But when he sat at the podium after the Bulls’ season ended in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Heat last month in Miami, he was in a surprisingly upbeat mood. The Heat still might have the upper hand, but Noah thinks the balance of power might be shifting. ‘‘There’s a lot of positives,’’ Noah said when asked what thoughts he will take int...

Chicago Sun-Times — As the Bulls walked off the court Wednesday night in Miami — again sent on summer vacation by the Heat — the team had numerous roster holes.

Chicago Bulls May 13, 2013Bulls have no tenacity, no energy, no chance
Chicago Sun-Times — Before Game 4, the Bulls talked the talk about aggressiveness. ‘‘It’s our only chance,’’ Joakim Noah and Tom Thibodeau both had said, reading from the same script.

Mentally, we were a little drained because we weren’t h...
