With the biggest changes this off-season revolving around the second unit of the Chicago Bulls, I’m going to take you down a journey of comparing and contrasting last year’s Bench Mob, to this years “most likely to end up overseas in a few years” crew. The Kirk Hinrich vs. CJ Watson debate is about as positive as this article is going to get. Plagued by injuries for the past year, Captain Kirk (Boy does it ever feel good to say… Continue reading
Earlier this year, I wrote a column called Bench Mob Survivor, taking a look at who should stay… and who should go. Little did I know that the whole second unit would be irradicated in order to make room for the highly-touted, superstar player Kirk Hinrich. I would express my distaste for this a little more, but I think it’s been beaten to death. It’s time now to reminisce and look back at the high’s and low’s of Ronnie Brewer and… Continue reading
If some famous playwright hadn’t come up with the title “The Summer of My Discontent” first, I’m sure a Bulls fan would have. This week in Bulls action includes the death of the infamous bench mob, the re-arrival of Kirk Hinrich and some tidbits surrounding the never-ending quest for a shooting guard. CJ Watson and Ronnie Brewer’s options expired quietly this past Wednesday, as there was little surprise to the knowledge that these two will not be dawning Chicago jerseys… Continue reading
In what’s been an off-season full of mind-boggling signings, constant Dwight-drama and shocking announcements, the Chicago Bulls front office has decided to do… nothing. Well, not nothing. They did drop CJ Watson for Kirk Hinrich. Even as a huge Hinrich advocate, it was a minor upgrade at best. This brings me to the theme of this week’s column. I’m assuming most of you have watched Saturday Night Live’s “Really?” segment with Seth Meyers. If you haven’t, get on YouTube and do so, because it’s… Continue reading
With the off-season in full swing, the Bulls have a lot of things to assess and a lot of hefty decisions to make. Dominating this week’s Bulls round-up will be the draft selection of Marquis Teague and the status of Omer Asik as a free agent. Last week, Chicago kept the 29th pick in the draft and decided to select former Kentucky guard and NCAA champion, Marquis Teague. While the reaction to this selection has been mixed, I couldn’t be… Continue reading
After Carlos Boozer’s performance this past post-season, which was nothing short of terrible, the majority of Bulls fans have began to lose hope in his ability to help the Bulls win a championship. The suggestions have ranged from using the amnesty provision on his contract, giving Taj Gibson the starting role to staying put until the next off-season. The Bulls did go 50 – 16 with Carlos Boozer this season, after all. When it comes to statistics, Carlos Boozer beats Taj… Continue reading
As the orchestrator of the Bulls infamous Bench Mob, CJ Watson had a season full of ups and downs mostly due to nagging injuries to him and Derrick Rose. Now that he’s closed the Bulls season shut after making one of the most dumb-founded passes in the history of basketball, it’s time to break down the 2011-2012 season for CJ Watson. Watson started off the lockout-shortened season on a strong note, shooting 46% from the three-point line through out the first thirteen games… Continue reading

The Bulls and Heat will be squaring off for the second time this season at 9:30 PM ET. This marks the first time that Lebron James and the Miami Heat will step foot in to the United Center since their miraculous comeback during Game 5 of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals. The last time these two teams faced off, the Bulls lost in a close one. Lebron James’ 35 point double double and the lack of bench production from both… Continue reading
