Bulls

Tim Thomas lasted only three games with the Bulls in 2006 before he whined himself out of town. Now he's back and promising the second time will be a charm.

The Bulls honored longtime player, coach and announcer Johnny "Red" Kerr on Tuesday night by giving him a halftime ceremony and dedicating the United Center court to him. The Pistons honored him by blowing a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, and giving the game away in an eventual 107-102 Bulls win.

Thanks largely to good luck, Derrick Rose fell into the Bulls' lap in the NBA draft lottery. For a team in need of a leader, this was the best present the Bulls could possibly have received. In this interview, Rose compares the college game to the NBA, talks about his progress, and reveals the one thing he doesn't think he's going to get in his rookie season.

The Bulls managed another milestone on Monday in an already remarkable season of lackluster play and mailing it in. They managed to lose to the Knicks, a team with even less heart than they have, 102-98.

Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich returned from an extended stint on the injured list Monday night finding he is now able to touch the rim, once an out-of-reach fantasy.

An 83-67 loss to the Timberwolves proved to be all the Bulls beat writers' union could take, effectively walking off the job Wednesday night in Minnesota after months of threats due to the team's miserable play.
