NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Derrick Rose has been patiently waiting for an ankle on the mend. Against San Antonio, Derrick had to just put it out of his mind and play as hard as he could play for as long as he could go. Coach Vinny Del Negro wanted to keep a close eye on Derrick Rose’s minutes, but he ended up playing 33 minutes in what was his first game in almost a month’s time.

This was a huge victory for Chicago and probably not too …read more

The Bulls in London. Kind of sounds like some Warren Zevon, only he sang about the werewolves in London.
This time it was the Chicago Bulls playing out one of David Stern’s fantasies, a game of NBA basketball in London. The game was played proper and even though the Jazz had a go at it, they could not quite get it done. There was no stampede by the Chicago Bulls, just a game winning shot by rookie James Johnson on a fade away from the baseline.
And …read more

Kobe is flat out a great scorer
The Bulls have got to be wondering what they were thinking.
Hold on to Luol Deng and pass on Kobe Bryant?
Luol Deng. Now how many votes for the All Star team did he get? Hmm, there was that one from his mother. And that one from his agent.
Oh well, Luol is going to be great, right? Right?
Kobe is great and has been since the day he stepped on the court.
GM Mitch Kupchak should get more credit for not pulling off any deals.
Adrian Wojnarowski, …read more

If Andrew Bynum keeps it up, hmm, maybe we can win it all
This one is tough to figure out. Maybe you can explain it to me.
If there are any ardent Laker followers, then please leave a comment and explain to me how this group of Lakers can be playing so well.
Phil Jackson must own a lot of mirrors, because it appears he is doing it with mirrors.
Then again, love him or not, Kobe Bryant is special and may just be carrying the Lakers to greater glory. The Lakers …read more

You talking to me?
The Bulls are going no where in the NBA this season.
That means you have to blame someone.
They did. They fired the coach, Scott Skiles.
Oh, it was going to happen sometime anyway. Scotty is too fiery to last too long with any pro team. He probably should be coaching in college where a coach can really rule over the team.
When you have Scott’s attitude and your team begins to lose, you will begin to lose your team. It is part of the package in NBA Basketball.
You …read more

Jordan and Kobe, old Bull and future Bull?
Ok, ok, Lamar had a good night and the Lakers took down the Bulls. So what?
Lamar had 17 points and 16 rebounds. Good for him, no knock on Lamar.
But you know, nobody cares about that, because tomorrow Lamar goes back to being an undersized center or an inconsistent power forward.
You just want to know the latest Kobe rumor.
Hey, did you hear Kobe is going to…
Meanwhile, Kobe was slowed down a little.

Slowed by a groin injury, Bryant scored 18 points but was …read more

Ha! The rumors were flying and Kobe was to be a Bull.
Not going to happen.
That is, if you listen to Jon Paxson, GM of the Chicago Bulls.
“There’s not a deal done,” he said Thursday. “There’s not going to be a deal done.”
Paxson said they discussed “parameters,” but the sides “never got down to the nuts and bolts of it because there was never a deal to be done.”
Paxson’s comments came a day after a flurry of rumors. Speculation picked up Wednesday, with one report saying the Bulls, Kings …read more

Nobody loves me

The rift between Jerry Buss and Kobe Bryant grows ever wider until it appears like the Grand Canyon.
Kobe must go!
How do you do that when he has a no trade clause, a huge contract, is getting up there in NBA years, and worst of all is displaying a definite attitude problem.
Would other teams want to take on the Kobe act of defiance?
