Taj Gibson’s offense draws praise, double teams
NEW YORK — Enjoying the best offensive season of his career and his best stretch of the season, Bulls big man Taj Gibson has gotten used to dealing with multiple defenders when he gets the ball in the post. It happened often Monday in the 96-80 road loss against the Brooklyn Nets. He has earned that respect. “That’s why, when I go over stuff with [coach Tom Thibodeau] and [assistant] coach Mike [Wilhelm], they want me to face up a lot more,” Gibson said....

Gibson, Boozer power Bulls over Nets
Even though they both line up at power forward, it’s not necessarily a question of Carlos Boozer OR Taj Gibson. The Bulls showed that on Thursday night when they knocked off the Brooklyn Nets 92-76 at the United Center. They got energetic games from Gibson (16 points) AND Boozer (15 points and 10 rebounds), who returned from a three-game absence due to a calf injury. ``For us to achieve what we want to achieve, Carlos has to play,’’ coach Tom Thibodeau said....

Should Taj Gibson be full-time starter when Carlos Boozer returns?
Yes. About two weeks ago, Carlos Boozer complained about Taj Gibson taking his fourth quarter minutes. If I had my way, Boozer will have something more to complain about whenever he returns from a calf injury suffered while jumping during pregame warm-ups last week. Yes, I'm advocating for Gibson to retain a full-time starting role even when Boozer returns to the lineup. While the sample size has been rather small, Gibson has thus far proven he can handle starters minutes, and I believe we've seen enough improvement in Gibson's game this year to think there wouldn't be much regression if...

Rapid Reaction: Bulls 100, Hawks 85
CHICAGO -- Let's take a quick look at how the Chicago Bulls cruised to a 100-85 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night at the United Center. How it happened: Joakim Noah continued his All-Star level play racking up a triple double -- 19 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists. Taj Gibson had 24 points, 12 rebounds and five assists for a Bulls squad that dominated most of the night. Paul Millsap led the Hawks with 15 points, but it wasn't enough for an Atlanta team that dug too big of a hole to get out of in the first half.

Bulls’ Taj Gibson growing as a scorer
LOS ANGELES — There seems to be no stopping Taj Gibson. At least he feels unstoppable. ‘‘A great player like Ed Pinckney [a Bulls assistant] once told me, ‘When you’re in a zone sometimes, you don’t even think about who’s guarding you. You just go,’ ’’ Gibson said before the Bulls practiced at UCLA on Saturday. ‘‘That’s the way I’m feeling. I really don’t care or think about who’s guarding me. I just go. I’m playing with a good...

Carlos Boozer’s issues are boosting Taj Gibson’s stock
SAN FRANCISCO — Joakim Noah doesn’t just hand out compliments — you have to earn his respect. Asked about the player that teammate Taj Gibson has become for the Bulls this season, Noah smiled and said two words: ‘‘Hard hat.’’ Basically, the anti-Carlos Boozer. The differences between Boozer and Gibson have showed up again on this West Coast trip. Boozer, right or wrong, made headlines earlier this week by letting it be known he was unhappy with his...
