Phil Jackson might leave the basketball world for good
Jackson left the Bulls more than 10 years ago, but I’ll always remember him as the Bulls coach, not the Lakers. At 64, Jackson has had medical issues. Lets face it, it will happen to all of us. No one is immortal. The problem is, with him out of the picture, who will be the main dominant coach in the NBA?
Bulls Hire Thibodeau for the Head Coaching vacancy
On Saturday afternoon, the Bulls made claim to Tom Thibodeau as their head coach for the 2010-2011 season. I say claim, because the Bulls can’t make it official until after the NBA finals because of the rules Commissioner David Stern strongly stands behind.
Either way, the Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau has been hired by the Chicago Bulls to replace Vinny Del Negro.
Introduction to the Top 10 Summer Free Agent Options for the Chicago Bulls
The next 10 posts are going to be the Bulls Home rundown of the top free agent options for the Chicago Bulls.
Chicago has six players on the books for next season: Luol Deng, Derrick Rose, Joakim Noah, Taj Gibson, Kirk Hinrich and James Johnson. They are allowed to have 15, so there is room for nine more players.
The NBA projects next year’s salary cap to be $56.1 million. Chicago only has $33.6 million spent, meaning they have $22.5 mill to go shopping with.
Playoff Picks
This is a little late. The playoffs came fast and quick. The Bulls had so much commotion going on with fighting to get into the playoffs, Vinny Del Negro and John Paxson fighting and Noah blasting Cleveland and Kevin Garnett. Well, this is as good a time as any for my playoff picks.

Cleveland Cavaliers VS Chicago Bulls- Cavs in 5
I would love for the Bulls to win more than one game or even take the series, but it will not happen. Lebron James is just too much for the Bulls to handle. The Bulls played a great game, but still lost game 2. Enough said, I’m going to pout in silence…..
First round drama in game 1
The NBA markets playoff drama every year. They should, because every year the playoffs seem like a day time soap opera for sports fans. This year the drama started in many of the opening games in plenty of the first round series.
The biggest event is the Boston Celtic’s Kevin Garnett getting banned from game two in his team’s series against the Miami Heat. In game one, teammate Paul Pierce fell to the court and laid in pain. Miami Heat’s Quentin Richardson stood over him and said some words. With 40 seconds left in the game, Garnett came to protect Pierce, elbowing Richardson in the face. KG is not allowed to enter the arena for game two and Richardson has to pay a $25,000 fine.
