The CHGO Bulls crew break down the season-ending press conference from Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas. Following the team’s lopsided elimination loss to the Miami Heat on Friday, Arturas finally admitted to the media, and fans, that this roster is not good enough and that changes are needed. Though he still didn’t have any clear answers for how those changes will take shape, other than suggesting he will be aggressive with drafting, trades and free agency. Should Bulls fans buy what AK just...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 112-91 loss to the Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Friday night. After hopes were raised with their dominant win over the Hawks, the Bulls proved once again just how consistently inconsistent they are. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the pathetic offensive output by the Bulls, who couldn't knock down shots to overcome the Heat's zone defense and double-teams of DeMar DeRozan. Plus, the guys have a wide-ranging conversation about the state...

The CHGO Bulls crew dive deep into the matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks for the win-or-go-home Play-In Tournament game on Wednesday night! The Bulls took 2 of 3 games in their season series vs Atlanta, with DeMar DeRozan leading the way. Trae Young is back in action for the Hawks, but both teams are still missing several of their key players. The availability of Ayo Dosunmu and Andre Drummond is still undetermined. Their presence, or lack thereof, will play a huge role in...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 120-119 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Plus, the guys discuss the playoff picture taking shape in both the East and West, and which teams and series they're excited to watch. Will joins...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 129-127 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday night.

Dalen Terry and Jevon Carter also went crazy with their increased minutes. Big Dave...

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the latest movement in the Eastern Conference standings as we near the conclusion of the NBA’s regular season. As it stands, the Bulls would play the loser between Philadelphia and Miami in the #7 vs #8 Play-In Tournament game, if they beat Atlanta first. The Bulls were eliminated by the Heat in last season’s second Play-In game. The Bulls had some success against both teams this season, splitting 2-2 with the Heat and taking 2 of 3 games from the 76ers. Also,...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 128-117 loss to the New York Knicks on Tuesday night. This was a wild one, with the Bulls' sloppy play peaking with an inexplicable failed fastbreak by Torrey Craig and Andre Drummond. Matt and Big Dave discuss the egregious decision-making, and the consequences with Andre Drummond's injury. Plus, Coby White and Nikola Vucevic both had more efficient nights scoring, but nobody could stop Jalen Brunson. Will joins the guys from the United Center to...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 113-98 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night. The low volume and efficiency behind the three-point line was familiar. What made it worse was the uncharacteristic 21 Bulls turnovers, which led to 28 points for Orlando. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss another underwhelming night for Coby White, who played after leaving their Friday game with another injury. Plus, is this the least effective version of Nikola Vucevic we've seen since Arturas...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 108-100 win over the New York Knicks on Friday night. Coby White left the game in the first half with a sprained ankle, but Javonte Green and Ayo Dosunmu provided enough of a spark to lead the Bulls to victory. Matt and Big Dave discuss Javonte's big night, setting career-high totals in both points and rebounds. Plus, Ayo continued his trend of pacing the Bulls offensively out of the gate, scoring 17 first-half points. Will joins the guys from the...

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss one the Bulls’ biggest issues this season: the compounded problem of inconsistent three-point shooting while giving up way too many good looks beyond the arc to their opponents. The Bulls allowed a lot of open threes to their opponents last season too, but still managed to have a top-five defense. So what has changed, exactly? The numbers are alarming, and the trend is too strong to ignore. Matt, Big Dave and Will analyze the numbers, react to some of Billy...

The CHGO Bulls crew react to Thursday’s news that the Bulls signed Javonte Green to a contract for the remainder of the 2023-24 season. After completing his 10-day contract, in which he played well in three games off the bench, Javonte earned a spot on the 15-man roster for the final six games of the regular season, and a potential playoff run. The Bulls waived Terry Taylor to free the roster spot for Green. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the implications of the move. Plus, the guys compare...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 113-101 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. One night after some great three-point shooting in a win over Minnesota, the Bulls went ice cold in a game with huge implications.

Matt and Big Dave discuss their mounting frustration with the Bulls not only having bad shooting nights, but failing to guard the three-point line all season. Will joins the guys from the United...

Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss Billy Donovan's continued reliance on high volumes of usage for DeMar and Nikola Vucevic. Plus, what should we make of Donovan regularly...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 125-108 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Friday night. This game's script was eerily similar to a Bulls loss to the Nets back in November, in that the Nets hit an opponent season-high 25 three-pointers! Matt and Will discuss the math problem that continues to plague the Bulls, and did tonight to the tune of a 48-point spread behind the arc. Plus, Billy Donovan tinkered with his rotation tonight. Onuralp Bitim's minutes continue to shrink, while Dalen Terry...

Plus, Coby White's shooting slump coming off...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 124-113 loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. DeMar DeRozan scored 28 to lead Chicago, who had a season-high 36 assists. But even with a strong offensive effort, the #1 seed Celtics, shorthanded as they were, still proved to be too much. Matt and guest co-host Kyle Williams also analyze the games from Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, Dalen Terry and Nikola Vucevic. Will joins the guys from the United Center to offer his thoughts on the game and...
