Gibson has taken a big step forward this season
There’s a reason Bulls power forward Carlos Boozer might be expendable during the offseason — a 6-9, 225-pound reason. The development of Taj Gibson hasn’t come overnight, but the fifth-year big man has arrived this season, and it’s just a matter of time before the Bulls will have no choice but to make him a starter. Just don’t ask Gibson about it because it’s a non-issue to him. ‘‘One day I might be a starter, but it’s all about whatever helps the...

Gibson's offensive game continues to improve
CHICAGO -- Taj Gibson's offensive awakening started over the summer. To understand why the Chicago Bulls veteran has ramped up his scoring prowess to the tune of an extra four points a contest this season, it's important to realize the hard work that went into Gibson's game over the last six months. It's also crucial to understand his mindset. The proud 28-year-old forward was disappointed with the way he played at times last year and admitted that he felt extra pressure to live up to the contract extension that he had signed on opening night a year ago.

Luol Deng out tonight against Pistons
Taj Gibson may start in his place.

Opening Tip: Bulls trying to 'stick with it'
CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls have had so many ups and downs over the past two seasons that their recent skid of six losses in their past seven games really hasn't dampened player's feelings as much as fans may think. The Bulls have a veteran group full of proud players, so they are still confident they can bounce back over the course of a long NBA season. "Look at the East," Bulls forward Taj Gibson said recently. "The East is really an up-and-down kind of side.

Pelicans vs. Bulls final score: New Orleans wins a wild one at the UC
Madness, I say. MADNESS. Conventional wisdom suggested Bulls vs. Pelicans offered little in the way of entertainment value with injuries to Chicago-bred superstars Derrick Rose and Anthony Davis, but some time during the second quarter, in between some peerless offensive post work from Taj Gibson and another swished three-pointer by Ryan Anderson, something resembling a fun little basketball game broke out. Fast-forward three overtimes later and what we were left with was one of the wildest games of the young NBA season, full of momentum swings, lead changes, and moments of both triumph...
