers in L.A., winning the title after everybody said he wouldn't beat the Lakers.
