Chicago Bulls versus Milwaukee Bucks: A Battle of 0-2 Teams What the buck is wrong with the Chicago Bulls? A team that many have has a contender in the Eastern Conference has looked dead in the first two games of the regular season, both losses.

After awful performances last night, Chicago point guard Kirk Hinrich and center Ben Wallace need to be the tone setters on offense and defense, respectively, on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks. So far they haven’t even been close; a disturbing trend early this season to say the least.

Philadelphia 76ers versus Chicago Bulls: Post-Game Analysis

Andre Iguodala and the Philadelphia 76ers Came Into Chicago and Whipped the Bulls Philadelphia 76ers 96, Chicago Bulls 85

What is it with these recent Chicago Bulls teams getting off to such slow starts under Head Coach Scott Skiles? The Bulls were outworked, outhustled, outrebounded, outeverythinged tonight during a very discouraging 96-85 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, a less-talented team that played with more determination and heart than Chicago. It was that simple. With that said, it’s still early in the season, but Chicago is off to its typical slow start.

Michael Jordan Gets a Statue in Chicago, and Who Copies the Idea but the Chicago Cubs! Yuck! Rumor has it that the real reason Kobe Bryant isn’t coming to the Chicago Bulls is that Bulls General Manager John Paxson would not agree to build a statue for the Los Angeles Lakers crybaby superstar to go next to the Michael Jordan one outside of the United Center.

Sound like another far-fetched Kobe rumor? Sure, but it’s still not as bad as some of the rumors thrown out there yesterday on ESPN involving the alleged Kobe Bryant deal for nearly every member of the Chicago Bulls, including Benny the Bull.

Thirteen years ago today, the Bulls retired Jordan’s #23 and erected the famous statue in honor of the greatest player to ever grace a basketball court.

Chicago Bulls General Manager John Paxson Squashed the Kobe Bryant Trade Rumors Today

Not only did John Paxson end the Kobe Bryant trade speculation this afternoon and the distractions that it had caused for his Chicago young team, the Bulls General Manager made a very interesting statement.

In describing why the trade talks were off, at least for the meantime, Paxson essentially said that he could not make a deal in which he would have to go to team owner Jerry Reinsdorf and say that it would not have made the Bulls better.

Acquiring Kobe would have made the Bulls a more talented team but not a better one, and this distinction needs to be made.
