Orlando Magic star Dwight Howard is the best center in the NBA , but he is overrated because of his postseason failures and the lack of a strong post game.

Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose will not play Sunday afternoon against the Boston Celtics due to ongoing back spasms.

It could be a good sign that they didn't even need him to defeat the Charlotte Bobcats last month.

Trading for Dwight Howard would take the Bulls from a nice title contender into the absolute locked in favorite.

Chicago Bulls small forward Luol Deng, second from left, celebrates with Jimmy Butler, left, Taj Gibson, second from right, and Carlos Boozer their 76-74 come-from-behind win over the Atlanta Hawks after an NBA basketball game Tuesday, Jan.

The NBA has been running a BIG advertising campaign to promote the 2011-12 season, and in the latest iteration the Chicago Bulls are featured for their defensive efforts.

Carlos Boozer scored 18 points and the Chicago Bulls barely needed Derrick Rose in an easy 90-67 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.

The game featured two of the NBA's premier point guards, Deron Williams of the Nets and reigning MVP Derrick Rose of the Bulls.

Chicago Bulls' Taj Gibson and New Jersey Nets' Kris Humphries compete for a rebound during the second quarter of an NBA basketball game, Monday, Feb.

Luol Deng felt fine the day after scoring 21 points in 41 minutes against the Milwaukee Bucks after missing the previous seven games with a wrist injury.

Derrick Rose scored 15 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter as the Chicago Bulls held on to take down the New York Knicks, 105-102. Carmelo Anthony had an opportunity to tie the game at the final buzzer, but his long three-point try from the right wing was way off the mark.

"Philadelphia is the only city where you can experience the thrill of victory and the agony of reading about it the next day," - Hall of Fame third baseman Mike Schmidt.

The glue of the Chicago Bulls , Luol Deng , is questionable against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight because of a torn ligament in his left wrist, an injury he suffered against the Charlotte Bobcats more than 10 days ago.

Unless Dwight Howard says he would be interested in signing a long-term deal with the Bulls, it's highly unlikelyhe will be paired with his "brother" Derrick Rose in Chicago.

For many Bulls fans, Sunday's matchup against Heat had been circled on their calendars' since Miami eliminated Chicago from the playoffs last season, and, although Chicago lost to Miami 97-93 down in South Florida, I want all Bulls fans to take a deep breath, put the vase down, hug your dog, and exhale.

The 2011-12 NBA regular season is more than a quarter complete, and the landscape of NBA contenders is starting to take form.
