More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

Disappointing season for the Sky on the court, but they did at least dominate the league in Putting That Shit On

Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, a nun who became a national sports icon for cheering on the Loyola men’s basketball teams during their NCAA Tournament runs, died. She was 106.

Her secret to a long life?

“I eat well and sleep well. And hopefully I pray well.”

Bulls games get so goofy when Jevon Carter gets hot from three. Everyone starts slinging that rock with carefree abandon.

HVL finally underwent clean up surgery on her right ankle after playing through injury for the entire season.

Still not sure why this wasn’t undergone earlier this summer. Came in with the injury and never got it right. Really struggled through her rookie season as a result.

Bulls completely lost track of the clock at the end of the first quarter, which forced Josh Giddey to chuck a half-hearted, one-handed three up at the buzzer.

Swish.

Matas jumped off the bench grinning like Josh hit a game-winner.

A lot -- and I mean a LOT -- to like about how Matas has looked in preseason so far.

Also notable: Angel said former Sky coach Teresa Weatherspoon was her “backbone” this season.

Added that they watched film after every game.

Angel Reese teased the first episode of her new podcast season as being an “exit interview my way.”

Did not mention the Sky by name once in the episode. Only Chicago reference is talking about Caleb Williams going to her nail tech.

The Chicago Bulls need to get tougher.

Newcomer Isaac Okoro hopes to lead the way.

Can Isaac Okoro help the Chicago Bulls set a new tone of physicality on defense? “I pride myself on the defensive side and being physical.”

Josh Giddey dominated the spotlight for most of an otherwise sleepy summer for the Bulls.

Back in Chicago now, he voiced relief that the negotiation process was finally completed. But he also disputed rumors that he had grown frustrated with the front office at any point.

What we learned at Chicago Bulls training camp, including Josh Giddey’s relief and Coby White’s calf strain

Despite a long period of negotiations in restricted free agency, Josh Giddey always planned on a return to Chicago.

One of my first experiences covering Cathy Engelbert as WNBA commissioner was when she named gun violence as the main reason why the league refused to open up a Chance the Rapper concert to the public during All-Star weekend in Chicago. Didn’t get much buzz at the time but always stuck with me.

Isaac Okoro says he was in a hot Pilates class when the Cavaliers traded him to Chicago. Had a great class, came out and immediately got the call from his agent.

(For the record, he’s still looking for a new Pilates studio in Chicago.)

The Eastern Conference might be wide open this season — but the Bulls are still focused on the long-term future.

What that means for the playoffs and beyond as the front office sticks to the mantra of “building while competing.”

Even in a wide-open East, Chicago Bulls’ main goal this season is development — not playoffs

Chicago Bulls executive VP Artūras Karnišovas repeatedly emphasized the team’s mantra of “building while competing” — an ethos focused firmly on the future.
