Hayes, Dolson Help Huskies Tame The Bulls 77-62
2012-01-28 23:26:00 The patented knockout run never came for the UConn Huskies women's basketball team on the run. The South Florida Bulls weren't going away. So something had to give. That something turned out to be the play of senior Tiffany Hayes. After scoring a career-high 35 points her last time out, Hayes was doing her best to outscore the Bulls in the second half. She ended up scoring 22 of her 33 points in the second half to help the Huskies beat the Bulls 77-62 in front of 13,627 at the XL Center in Hartford, CT on Saturday afternoon. With the win, the No. 3 Huskies improve to 19-2 (8-1 Big East). The Bulls fall to 12-10 (4-4). Hayes, who played all but one minute in the game, also added 10 rebounds, three assists and three steals. Stefanie Dolson had a great down in the post as she put up her first double-double of the season with 22 points and a career-high 18 rebounds. She also had three assists and three blocked shots. Despite a rough shooting afternoon, Bria Hartley had eight points, s...

Bulls' Luol Deng a cool customer in time of need
2012-01-11 14:35:00 As the Minnesota Timberwolves trailed 59-54 early in the second half, having all but erased the Chicago Bulls’ 24-point second-quarter lead, coach Tom Thibodeau’s bunch was in desperate need of a player who could step up and knock down a few shots to give them some breathing room.

Bulls coach not fretting over heavy minutes
2012-01-04 15:05:00 Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau is far from fretting over the heavy minutes accumulated by his team’s leading scorers, Derrick Rose and Luol Deng — both of whom played almost 45 minutes each during Tuesday’s stunning 76-74 victory over the Atlanta Hawks at the United Center — early in the season. Deng is averaging about... Read more »

Should Pit Bulls be banned in Chicago?

Rare Earth Metals Bears and Bulls: Anthony Alfidi
2011-12-20 21:30:00 The Critical Metals Report: In your Alfidi Capital investment research blog, you talked about the wild ride rare earth element (REE) prices had in 2010, as well their the general drop this year. What are you predicting for 2012? Anthony Alfidi: I believe rare earth elements prices will continue to fall. They had a run-up until this summer, primarily based on Chinese export restrictions and the enthusiasm that some speculators had for the sector. But those conditions are both absent now. I believe that economic fundamentals are weakening around the world and the resulting credit crunch will hurt trade, finance and manufacturing. Demand for rare earth elements is derived from demand for finished goods. Therefore, it’s very much dependent . . . → Read More: Rare Earth Metals Bears and Bulls: Anthony Alfidi

Five games to keep an eye on in Bulls' 2011-12 schedule
2011-12-07 06:11:00 It took the Bulls a couple months to find their stride on the road last season — and that was with a full 82-game slate. Coach Tom Thibodeau has to hope his team becomes comfortable away from the United Center awfully quick in 2011-12, because the Bulls will start the revised, 66-game regular-season with a...

They?ve Banned the Bulls At Barcelona. By Barry Pittard
2011-09-28 02:42:00 I have been working on this song - words and music - since yesterday. It sprang from seeing the news reports about the banning of bullfighting in Barcelona, Spain. The incident recalled a repeated discovery of prominent figures in confronting the Sathya Sai Organization. Namely, that when you fight a hard cause, you essentially have to fight it pretty well alone. The crowds may cheer or give thumbs down. But one has to focus on the proper work, and not the pro or anti roars of crowds. And of the disappearance of many people from whom one might have wished to see better. Whether one believes in bullfighting or this or that cause or not, the true pain and joy, those great inseparables, is in the deed, and facing it no less than the worthy matador or bull. Those who dare are too few, and would dare regularly if only they knew the sheer satisfaction of making a stand. My supposition is that the prime activists in the fight for animal rights have far more in common with the matadors t...

Bulls management making all the right moves
2011-06-28 16:54:00 It's hard to believe that just a few short years ago many were debating between picking eventual MVP Derrick Rose, and now bust Michael Beasley with the first pick in the draft. Fortunately, the Bulls made the correct choice by selecting hometown product Rose. And as much as I applaud that pick there are a few other moves that are turning the Bulls into a top class franchise. It has all started with the NBA draft. The Bulls have continued to stick to their guns and select players who have had success at the college level. Luol Deng, Joakim Noah, and Derrick Rose made deep runs into the NCAA torunament. The one big blip on the screen is the move that...
Chicago Bulls Shooting Guard Options - Free Agency or Trade?
2011-06-28 04:36:00 Assuming there will be a 2011-2012 NBA Season, the Chicago Bulls will most certainly be looking to bring in some veteran talent at the SG position. Options will exist through trade, and possibly through free agency depending upon the new CBA. The MLE (Mid Level Exception) is key to the Chicago Bulls being able to bring in a veteran through free agency. This CBA is so uncertain that no one knows if the MLE, a hard salary cap, or a flex cap will exist next season. For brevity sake, we will assume that the CBA will include a options for teams at the salary cap like the Chicago Bulls.Below are options through Free Agency and Trade that the Chicago Bulls...

Fire 1 Red Bulls 1 - Recap and Ratings
2011-06-27 05:17:00 At the half way point of the MLS season (17 games) the Fire have accumulated an incredible 11 draws. Only one short of tying the club record for draws in a season (12) set in 2009. They are only three ties away from equalling the MLS record for most deadlocks in a season as well. The record is 14 set by FC Dallas last season. That Dallas side drew 14 times in 30 matches but only lost 4 times during the regular season. The Fire currently stand at 2-4-11 on 17 points. Good enough to stay above only New England and Toronto FC in the Eastern Conference. After a generally uneventful and ineffective first half that saw New York enter the...

Fire v Red Bulls Match Preview
2011-06-25 21:28:00 The Fire and Red Bulls are coming off of mid week matches while looking at the prospect of playing another match on Tuesday in a hectic stretch for both sides. New York has one less day of recovery and has had to travel from the west coast which could play favorably into Chicago's favor. A 4-2 loss in Seattle on Thursday night was only a continuance of New York's problems on defense. The Red Bulls have not kept a clean sheet since April 30 while allowing 18 goals in the nine matches since that shut out at home against Sporting Kansas City. Their main issue has been remarkably bad set piece defending. Not only did they allow three goals from corner...

From what I've been able to dig up, he has a fixed buy out in 2015 of $1 million dollars, and Real Madrid will be willing to potentially sell him in 2014. I think 2014/15 season is the soonest he's going to make it here....
Bulls Draft: Smart, Not Spectacular
2011-06-25 13:00:00 In a typical NBA draft, there are about 15 or so players who will stay in the league longer than 5 years. Only a handful will become impact players. By all accounts, the 2011 draft class was an exceptionally weak one. So if you're the Bulls and you come in with the 28th, 30th and 43rd picks, you're expectations should be adjusted accordingly. The Bulls didn't find their shooting guard of the future, but then again, they didn't expect to....
Caring About the Bulls' Draft
2011-06-24 23:15:00 The Bulls' 2011 draft leaves little to be excited about. Trading up to pick Nikolo Mirotic at #23 and picking Jimmy Butler at #30 does little to improve the team in the short term, raising the point that trading for an NBA player would've been a more productive draft day.
Bulls: Complete 2011 Offseason Guide/Agenda/Prospectus
2011-06-24 20:25:00 Like we are currently seeing in the NFL, the 2011 NBA off-season is up in the air with a lockout looming. Free agency could be delayed and completely restructured depending on the new agreement reached by the owners and players. Still, The Sports Bank continues to break down all thirty NBA teams to see what areas they need to address in the off-season. The Chicago Bulls off coming off a 21-game improvement, had the league MVP in Derrick Rose, and nearly advanced to the NBA Finals before losing to the Miami Heat. So what can they do this off-season to get over the hump?...

Will Bulls Draft East Chicago Kid E'Twaun Moore?
2011-06-23 19:10:00 E'Twaun Moore grew up a Chicago Bulls fan. It's only natural since the 6-4, 191 pound three (he'll probably fit better at the two at the next level) is from East Chicago, IN. And there's a strong chance the hometown team could take the local kid. Moore worked out at the Berto Center (Bulls practice facility in Deerfield, IL) And what feedback did the Bulls give him? "Told me to be myself and try to get as strong as I can," Moore said. He said the feedback was similar to what he's heard from other franchises, but overall it varies from team to team....
Chicago Bulls 2011 NBA Draft: Exploring all the Options
2011-06-23 15:49:00 Due to a power outage in Deerfield, IL, the Chicago Bulls will move their NBA Draft headquarters and media event from the Berto Center practice facility to their home game arena the United Center. And due to a shooting/perimeter scoring outage in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Bulls had to move from the NBA postseason to their summer vacation. It's very rare that the team with the best regular season record in the NBA has three picks (two in the first round) the following June. And that means the Bulls will almost certainly not add three rookies to next year's roster meaning they have the luxury of 1.) going after an international product who might not sign 2.) take...

How the latest salary cap structure affects the Bulls
2011-06-22 00:47:00 Per Ken Berger:The essence of the system described by Stern was an NHL-style cap system with a targeted salary of $62 million per team and a to-be-negotiated range from a minimum to an amount above $62 million that teams could spend up to through various exceptions currently in place - such as the Larry Bird exception and mid-level exception. An escrow-like system would be used to adjust for teams coming in below and above the $62 million target. Unlike the current escrow system, through which 8 percent of players' salaries is withheld and paid back if negotiated salaries fall short of 57 percent of revenues, Stern said owners would keep the escrow under the new system - making this, in...
