The Girlfriend and I were given some tickets to last night’s Milwaukee Bucks game, so rather than let those go to waste, we hit up the Fiserv Forum. We had a great time, no doubt, but I’d be lying if I said I could tell you what happened in that game. Like the obsessed man I am, I had the Bulls battle with the Celtics running on my phone practically the entire time. Sorry not sorry. •   So do you think the Bulls were happy to have fans back in the building? It was actually really kind o...

•   Yup, that’s right, Patrick Williams showed emotion. In the first quarter after sinking an off-balance and-one reverse layup, Williams appeared to leave the ground for a little awkward leap of glee. Maybe he thought he was far enough along the baseline where the cameras wouldn’t pick him up, but he was mistaken. The jig is up, Pat. We know you can feel happiness. •   Williams scored seven of the team’s first 17 points in their 120-99 win over the Hornets last night, all of whic...

Chicago Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine will likely miss another week in the NBAs health and safety protocols as the team fights for a spot in the play-in tournament, and hes not happy about it.

5. Vernon Carey Jr. Injury Report: Gordon Hayward OUT (foot), LaMelo Ball (wrist) OUT, Malik Monk OUT (ankle), Nate Darling OUT (ankle) What to Watch For … •   Another depleted opponent … another game I’m not sure which Bulls team will show up. After surprisingly beating Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown the Bulls decided to lay a massive egg against a Cavaliers team they beat by double digits only a couple of nights before. The first line of defense let Collin Sexton and Darius Garland c...

Waking up after a W >>>>> •   A win over the 20-36 Cleveland Cavaliers may not feel like anything special, but we’re also in no place to demean a victory. With or without LaVine on the floor, the team has not only lacked in execution but even more in effort. Last night, they finally broke free of that five-game losing streak downward spiral, shooting 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from 3-point range, and winning the turnover battle by a slim margin of 11-10. They looked ready to pl...

This is A LOT of change with very little time to process that change.

I’m as cool as a cucumber [drop of sweat slides down forehead]. I’m not at all worried about tonight’s matchup with the Orlando Magic [a couple of more drops appear]. I mean, come on, it’s not like Wendell Carter Jr. is going to have the game of his life or anything [sweat floods down face as coffee flies about due to uncontrollable quivering hand].  •   OK. FINE. YOU GOT ME … I’m a tiny bit scared of tonight’s game, guys. The Orlando Magic have lost six straight games and...

GO BULLS!

First things first, let’s appreciate Zach LaVine: •   I think this is something we all knew LaVine was capable of, but that didn’t make experiencing it any less special. The Atlanta Hawks literally had zero answers for LaVine, as he knocked down almost every kind of bucket in his repertoire during the first half alone. He hit pull-up 3’s, off-balance jumpers, mid-range fadeaways, acrobatic layups, and he got to the free-throw line for six attempts. It was a full-blown offensive showca...
