the 2026-27 chiefs can’t hurt me

plenty of big brained ways to look at this and Travis frankly frustrated the hell out of me last season but at this point you gotta just choose to enjoy another lap with this guy while you can

Think it’s safe to say that Josh could break this record by a comfortable margin if he stays in Chicago for his full contract.

great news for women’s hoops fans!

I do think AK tried to take a legitimate swing at something in 2021 (which was far removed from tanking) but he froze too completely after that failure to dig them out. Which is why it feels like they’re stuck on a wheel now.

Will be banging this drum a lot in the final weeks of the season, because it really REALLY matters re: ownership’s decision to keep Artūras Karnišovas around.

Whether the Bulls get lucky in the lottery or not is a moot point for AK. This is about vision and leadership in the long-term.

Chicago Bulls lose to the Sacramento Kings 126-110 — yet the team’s tanking strategy remains confusing The glaring concern for the Chicago Bulls is that Sunday’s loss didn’t seem all that purposeful or planned.

Process matters as much as results when a team is in the early stages of a rebuild.

Wrote about how last night’s loss revealed key weaknesses for Bulls leadership, which still struggles to do the hard (but necessary) thing:

The Bulls lost to the worst team in the NBA tonight.

Yet even that positive (negative) outcome seemed to happen by mistake.

Wrote about how this team still seems to be losing on accident — and an organizational lack of stomach for making hard decisions:

Collin Sexton will not return to this game with a leg contusion.

Scored a team-high 28 points off the bench after going 7-for-9 from 3-point range.

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows The evidence contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for a strike at the school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Breaking News: New video adds to evidence that a U.S. missile likely hit an Iranian school where 175 people, many of them children, were reportedly killed.

Jalen Smith is back tonight under a minutes restriction. Playing him is reflective of the Bulls' organizational failure to "tank."

Would fully be in their rights to shut down a guy who has tried to play through multiple calf strains. Instead he's out here blocking the snot out of Maxime Raynaud.

The Bulls came into this game with a very important scouting directive: anyone who bites on a DeMar DeRozan pump fake gets fined $100.

Sad that we couldn’t see that one in action (DeMar is out sick).

After trade-deadline dust settles, Kyle Davidson stands firm in his vision for young Chicago Blackhawks The Chicago Blackhawks traded away three veteran captains this week. GM Kyle Davidson trusts his process of development and opportunity — as well as his young players.

Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said a lot today, but it all comes back to his trust in his youth, and developing his young team into winners.

WNBA Union Director Blames Player Rupture on League “I hear the emotions and the range of them as a result of the league putting pressure on the players, the league dragging this out,” Terri Carmichael Jackson tells FOS.

I went to WNBPA HQ to interview executive director Terri Carmichael Jackson about the split amongst members.

“The one thing I said to [the players] is they have one tool and their tool is to out wait you."

The Chicago Bulls bet on Josh Giddey. So why is the approach to their (supposed) star so haphazard? Josh Giddey is searching for patience and purpose in the final stretch of his second season with the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls have always taken a somewhat haphazard approach toward Josh Giddey.

Is he their star? Just a building block? Some secret third thing?

The dynamic is only getting more confusing in the weeks after a deadline overhaul:

tried to talk about this on here last year and (in typical bsky fashion) someone essentially called my childhood school district unaccredited within an hour of posting, let’s see if we can beat that time!

it’s that time of year again — gotta ask every person in my life if they grew up in a school district where teachers put March Madness on during class and watching the folks from the coast have an aneurysm over the concept

Chicago Bulls lose 116-108 to the Oklahoma City Thunder — and Matas Buzelis limps off the court Matas Buzelis scored 11 points for the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday before limping to the locker room near the end of the third quarter.

Both have returned to the bench. Giddey is set to check in.

Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis both just limped off the court in short succession for the Bulls.

Looked like ankle issues for both.

Obviously some injury aberrations for some top stars but this also fits with what I’ve anecdotally heard from some coaches/players about the constraints of the current pace of the game

Nick Martinelli feels ‘grateful’ — while eyeing a few more wins — as his record Northwestern career winds down Nick Martinelli said he has “a little bit of angst” as he closes out his Northwestern career and looks to the future.

For four years, Nick Martinelli has called Northwestern home, rising from a freshman reserve on the first of back-to-back NCAA Tournament teams to become one of the best scorers in program history.

It’s a career arc that is becoming rarer in the transfer-portal era.

Chicago Bulls snap 11-game losing streak — and sacrifice draft lottery standing — with win over Milwaukee A 27-0 run from the third to fourth quarter defined the Chicago Bulls’ 120-97 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday at the United Center.

There is a particular relief in dodging the worst type of history.

The Bulls basked in it Sunday after snapping an 11-game losing streak with a beatdown on the Bucks — draft lottery odds be damned.

As NHL trade deadline looms, Chicago Blackhawks veterans try not ‘to let the noise creep in’ By the time the Chicago Blackhawks return to the United Center, the roster might look a little different.

By the time the Blackhawks return to the United Center, the roster might look a little different.

The NHL trade deadline is at 2 p.m. Friday, and several veterans have seen their name bounced around in rumors, though moving them isn't certain.

Chicago Bulls lose 11th straight loss to make history — but it was their biggest win since the trade deadline For the first time in franchise history, the Chicago Bulls went the entire month of February without winning a game. This type of milestone is both damning and baffling.

The Bulls didn’t win a single game in February.

But tonight’s loss at least came with a silver lining.

Agents ask for 'coordinated communication' with WNBPA in CBA talks A slew of prominent WNBA player agents asked the WNBPA for "transparency and coordinated communication" moving forward in CBA negotiations, according to a letter obtained by ESPN.

Can Rob Dillingham find his place in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls? ‘I’ve got an opportunity here.’ Rob Dillingham hardly played in Minnesota. Can he carve out a second chance with the Chicago Bulls under the strict tutelage of Billy Donovan?

Rob Dillingham felt trapped in an anxious cycle during his time in Minnesota.

Now, the guard is seeking freedom. Can he find it in Chicago?

Went long on the push-pull dynamic of another young player trying to build an identity in Billy Donovan’s system:

Coby White won’t dwell on ‘what could have been’ as he returns to Chicago for his Charlotte Hornets debut When he steps onto the United Center court, Coby White hopes Chicago will remember him as a player who never stopped trying to be better.

Even at the end, Coby White always hoped he could be the one for the Bulls.

But now, as he returns to his long-time home, White can't worry about the dreams that never came true.

"I’ve kind of learned through my life that ‘what could have been’ brings you nothing but anxiousness and worry."

Anfernee Simons has a fractured wrist.

Billy Donovan described it as an “old injury” that occurred initially in training camp with the Celtics.

Surgery is not on the table. Billy says he’ll probably be out for 10ish days to allow pain to subside and then the doctors feel he’s fine to play on it.
