Noah’s foot causes more problems for the Bulls
In the second quarter of last nights game. Kirk Hinrich went down in pain.
Hinrich stepped on Noah’s foot. The situation ended with the guard suffered a bad ankle sprain.
The injury problems continue to build on the Bulls roster. Luol Deng is currently out because of an injured calf. Noah still isn’t 100% from his left foot problem and Rose just came back from his wrist injury.
The Bull’s line-up is already paper thin and is putting the team in danger of becoming non-existent for a playoff birth.
Bosh a Bull, Great Idea
With the NBA season winding down, summer free agency is becoming the talk of the league once again. Where will D-Wade, Lebron or Bosh go? This is the question every blogger, journalist and sports guy at the bar are asking. It’s my turn.
Lebron will either stay in Cleveland or go to Miami. Wade isn’t going to leave, especially if they get Lebron. Bosh will become a Chicago Bull.
Chris Bosh would be the best option for the Bulls. I have said this since I learned who the free agents were going to be. Bosh is a low post animal the Bulls would love to have.

Suns beat Bulls
The Phoenix Suns lock up a playoff spot by defeating the Bulls 111-105.
The Bulls were in the game until the fourth quarter when Phoenix outscored them 30-21.
Derrick Rose and Ronald Murray scored 23 apiece. Taj Gibson had another double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds.
The Sun’s Amare Stoudemire also had a double-double with 21 points and 11 rebounds. Steve Nash had one as well with 22 points and 10 assists.
The Bulls were in the game, just out scored at the end.
Tying Toronto
With a win against the Phoenix Suns tonight, the Bulls would be tied with the Toronto Raptors for 8th place in the Eastern Conference.
On the other side, Phoenix Suns will clinch a playoff birth with a victory.
Both teams have something on the line, it should be a great game.
The Bulls are Deng-less, but otherwise healthy. Warrick and Murray have to continue their strong play.
Plus, Amare Stoudemire, in a contract year, has come on strong since the All-Star break; the Bulls will need to D him up if they plan to win.
Gibson optimistic in Bull’s shopping free agents
The Bulls have made financial and roster decisions that let us know they will be shopping the summer’s free agent market very hard.
John Salmons and Tyrus Thomas were traded for five expiring contracts and a first round draft pick. Plus four preexisting contracts will be expiring as well, including, Brad Miller, the over paid and never played Jerome James, the down and out Lindsey Hunter and Tim Thomas.
The only contracts on Chicago’s pay roll next year is the young talented nucleus of Deng, Rose, Hinrich, Noah, Gibson and Johnson.

The question is, what position will the Bulls shop for? I am hoping for a big man. Noah and Gibson have done their thing all season long, but it will not get them far in the post season if nobody else is added. The Chicago Tribune asked Taj Gibson if he was cool with being a number two forward; he said not a problem.
