Bulls exceed expectations in Rose’s absence

By Brian Earle | January 24, 2013

For all the talk about how bad the Bulls would be without star point guard Derrick Rose, they have exceeded peoples expectations. Rose has not seen any action this season as he has been recovering from a knee injury he suffered in the first round of the...

The Rant: Ripping into Rip

By Jimmy Johnson | April 4, 2012

It’s time to forget the notion Richard Hamilton is going to contribute for the Chicago Bulls.

I, for one, am waiting for a collage featuring Hamilton sitting on the Bulls’ bench holding his head up and sporting his egg white headband.

It’s funny how Hamilton was pegged as the acquisition to get the Bulls past the Miami Heat.

Instead, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade will likely blow past him if these two teams meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hamilton hasn’t been a huge disappointment, though, if you didn’t have pie-in-the-sky expectations for him.

Look at the facts: prior to joining the Bulls, Hamilton’s combined minutes from the regular season and playoffs was 32,580.

He’s old, beat up and with it being a condensed NBA season, he’s out of place.

The Bulls’ only chance to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy will come down to getting top-notch performances from Derrick Rose, Carlos Boozer, Joakim Noah and Luol Deng, and not from Mr. Glass.

The Rant: No bull in here

By Jimmy Johnson | April 17, 2011

Tyler Hansbrough's weak-attempt at the "Jordan Rule" on Derrick Rose didn't fly with Luol Deng. Bleedy-McShooty thought he could give Rose a bump in the lane and get away with it during the Saturday matinee between the Bulls and Pacers. Not until Deng...

The Rant: So sorry, Luol

By Jimmy Johnson | March 7, 2011

Luol Deng, oh how I thought I knew thee. I chastised the Chicago Bulls for signing you to a six-year, $71 million extension in summer of 2008. I questioned the severity of your "injury" in 2009 and thought it was just another example of you being a human...
