Chicago native and NBA veteran Nazr Mohammed's 2012-13 season will be remembered for one thing: shoving LeBron James to the ground in Game 3 of the Bulls playoff series with the Heat.

Luol Deng could again be on the trading block for the Bulls, but it doesn't seem to make much sense for the team to trade its starting small forward.

The Derrick Rose -less Chicago Bulls surprised many NBA fans by reaching the second round, and they now enter an offseason full of questions.

Quite frankly, a few sensible offseason additions could be just enough to vault them past the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference.

The team doesn't have the money to sign a top-notch free agent, and it's not going to pull off any blockbuster trades.

LeBron James was shoved to the floor by seldom-used center Nazr Mohammed early in the second quarter, nearly causing a huge fracas after an already testy Game 2. James netted 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, while Chris Bosh tallied 20 points and a playoff career-high 19 rebounds in the Miami Heat's 104-94 win over the Chicago Bulls in ... (more)

We've talked at length about the Chicago Bulls' long-term plan for building a winning roster around Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose, and it mostly consists of them not spending any new money this summer so that they can preserve cap space for 2014.

He put the Bulls on his back and carried them to a victory in Game 7 at Brooklyn; outdueling Brook Lopez to the tune of 12-of-17 shooting for 24 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists.

DEERFIELD – The next time he suits up for a game, there's a good chance Derrick Rose will actually be in a uniform and not in a jacket and slacks.

That was a pretty minor play in this game - in the fourth quarter the Heat were on a fast break and, as they have done all series long, the Bulls tried to go with the "Euro foul" out at midcourt before the play developed to break it up.

Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder said "we will never change the name of the team," in response to possible legislation that would label name Redskins "racist and derogatory." Snyder may have taken it too far, however, in hiring Taylor Swift to write the Redskins' new theme song, "We Are Never Ever Getting Out of the 1960s." Chicago Bulls ... (more)

We would probably be witnessing a sweep if it wasn't for a rusty Miami Heat team in Game 1 . Bulls put up a good fight but they don't have the talent or the depth to challenge the Miami Heat .

Chicago Bulls forward Carlos Boozer talks to an official during the second half of Game 4 of an NBA basketball playoffs Eastern Conference semifinal against the Miami Heat on Monday, May 13, 2013, in Chicago.

It wasn't a Game 4 win for Miami so much as it was Day 4 of the siege. The Bulls were protecting their honor, even as their self-made Alamo was doomed to fall.

When the hard shove came from Nazr Mohammed , it was like the shoe flying at President George W. Bush years ago.

If you were worried the Bulls might've wised up after their many stupid acts cost them the last two playoff games, then here's some good news: "We want to be the aggressor,'' Jimmy Butler said.

Luol Deng has been dealing with complications from a spinal tap he underwent late in the Bulls first round series against the Nets.

Miami's superstar shot down the accusations from the Bulls, saying they reminded him of the days when some claimed he was overrated and questioned his ability to lead a team to a championship.

The Bulls aren't ready to anoint Chris Bosh the taller, less-nasty version of Dennis Rodman just yet, but they certainly have a renewed awareness of the Heat center's ability on the glass.
