Posted in Usually when I or any of the other correspondents here at Slam Dunk Central write about the Los Angeles Lakers, the discussion usually revolves around four players: Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and on occasion Lamar Odom. The aforementioned four are what make the Lakers who they are. That doesn’t minimize the rest of Los Angeles’ [...]

Rose Sparks Late Rally, Bulls Edge Nuggets 94-92
As good as Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose is, even he can struggle at times. During Monday night’s game between the Bulls and Denver Nuggets at the United Center, Rose had problems making his shot for three quarters. Unfortunately for the Nuggets, Rose saved his best for last as he scored eight points in [...]
Garnett Defensive Stop Pushes Celtics Past Bulls 110-105 In OT
Arguably the best game of the ESPN doubleheader Friday had to be the tilt between the Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics. I say that only because the network’s broadcasters at the game included Jeff Van Gundy. Don’t get me wrong here, the game itself was excellent. But to have to listen to Jeff Van Gundy pontificate [...]
Knicks Dial Long Distance, Bomb Bulls 120-112
The New York Knicks, by and large courtesy of coach Mike D’Antoni, are a team that at times resembles some of the Western Conference teams on offense. That usually goes against the grain in the NBA because usually teams in the Eastern Conference are more defensive-minded than their Western Conference counterparts, with very few exceptions. [...]
Durant, Westbrook Combine for 58 As Thunder Shocks Bulls 106-95

Two teams that are on the rise, the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder had their season opener on Wednesday, hoping to build on their momentum and make a statement along the way. What [...]
Rose, Noah Help Bulls Vault Into Playoffs; Tame Bobcats 98-89
Forget about the injuries to Derrick Rose earlier in the season. You may as well forget about the well-documented internal strife within the Chicago Bulls’ front office. While those distractions often will decimate lesser clubs, the Bulls were determined not to let it affect them as they took on the Charlotte Bobcats Wednesday night at Time [...]
Magic Cruises Past Bulls 111-82, Rose Hurt
The Chicago Bulls ran into some major bad luck as they visited Amway Arena to take on the Orlando Magic Thursday night. They shot poorly both from the floor (40%) and from the charity stripe (63%). But perhaps the worst thing to happen was the loss of Derrick Rose in the first quarter when he [...]
Gibson Leads Bulls’ Balanced Attack, Drub Pacers 104-95
I am pretty sure you’ve heard the expression, “You only get one chance to make a good first impression.” Or something along that line. In any case, that certainly applied to the Chicago Bulls’ first-round draft pick Taj Gibson as they visited Conseco Fieldhouse to take on the Indiana Pacers Friday night. If his performance [...]
