The opposing team is the one suffering issues. | Chicago Bulls

What to Watch For •   Victor Oladipo will make his Rockets debut tonight, which means I’m sure he is (1) hungry to start things off on a good note and (2) super happy he’s playing the Bulls. The former-Pacers star has found nothing but success against the Bulls in recent history (has averaged 20.0ppg against them in his career), and with John Wall sidelined tonight, he will have every opportunity to hurt them yet again. •   Big man Christian Wood is on a path toward stardom. He is c...

Ugh. | Chicago Bulls

An @emoryhealthcare injury report for tomorrow’s game (2/2): K. Dunn (cartilage disruption, right knee): Out O. Okongwu (inflammation, sesamoid bone, left foot): Out R. Rondo (health and safety protocols): Out T. Snell (inflammation, cuboid bone, right foot): Out pic.twitter.com/C4n5CL22h6 What to Watch For •   What is the rotation? Billy Donovan did not have a fully healthy roster to experiment with during the preseason, and the head coach has no other choice but to use his meaningful ga...

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Kansas men’s basketball players Kelly Oubre Jr., and Andrew Wiggins will be part of the first official game of the 2020-21 NBA season Tuesday, Dec. 22, while defending champion Markieff Morris plays against his twin brother Marcus Morris in the second game of the night. There are 11 Jayhawks on 2020-21 NBA opening-day rosters. The 11 KU players on NBA rosters ties for the fourth most among NCAA Division I schools. Oubre and Wiggins play for the Golden State Warriors and wil...

What to Watch For •   Tonight is the final preseason game before the Bulls tip-off the regular season against the Atlanta Hawks on December 23rd. What that means is they can either (1) go balls to the wall and start Cristiano Felicio at point guard or (2) play this thing as close to a regular-season contest as possible. Don’t get me wrong, I still suspect the Bulls will watch their player’s minutes carefully, but this is a good opportunity for the team to try out what they think would w...

Getty Images Billy Donovan stepped on the wooden court at Chesapeake Energy Arena, it was memorable. Coaching the Thunder at the time, Donovan’s team was set to take on the visiting Jazz, but the sporting world was about to change that March 11 night. Jazz big man Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus, forcing the NBA to cancel that game, which triggered the domino effect that became a leaguewide shutdown.

Balancing Offense v. Defense, Making a COVID-Free Trip to OKC Today, LaVine Disrespect, and Other Bulls Bullets Seeing NBA highlights across my social media timeline again feels like putting on a sweater right after it comes out of the dryer – so damn good. •   Bulls fans far and wide would probably agree that, if forced to pick, the team has more potential on the offensive side of the ball. I would agree with that assessment. I trust the Bulls backcourt defense as much as I trust Pinocch...
