chicago bulls

It is an absolute shame that Chicago Bulls star guard Derrick Rose tore his ACL Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Rose, one of the NBA's best young talents, was injured driving to the lane late in the 4th quarter.

With NBA rosters now set after the passing of the trade deadline last Thursday, teams are positioned for the season’s final 20-plus games and the playoff push. Here’s what’s happening in the NBA this week:

The greatest basketball player to ever lace 'em up, Michael Jeffrey Jordan, turns 49 years old today.  It's hard to fathom that MJ is almost 50, but nobody stays young forever.  Jordan is as much a brand and pseudo-deity as he is a human being anymore...

Apparently it was 80s night at New Orleans Arena for the Bulls/Hornets game.  Will Ferrell's hilarious rendition of the starting lineups was the pinnacle of the evening for Hornets fans.  After Ferrell had the crowd in stitches they were subjected to their team getting blasted by the Bulls, 90-67...

LeBron James may not the guy you want taking the last shot of a game, but he's still the most talented player in the league.  In the first quarter of Miami's 97-93 win over Chicago, the 'king' soars to new heights.  James jumps over John Lucas to throw down Dwayne Wade's pass...

If memory serves me correct the Heat wouldn't contend for a title in year one of the 'three am-ego' era because they lacked chemistry, a strong interior presence, and adequate role players.

No, filling out an NBA bracket is not quite as fun as the NCAA Tournament but here it goes!!!
