A week ago today , we were speculating as to whether or not Hall of Fame Chicago Bulls head coach Billy Donovan’s tenure might be coming to a close with a few more losses. That seemed like a legit possibility, given the class of club Chicago had fallen to amid a brutal stretch wherein the team dropped eight of nine games. Instead, the Bulls beat up on a pair of Eastern Conference playoff hopefuls, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks, building a surprise three-game win streak . Chica...

It appears two-time All-Star Bulls center Nikola Vucevic has recovered from a concerning recent dip in production. Prior to this past week’s two surprising home-and-home wins against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Vucevic averaged just 11.6 points on a .387/.304/.600 slash line, plus 6.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.6 steals per. Chicago head coach Billy Donovan responded to his dismal output and disinterested defense with a quicker hook than usual; Vucevic wound up averaging a modest-for-him 27...

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a decent NBA franchise for some time now, with the normal dips you expect, but when Ted Stepien owned the team from 1980-83, the Cavaliers made so many disastrous moves that the league ultimately put in a rule to restrict just how teams could trade draft picks. It became known […]

What a wild week and a half it’s been for the Chicago Bulls. They’ve gone from a seven-game losing streak to winning three of their last four, with a chance to keep it rolling tonight. Watching the Bulls convincingly beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in a mini two-game set has given their fans a serious “déjà vu” moment. Not a flashback to the ’90s or the 2010s, but to earlier this season, when Chicago opened the year on an out-of-character five-game winning streak and briefly scared the East ...

Despite a quiet night from second-year forward Matas Buzelis , the Chicago Bulls may have saved their season by winning their first of two home-and-home encounters against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday with a 127-111 blowout United Center victory . Chicago improved to a still-bad 11-15 record on the year. The game was fairly even through most of the first half, but the Bulls’ scoring off turnovers, some tenacious zone defense and some tactical big man rotation tweaks helped the tea...

I know, I know—the Chicago Bulls just beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, and we need to actually find the one piece we need to become contenders (sarcasm). But unfortunately, despite a big win, the Bulls are still on a bit of a cliff dive, and with a potentially stacked 2026 NBA Draft class on the horizon, it’s time to start searching for the light at the end of this dark tunnel. The best way to do that? Understand what the Chicago Bulls need, what this draft class brings, and dive into colleg...

There couldn’t have been a better way to kick off my first-ever Chicago Bulls post-game breakdown on Bleacher Nation. A night of good coaching, a synergistic team performance, record-setting stats, and a Josh Giddey revenge arc against the team that put him in an ankle brace. What more could you ask for? I can already hear the keyboards clicking about how a win like this keeps the Bulls in NBA purgatory. But a performance this dominant and connected, against a decent Cleveland Cavaliers t...
