Bulls Game Day: Lead Wizards after 3 quarters

By Fred Mitchell

The Bulls increased their lead to 72-58 at the end of three quarters. Derrick Rose has 17 points, Joakim Noah 13 and Luol Deng 12.

At halftime, the Wizards had no players in double figures. Washington connected on just 19 of 49 shots for 39 percent as the game had six lead changes to that point.

The game marked the regular-season debut of former Bull Kirk Hinrich in a Wizards uniform. The Bulls provided a video tribute of Hinrich's Bulls career near the end of the first quarter.

Wizards' Wall, Yi hurt in loss to Bulls

Tribune News Services

John Wall lumbered out of the locker room with a walking boot protecting his injured left foot, weary after chasing around Derrick Rose all night. It was his third game in four days, too.

Welcome to the NBA, kid.

Wall injured his left foot in the third quarter and returned when the Wizards rallied in the fourth, but could be sidelined for a few days now.
"It's swollen a little bit," he said. "I sprained it. I just got to take some days off and get treatment on it."

Wall finished with 16 points, six assists and perhaps even more credibility among his teammates, impressed that he felt he had to be on the floor when the Wizards were trying for the comeback win.

"We're proud that he hurt his foot and came back and gave us what he did," Gilbert Arenas said.

Wizards forward Yi Jianlian also went down in the third quarter with a bruised right knee and Al Thornton gutted through 25 minutes one night after he left a 93-85 loss to Charlotte with stomach pain.

Coach Flip Saunders was adopting a wait-and-see outlook for Yi and Wall. "We're like a MASH crew," he said.

On the eve of the Circus Trip, Bulls positioned as best they can

Based off of arjoseph's suggestion, the Joakim Noah creepy-motivational clown picture is the official picture of the Circus trip.

View full size photo »

Was only able to half-watch Saturday night's win (and even then had enough eye-rollers courtesy of Neil Funk) but it was, like Thursday, a gift of the schedule that the Bulls properly took care of.

And that's not to be dismissed as ordinary, a good team wins comfortably against that caliber (both in talent and possible tiredness), it seems completely different from a team that would lose a 35-point lead to the Kings. And in the case of that Thursday game against the Warriors: when playing well not just winning comfortably but completely blowing them out. The Bulls didn't play as well offensively against the Wizards, but they did follow a remarkable defensive trend: simultaneously forcing a very high number of turnovers while not fouling.

It's a credit to Thibodeau that the D is playing this well, and he's also conditioned the offense to run often off of these turnovers, which has helped the offense been the best it's looked in years. Take a look at the Bulls pace and efficiency: it's been a great start to the season. Both Rose and Noah have shown incremental improvement, Taj Gibson has been phenomenal, Luol Deng's hitting 3s, and even an early-season worry at SG has looked stronger as of late: Ronnie Brewer has gotten more active by the game, and Bogans has gotten back to serviceable. Thibodeau's even rectified some rotation questions by playing Asik over Kurt Thomas, and not playing Scal at all.

Of course, any early numbers can fluctuate (a 30-pt. blowout win helps), but at 5-3 and the only 'bad' loss looking just like an unlucky night, the Bulls have done what they could to both mitigate future damage caused by this road trip as well as seemingly best prepare themselves to win some of these games.

Not that it doesn't mean bad times aren't still likely to be ahead for the next couple weeks. Not only facing the 3 Texas teams, the Lakers and the Nuggets, even the easier opponents in that stretch (Suns and Kings) are on the second nights of back-to-backs. Expectations should stay low: staying competitive will be a good sign, and any victory will be fantastic. Remember, last season's Circus trip wasn't just full of losses, the Bulls were getting consistently blown out. This team looks too good for that.

Sore right knee to sideline Bulls' Korver

By Fred Mitchell

Guard Kyle Korver will not accompany the Bulls at the onset of their two-week road trip because of a sore right knee, the team said Monday.

Korver will undergo an MRI and have the knee looked at by team physician Brian Cole.

The Bulls open their annual "circus trip" Tuesday in Houston and will complete the "Texas Triangle" by hitting San Antonio and Dallas before moving on to the West Coast. They don't return to the United Center until Dec. 1 against Orlando.

NOTE: Guard Derrick Rose was named the NBA's Eastern Conference player of the week after averaging 21.3 points with 27 assists in three Bulls' victories.

Bulls' Rose: 'I guess I'm playing good basketball'

By Fred Mitchell

The Bulls' Derrick Rose and Utah's Deron Williams were named the Eastern and Western Conference Players of the Week, respectively, on Monday.

2010-11 Game Preview #9: Bulls at Houston Rockets

[Thanks to Cosmis for today's game preview (sign up!). This may be one of the more winnable games on the trip, with the Bulls rested and the Rockets without Yao or Aaron Brooks. The good news continues in the form of Kyle Korver, who missed yesterday's practice but participated in shootaround today. Game is at 7:30 on CSN Chicago. -ed.]

Well here we go. The dreaded Circus Trip rears it's ugly, clown shaped head in Houston. I think 3 wins would be an almost miraculous outcome this time. Pessimism aside, this is a very winnable game.

The Most Important Bulls in the World: Taj Gibson. Matched up against one of the best players in the league so far this season in Luis Scola, Taj needs to, at the very least, hold his own. He also needs to foul as little as possible (not easy for him), lest we're all treated to a little more Scalabrine than we are prepared for.

Keys to Victory: Scoring a lot of points and stopping the Rockets from scoring just as much or more! No, seriously, with the absence of Yao Ming, Scola becomes their only real inside threat (just what Bradass WANTS us to think), so Noah should be able to dominate his mentor in all things that aren't related to camouflage.

A real point of interest to me is how well Shane Battier will be able to guard Deng, who's been on a bit of a hot streak lately. He might still be the same average player, but the way in which he's getting his shots is vastly different. Taking better threes, slashing and actually PASSING inside, and generally getting to the line at a better rate. Deng has become a legitimate weapon rather than a guy who just stands around and scores once in a while. I credit Thibs' new motion offense.

Also, while the absence of Aaron Brooks will do wonders for our 3 point defense, Kyle Lowry is actually (suggested by his stats and also by people with eyes) a better passer and defender than Brooks. Kevin Martin going for less than 30 would significantly improve our chances at victory.

I'm not saying that the Circus Trip will suck in 2010. I'm just saying that past history dictates that it probably will. Prove me wrong, Bulls.

Bulls' Korver a game-time decision vs. Rockets

By K.C. Johnson

HOUSTON -- Kyle Korver tested his bruised right knee at Tuesday's morning shoot-around and is a gametime decision as the Bulls begin a seven-game trip against the Rockets.

Korver joined the team after undergoing an MRI on Monday in Chicago. That revealed a bone bruise.

Korver told reporters he suffered the bruise while contesting John Wall's layup in Saturday's victory over the Wizards. He flew commercially to Houston.

Bulls' Korver will play vs. Rockets

By K.C. Johnson

HOUSTON -- One day after undergoing an MRI that revealed a bone bruise on his right knee, Kyle Korver will play Tuesday night as the Bulls begin a season-high, seven-game trip against the Rockets.

"It's gotten a lot better every day," Korver said. "There is some minor stuff in there. But the doctor said as long as I play through it, I will be fine.

"It's a little tender. But once you get going, the adrenalin takes over. And if I'm not playing well, I'm sure Coach will take me out."

Korver said he hyperextended his knee when he challenged John Wall's shot just before halftime of Saturday's victory over the Wizards. Korver didn't practice Monday and flew commercially to Houston on his own late Monday.

"I got the third-to-last row, too," Korver said. "A window seat."

Coach Tom Thibodeau said Korver's presence aids the offense because defenses have to respect his jumpshot.

"We're happy he'll be out there," Thibodeau said.
