Basketball is BACK!
I am certain that I have at least millions of people agreeing with me when I say "The best Christmas present was the fact that basketball is back!" The big stadiums, polished courts, stage lights and thousands of fans have a reason to be set alight as the sound of the players running, ball bouncing and the beautiful 'swish' is now heard! Basketball ...

Eastern Conference Finals Game 4: Heat Win 101-93, Lead Series 3-1
The Heat moved to within one win of their first trip to the NBA Finals since 2006 with a 101-93 overtime victory over the Bulls last night. The game could have gone Chicago's way had the last eight seconds of regulation went their way. Instead it went the way of Miami, who seized control of the game in overtime, and now needs just one win in the remaining ...

Eastern Conference Finals Game 3: Heat Win 96-85, Lead Series 2-1
For the second straight game Miami's suffocating defense kept Chicago's offense under wraps and Chicago's defense offered little resistance to Miami's offense. Chris Bosh had his best playoff performance, and possibly the best night of his career. The game was marred by the capturing of Joakim Noah, by TNT cameras, appearing to direct a slur and profanity ...

Is the Wait Over Already?
As I’m sitting here watching baseball on a Friday night I am wondering… why isn’t the NBA playoffs on tonight? I mean, it’s not just me. I’m not the only one. I know that pretty soon there will be no basketball in about a month so we’ll have to get used to it but, c’mon, really? Why does the NBA extend the playoffs so far where there are ...

Eastern Conference Finals Game 2: Heat Win 85-75, Series Tied 1-1
Miami evened the series last night behind a defensive display that was even more impressive than the one Chicago put on in game 1. The Bulls were held to 34% shooting from the floor and 15% from 3-point land. Even though they weren't being guarded, they only shot 62% from the free-throw line to top off a bad all-around shooting performance. How was Miami's ...

Last night the Chicago Bulls improved to 4-0 versus the Miami Heat this season to take a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.

Eastern Conference Finals Preview: Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat
The Bulls and Heat were the top two teams in the East this year. Unlike in the Western Conference half of this year's playoff bracket, after the dust of the first two rounds has settled, the top two teams are still standing. Chicago arrived in the conference finals by beating the Pacers in five games and the Hawks in six. Miami took care of both the Sixers ...

Round 2, Game 6 Recap: Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks
The Chicago Bulls are going to their first Eastern Conference Finals since MJ was wearing the white and red thanks to a series clinching 93-73 victory over the Hawks last night. It was probably the ideal game to head into a huge series with the Heat that starts on Sunday for Chicago. Boozer finally got going. The bench played, collectively, their best ...

Round 2, Game 5 Recap: Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks
With a 95-83 win, the Bulls now lead the series 3-2 and will have a chance to close out the series Thursday in Atlanta. In his post game press conference, Hawks head coach Larry Drew just said, "They played harder than we did" and down the stretch I'd have to agree with him. The Bulls led 69-68 at the end of the third quarter and turned up the defensive ...
