"Because the Bulls played well and snapped their eight-game losing streak Friday night in Milwaukee," John Jackson of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES writes, "coach Scott Skiles decided to stick with the same starting lineup -- Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Michael Sweetney and Othella Harrington -- for Saturday night's...

First off, thanks to Mike for handling the game threads over the weekend. Bet you didn't even notice, I'll be damned if we're not seamlessly integrated over here at Blogabull. Dallas is likely the 3rd best team in the NBA, albeit a tier below San Antonio and Detroit (who... Link
So the Bulls finally get back to the United Center after playing eight of their last nine games on the road (where they went a respectable 5-4) and come home to a red hot (then) 12-2 Pistons club. Who would have expected the Bulls to come out on fire... Link
With a loss last night the Bulls dropped to 3-4, which isn’t terrible but is good enough for last place in the strong Central. But even before the loss last night coach Scott Skiles was talking about shaking up his starting lineup, and he just might follow through with... Link
Luol Deng scored 21 points and Kirk Hinrich added 19 points and 11 assists to lead the Chicago Bulls over the Utah Jazz 103-98 Saturday night Mehmet Okur had a career-high 33 points and 17 rebounds for Utah, which played most of the game without Andrei Kirilenko after he... Link
It’s nearly impossible to define the “typical” small forward. Some are long-range bombers, some excel at crashing the boards. Others are defensive whizzes. Taken early, your small forward will determine how some of your late picks turn out. Taken late, a small forward can really fill a need –... Link
Luol Deng is in the UK running camps, rubbing elbows with soccer celebrities, and giving the NBA a good name. In an article by Mark Woods in The Scotsman, Deng has them starting to think the unthinkable: maybe one day...... Link
76ers sign Randolph, Gai by Associated Press Philadelphia 76ers: The Philadelphia 76ers signed undrafted free agents Shavlik Randolph and Deng Gai on Friday. Randolph, a 6-foot-10 forward, played in 92 career games with Duke and averaged 6.3 points and 4.3 rebounds. He also averaged 1.4 blocks...... Link
While the analysis provided via the link below doesn’t serve up anything revelatory, it can be easily argued that doing so would be somewhat impossible at this stage considering the moratorium (vocabulary word of the day) has not yet ended. Mr. McGovern does provide the following nugget of advice... Link
Consider this a tale of two cities (and three players). In one city, Charlotte, you have the future rookie of the year in Emeka Okafer. He’s put up solid numbers — PER of 15.85, scoring 16.4 points per 40 minutes, has an impressive rebound rate of 17.3 (percent of... Link
Bulls guard Chris Duhon said he saw the team bus pull away and immediately called former college teammate Luol Deng, who was on it. "He was like, 'You better get a taxi,'" Duhon said. Duhon arrived 30 minutes after the...... Link
First off, I have to comment on the Heat-Nets game, since it was the only one on “broadcast” TV… that’s right - no cable for me. I might have been tempted to go to a sports/alcohol venue to view the remaining games of the evening, but it’s Sunday, and... Link

Thanks For PlayingThe Nets wonderful "end of the season run" will itself end once they get run over by Shaq Diesel. Being a Knick fan, I'm just not big on resting all your hopes on an injured shooting guard coming back to the rescue. Even if Jefferson were healthy,... Link

I've been seeing what all the "professional writers" are saying... and since fantasy basketball is pretty much over, I thought I'd continue my coverage of basketball in a more general sense... Here's my thoughts on the playoffs: First of all, I'm very excited. This playoffs looks to be one... Link
Lets pretend that game against the Rockets didn't happen. And especially forget that I paid to go. Besides, if I would've known that Roche had already unknowingly sabotaged the Bulls effort, I wouldn't have gone. (Wear your lucky Bulls hat next time!) But what I can't disregard was seeing... Link
Well, I'm back, thanks for all the well-wishes. They all, in their unique way, affirmed my suspicion that I'm a huge dork. The Bulls are still looking like less of a force without Luol Deng in the lineup, losing a close one at San Antonio and collapsing in Milwaukee... Link
Boy, this was a rough weekend. There were tons of little injuries and flare-ups, and huge warning signs all over the place. One league of mine, which generally sees about 5 or 6 moves in a weekend, had 13 separate waiver wire transactions involving 22 players on Saturday and... Link
The Best Things in Life are Free (Throws) OK, you might as well face it. If you own a guy like Shaq or Tim Duncan, you're going to need major help in the free throw department. Duncan went 11-24 from the stripe over the weekend, including an incredible 5-14... Link
