I know, it was probably wrong of me to expect the Chicago Bulls to defend and beat one of the best offenses in the NBA. Especially one where Chicago is staring at two massive mismatches in LeBron James and Luka Dončić. That blind faith came at a cost, paid in full by a Dončić stat line that definitely padded his season averages.
Chicago had chances late to make things interesting, but in my opinion, it was too little, too late.

Luka Dončić poured in 46 points and the Lakers put together one of their better defensive performances of the season as they knocked off the Bulls in Chicago, 129-118. LA shot 56.1% from the field and 16-33 from the 3-point line. Defensively, they forced 15 turnovers, 12 in the first half, turning it into 23 […]

The 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend is heading to the sunny beach town of Los Angeles this year. And despite how well Josh Giddey played this season, it looked like the Bulls wouldn’t have any representation. Or so we thought, until the NBA announced Matas Buzelis as a participant in the Rising Stars Game, which takes place on All-Star Friday.
This will be Matas Buzelis’ second appearance in the Rising Stars Game as a Chicago Bull after playing on Team Mitch last season. However it’s important ...

Coby White finally looks like Coby White again! The 6-foot-4 Chicago Bulls combo guard has had a rough first half of the season, missing 21 bouts mostly due to a lingering calf strain.
His 3-point shooting seemed to take the biggest hit in the offing. Prior to last week, the North Carolina product had been connecting on a low-for-him 31.3 percent shooting on 6.6 takes from distance.
But he fully turned things around last week.
The league at large noticed, and White finished as a...

Our 23-22 Chicago Bulls have quietly pieced together a four-game win streak, despite being without best player Josh Giddey for two of those victories. Tonight, they’ll look to extend that run to five straight against the visiting Los Angeles Lakers (27-17), who come in in having gone just 4-6 over their last 10 contests.
On the court, the Lakers have looked anything but defensive. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for their image off the court. LA has been mired in some off-court cont...

Riding a wave of good vibes thanks to an ongoing four-game win streak and the fun of Derrick Rose ‘s jersey retirement celebration, the Chicago Bulls face a tough test this week. The Bulls are set to play five games in seven nights, including two back-to-back slates. Three of those games will be played against the frisky Miami Heat.
For whatever reason, Billy Donovan has kept Josh Giddey on the bench during his two games back from a hamstring strain, rather than offering up a quicker hook...

How was your weekend, Chicago?
Cold, snowy weather mixed with a surprisingly lively—and happy—Chicago Bulls weekend. It’s kind of wild to think that the Bulls still hold the longest active winning streak in the East, are sitting above .500, and we just watched Derrick Rose get his jersey retired. There haven’t been many stretches like this lately as a Bulls fan, so we’ll take it, and hope to keep it rolling tonight.

UPDATE: The Lakers did, in fact, make it out of Dallas, getting through half the battle, at least. The team took off from Dallas-Fort Worth instead of Love Field, allowing them to get out of Dallas when the Mavericks could not. This doesn’t mean the Lakers-Bulls go is definitely on for Monday, but it does […]

Happy Sunday, Bulls fans!
And for the first time in a while, I genuinely mean happy.
The euphoria of the win. The elation of Derrick Rose’s speech. The contentment of his jersey retirement. And the pure glee of sitting down to write this article. Did I miss any synonyms?

It’s been a pretty incredible week at the United Center. It started on Monday night with Jonathan Toews ‘ return and the incredible reception from Blackhawks fans. Last night, the Bulls beat the Celtics on a jumper with 0.2 seconds left and then put Derrick Rose’s number in the rafters . At some point later this season, the Blackhawks will host a ceremony to formally induct Duncan Keith and Steve Larmer into the team’s Hall of Fame. Who knows… maybe someday they’ll put 28 where it belongs in t...

Frustrated All-Stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant have been the subject of trade chatter all year. Now, they’re both going to be hurt through this season’s impending Feb. 5 trade deadline. So how will their new injuries affect the NBA at large — and our Chicago Bulls in particular — with trade season in full swing?
Antetokounmpo, a 10-time All-Star power forward, appears to be trapped on a doomed 18-26 Milwaukee Bucks roster that lacks control over most of its future draft picks an...

Chicago Bulls vets Coby White , Nikola Vučević , Zach Collins , and Kevin Huerter have all been prime candidates to be moved ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, yet with less than two weeks to go, even the faintest whispers are starting to feel more like wishful thinking than certainty.
