Ep 222CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls hit rock bottom with another blowout loss to Hornets
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 133-117 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night. What the heck happened to this team? Playing in their final home game before their first playoff series in five years, the Bulls laid an absolute egg. Their defense was nonexistent in the first quarter, allowing the Hornets to make their first 11 field goal attempts. LaMelo Ball had 21 points in his first 12 minutes on the floor, shooting and making threes with zero resistance. By all observable evidence, these Bulls have mentally broken and given up. So...what happens now, other than a likely quick playoff exit?SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Ep 221CHGO Bulls Podcast: What Went Wrong with the 2021-22 Chicago Bulls?
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave, Will & Mark take a look at exactly what went wrong for the Bulls in the final third of the 2021-22 NBA season. They start on the offensive side of the ball (3:15), which has seen a decline of epic proportion after being dominant for large stretches of the early season. Then they shift focus to the defensive side (26:02), which has been a mixed bag of good and bad, including the portion of games since the returns of Alex Caruso and Patrick Williams. The guys also discuss the recent chatter from Bulls fans about just how much blame should fall on head coach Billy Donovan for this nosedive finish to the regular season (44:35).SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottlieb / @mkhoopsInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Ep 220CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls put forth embarrassing effort in blowout loss to Celtics
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 117-94 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. The Bulls laid another egg against a playoff-bound Eastern Conference team. If this was the effort they were going to give, then why bother playing DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine? Both All Stars are nursing injuries nearing the end of a long season. What was the point of sending them out there tonight when the entire squad looked like they had zero interest in competing? This one was frustrating, folks. Will Billy Donovan alter the game plan and rest more players for the final two games of the regular season?SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

The Bulls once again couldn't hang with the Bucks despite 40 points from DeMar DeRozan.

In this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will preview the Bulls’ final week of the regular season. The magic number to clinch a top-six seed is down to one with several key matchups remaining across the Eastern Conference (4:45). The guys then discuss whether the Bulls can spend these last four games pulling themselves out of a shooting slump (19:40).

Ep 217CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Fall to Top Competition Again as Heat Catch Fire
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 127-109 loss to the Miami Heat on Saturday night. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan combined for 59 points, but didn't get enough help from their supporting cast. Meanwhile, the Heat got huge contributions from their bench (51 points) on their way to 54% shooting as a team and 50% from behind the three-point line. The Bulls shooters still can't find their mark. Ayo Dosunmu and Coby White in particular have gone ice cold, as the pair combined to shoot just 1-11 behind the arc in this one. The Bulls fall to sixth in the East and just two games ahead of Cleveland with the loss with four games remaining. Can they find a way to finally beat one of the East's elite? Matchups with Milwaukee and Boston are on deck.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE :http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Ep 216CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Rally Past Clippers in Overtime Thanks to 50 from DeMar DeRozan
On this episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 135-130 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. DeMar DeRozan added another masterpiece to his epic season, scoring a season-high 50 points. His only missed free throw of the night (14-15) sent the game to overtime, but the Bulls rallied in the extra frame to pull out the massive victory. The win, coupled with the Cavs loss, gives the Bulls a 3-game cushion plus a tiebreaker to avoid the play-in tournament. The guys also talk about the huge impact Patrick Williams had on the game after getting some tough love from his coach Billy Donovan earlier this week.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Ep 214CHGO Bulls Podcast: DeMar DeRozan & Nikola Vucevic lead Bulls to vital victory over Wizards
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 107-94 win over the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. Nikola Vucevic got his offensive looks going early and often, and had 20 points by halftime. That made up for slow starts by DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, and then DeMar got going. He finished with 32 points, and also successfully passed out of the Wizards traps in the 4th quarter. Vucevic did a strong job finding the open man after operating as the relief target for DeMar's pass-outs. It was a welcome sight after traps have given the Bulls offense fits over the past several weeks. The Bulls bench also chipped in with 28 points, including a more promising display from Patrick Williams. Can the Bulls finally build off of the momentum that comes with a win? Plus, the guys debut their segment "See Red Carpet", offering their comments on some of the players' fashion statements as they made their entrances to the arena before tonight's game.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Ep 213CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Can't Complete Comeback, Take Awful Loss to Knicks
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 109-104 loss to the New York Knicks on Monday night. The guys start off by discussing some of Billy Donovan's coaching decisions, regarding both rotation and late-game execution. How can this (hopefully still) playoff-bound team lose to a Knicks team already on death's door? Especially when they get nothing from Julius Randle and miss a ton of free throws? Turnovers, surrendering second chance points and bad defense, that's how. The guys lighten the mood with a trip down memory lane, recalling iconic Michael Jordan performances from March 28th. Then they wrap up the show checking in with Will Gottlieb and hearing what Billy Donovan and his players had to say following the loss.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Zach LaVine led the Bulls with 24 points, and all 5 starters scored in double figures.

Ep 210CHGO Bulls Podcast: Zach LaVine's 39 not enough as Pelicans 4th quarter surge beats Bulls
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 126-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday night. Zach LaVine scored with ease and efficiency all night in the absence of DeMar DeRozan, but it wasn't enough. While Zach got an early 4th quarter rest, the Pelicans went on a deadly run led by Jose Alvarado. Nikola Vucevic had a strong first half, but essentially disappeared after halftime. Coby White bounced back from a rough start to finish with 23 points off the bench, but the Bulls defense continues to fail to get stops when they're needed. The guys also have some fun taking a look at happenings around the NBA on Wednesday and Thursday night.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, deposit $50+ and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

On today’s episode, Matt, Big Dave, Will & Mark discuss the Bulls’ issue of being soft when they take a punch, like they did in Milwaukee last night. Why isn’t there any fight to this team, and is that something they can fix before the playoffs arrive?

Ep 208CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Blown Out by Bucks to Drop to 0-16 vs NBA's Elite
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 126-98 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night. After a 20-20 back and forth battle to begin the game, the Bulls offense went cold and it affected their focus and effort on defense. Sadly, that's been a common story this season. The defending champs wasted no time running them off the floor. Any time the Bulls tried to make a run from that late first quarter stint on, the Bucks had an answer.

On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 113-99 win over the Toronto Raptors on Monday night. Zach LaVine exploded for a 16-point 3rd quarter after a shaky start to this one, and the Bulls didn't look back after seizing control with that run led by Zach. Patrick Williams looked confident in his return after a near season-long absence. Alex Caruso got the start over Ayo Dosunmu, which could continue in the games to come per Billy Donovan. The Bulls defense was another big key tonight, as they scored 29 points off of Toronto's turnovers.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, deposit $50+ and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000, an annual CHGO membership and a free shirt!

Ep 201CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Comeback Falls Short vs Kings
On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 112-103 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.

They managed to trim a 20-point halftime deficit down to 1 in the 4th quarter, but didn't quite have enough left to get over the hump.

On today's episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 114-108 win over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. DeMar DeRozan got back to his dominant 4th quarter ways, the Bulls defense clamped down when it counted, and they were able to get back into the win column after a 5-game losing streak. The Bulls got a big boost with the return of Nikola Vucevic back into the starting lineup after missing Monday's game with a hamstring injury. Ayo Dosunmu displayed some excellent defense on Cade Cunningham, but Cade still shined in his moments. The guys also revisit the Jerami Grant trade rumors now that we're well past the trade deadline to wonder what might have been.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_SportsInstagram: @CHGO_SportsVisit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Risk Free Bets up to $2000!Mobile registration in Illinois is here!

Nikola Vucevic was ruled out shortly before tipoff so Tristan Thompson and Tony Bradley were tasked with covering Joel Embiid. Embiid went off for 43 points in another MVP-caliber performance. DeMar DeRozan continued his recent skid on his shooting efficiency, and the Bulls didn't have enough past his 23 points and Zach LaVine's 24.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, hosts Mark (@mkhoops) and Will (@wontgottlieb) dive into the team's recent form and ponder if the current indicators should force the team into a trade prior to the deadline. The Bulls have been connected to Jacob Poeltl and Dennis Schroeder. The lads chat about the validity of these reports and if these are the type of players the Bulls should be targeting. Of course, as is the case this time of year, the conversation turns to speculative thoughts without any foundation!

Ep 185Is Ayo the best Bulls rookie since Derrick Rose?
Despite key personnel missing from their rotation, the Bulls continue to find way to win games. On a new episode of BullsHQ, hosts Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) and Will Gottlieb (@wontgottlieb) detail how the Bulls have been winning games with their offense, especially as the defensive output has faded of late. The Bulls sit atop of the East, but is the current winning trends sustainable past the trade deadline? Perhaps it is if rookie guard Ayo Dosunmu maintains the level of play we're witnessing at present. On the show, the guys praise Ayo for his naming to the Rising Stars game during the All-Star weekend, as well as pondering if the rookie is the unlikely saviour this Bulls season needed amidst all the injuries. To close the show, Mark and Will discuss Zach LaVine's play since returning from injury, before ending the program with a rant about the team's defense and why center Nikola Vucevic shouldn't be scapegoated for team-wide mistakes.

Ep 184Ayo, Bulls narrowly defeat the Thunder
It's been a rough few days being a Bulls fan, but fortunately for us, Ayo Dosunmu continued to show out and prove why he's been a true find. On a new episode of BullsHQ, hosts Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) and Will Gottlieb (@wontgottlieb) detail the Bulls' win against the Thunder, one that may not have come to pass if not for Bulls rookie having a career-best performance. Despite Ayo's individual brilliance, the Bulls did their best to let OKC back in the game. Whilst this was disappointing, we did get a good Nikola Vucevic game. The lads breakdown his performance and cover off whether this was a flash in the pan performance, or perhaps the start of a new, more promising trend. Of course, one good Vooch game didn't stop the conversation about his availability at the trade deadline. His Vooch someone the Bulls will look to move at the deadline? More broadly, after the injuries to Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball, will their long absence change how the Bulls approach the trade deadline? Will the team be more inclined to make a move, or be more conservative and stand Pat? (pun intended) As mentioned on the show, Will has thrown himself back into the content creating game by starting up his own Substack page.

Ep 183Bulls lose LaVine, Four Games in a Row
BullsHQ meets Cash Considerations on this crossover edition of the podcast. Jason Patt (@Bulls_Jay) jumps on the mic with Mark (@mkhoops) and Will (@wontgottlieb) to discuss the Bulls' fourth loss in a row to the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as the team's recent poor form that has seen them continue to lose games, momentum, and players to injuries. On the show, the guys discuss whether the Bulls' recent stretch of games should have us reconsider our previous stance as the team being a bonafide contender. Furthermore, has the team's performance emphasised the need to make a big, all-in swing at the deadline, or reinforced the need to stay with the young guys? Coby White and Ayo Donsunmu continue to play fantastic basketball, with the latter continually redefining what his career arc may look like. How good can Donsunmu be? When he reaches his peak, which player best compares to his game? Despite their recent slide, the Bulls remain atop of the East. But for how long? Without Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball, the lads close the show by looking to the week ahead, which sees the Bulls match up against the Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks.

Ep 182Bulls Humbled by Nets
Live on Spotify Greenroom, Mark and Will instantly react to the Bulls being outclassed by the Brooklyn Nets. On BullsHQ, despite the embarrassing loss, the takes remained as measured as possible, with this singular game not being a referendum on the disparity between the Bulls and Nets. Furthermore, Mark argues why the absence of Alex Caruso and Javonte Green truly matters in a matchup against the Nets, and Will reaffirms his position that the Bulls need to go all-in and make a deal for another high-level player. Also on the show, the lads discuss reports pertaining to the Bulls being willing to deal Coby White but not Patrick Williams, the possibilities the Portland Trailblazers and Los Angeles Clippers being sellers at the deadline, and if so, whether the Bulls should come knocking for any of their players at the deadline.

Ep 181Cometh DeHour, Cometh DeMar
DeMar DeRozan ends 2021 on a game-winner and decided to start 2022 on the same note. In what was a historic performance from the Bulls forward, Mark and Will try to wrap their heads around the level of performance we're seeing from DeRozan this season, wondering if we all have recognised just how insanely good he has been in the moment. DeRozan may have finished these games off, but in many respects, it's been Coby White who's been carrying the Bulls these past few games. The lads heap some well-earned praise on White, who continues to put together a good collection of games, leading to an obvious question: Does this level of performance mean the Bulls should keep Coby around, or is he just upping his trade value? In a somewhat related topic, the most recent edition of the Lowe Post discussed the merit of the Bulls trading for Pistons forward Jerami Grant. Mark and Will react to this conversation, whilst offering up their own thoughts on the merits of trading for Grant at the deadline. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 180Bulls Big Three Demolish the Hawks
On a new episode of BullsHQ, hosts Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) and Will Gottlieb (@wontgottlieb) revel in the amazing performances of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic in the Bulls' 130-118 win against the Atlanta Hawks. Vooch has found his form, and if this level of play is an indication he's back, the Bulls are a serious threat in the East. Mark and Will detail how good Vucevic has been, specifically on defense and as a passer. Also on the show, with LaVine and DeRozan combining for 65 points against the Hawks, it's time to start respecting how good tis duo has been as a tandem, and why both playing at a top-20 level should give the Bulls even more reason to lean into a win-now approach. Finally, some love for Ayo Dosunmu, Javonte Green and Coby White, all of whom found a way to contribute and influence the result of the game. Learn more about your ad choices.

Ep 179Is it Time to Explore Moving on from Vucevic?
COVID continues to ravage the Bulls lineup, this time with Zach LaVine and Troy Brown Jr. enter the NBA health and safety protocol, joining seven of their teammates on the sidelines. On a new episode of BullsHQ, Mark (@mkhoops) and Will (@wontgottlieb) are joined by Stephen Noh (@stephnoh) to discuss the latest health issues plaguing the Bulls, taking aim specifically at the NBA for allowing the Bulls to continue toiling their way through the schedule, despite an outbreak within the locker room. Later in the show, the guys get into the on-court product, specifically the performance of Nikola Vucevic, who continues with his run of poor play. Is what we're seeing from Vucevic a shooting slump or the new normal? If the latter, should the Bulls seriously explore moving on from and trading Vucevic? If so, what potential options should the Bulls explore? Is there anything more the Bulls can do to get Vooch going? We discuss all that and more, including Stephen's next move within his writing career. Come be part of the BullsHQ Discord and chat about the team with other BullsHQ listeners.

Later in the show, the lads get into the game action from the Bulls' impressive wins against the Hornets, Knicks and Nets, including DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine continuing to show why their pairing has been perfectly seamless, and why now is the right time for the Bulls to go all in on a win-now move via trade.

Ep 177Should We Be Concerned About These Ls?
After a hot start to the season, the Bulls have dropped three of their last four. Should we be concerned about the team's recent form? Mark and Will detail the issues plaguing the team, most of which stem on the offensive end, and were highly visible for all to see against the Miami Heat on Saturday night. Scoring in the halfcourt remains a problem, primarily against trapping and zone defenses. The lads discuss the Bulls have a viable options against these defensive schemes, and if the answer involves Nikola Vucevic finding form, how can the coach Billy Donovan extract the best of a struggling Vucevic? Also on the show, Mark and Will ponder if Zach LaVine has actually met lofty expectations placed upon, why LaVine's on/off metrics this season are poor, and much more.

EOn a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark K (@mkhoops) is joined by Rusty Buckets (@RustyBUCKETS321) to discuss the Bulls' loss to the Portland Trailblazers; The Bulls had 10 turnover in the third quarter against Portland, a key factor for the loss. Mark and Rusty discuss this, as well as the center rotation without Nikola Vucevic, the merits of small ball, and if another big man needs to be brought in. Also on the show, some quick hitting convos about Coby White return to the lineup, if what DeMar DeRozan is doing is sustainable, where the Bulls would be without Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso, and if the Bulls can finish their west coast road trip with a win against the Nuggets.

Ep 174Bulls atop of the East, Vucevic out for Road Trip
On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Morten Jensen (@msjnba) to discuss the breaking news surrounding Bulls center Nikola Vucevic entering the healthy and safety protocols, forcing him away from the team for 10 days. How the Bulls handle the absence of Vucevic on the upcoming 5-game west coast road trip will be fascinating. Mark and Morten get into how the Bulls can try to counter the loss of Vooch, including some funky lineup ideas with no center on the floor, specifically against smaller teams like the Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers. Whilst Vucevic may be out, Coby White is closer to returning to the lineup, possibly as soon as the next few games. Mark and Morten discuss how Coby can re-enter the rotation, and how he is playable next to versatile guards like Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball. On Caruso and Ball, many superlatives were given! These two guards have changed the Bulls dramatically, and deservedly so, some shine were put upon them. Finally, to close the show, some praise for coach Billy Donovan, and why his presence and coaching form should give Bulls fans optimism that even without Vucevic, that Donovan will find a way to get the Bulls some sneaky good wins.

Also on the show, a discussion on the Bulls' loss to the Knicks, the deficiencies within the team's offense at present, if DeRozan taking the final shot over LaVine was justified, and some love for Joakim Noah.

On the show, Mark and Kris discuss the Bulls' winning ways in preseason, focusing which elements of play we've seen thus far should carry over from preseason to regular season.
