Jason and Ricky go to town on the Bulls and Arturas Karnisovas after their embarrassing season-ending play-in loss to the Heat without Jimmy Butler. It's clear the Bulls need to go in a new direction, and AK should be fired for his inactivity since the Lonzo Ball injury despite years of mediocrity. Interested in advertising on this podcast?

Jason and Ricky discuss the Bulls' dominant victory over the Hawks in the 9/10 play-in game. Chicago put forth an outstanding team performance against an Atlanta team that looked ready for Cancun for much of the night, led by Coby White's career-high 42 points (yes, we're counting it). While Alex Caruso's status is up in the air after Andre Drummond ran into him, the Bulls have a prime opportunity to secure the 8-seed against a Heat team that likely won't have Jimmy Butler available....

It was yet another clutch comeback win in a season full of them as DeMar DeRozan and Coby White continue their crunch-time magic. But while the resiliency is impressive, will the front office learn the wrong lessons from the season? Plus, White isn't the only young Bull impressing, with Ayo Dosunmu's growth shining through in 2024.  Interested in...

Ricky is back to talk with Jason about an eventful start to the week in the NBA as the trade deadline approaches. The Bulls played some of their best basketball of the season while building a 23-point lead against the Suns, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion thanks to Kevin Durant's heroics. The next day, the Heat traded for Terry Rozier and the Bucks fired Adrian Griffin, with Doc Rivers the targeted replacement. We discuss all of it and the depressing Zach LaVine trade situation as he...

Unfortunately, the Bulls ran out of gas and dropped to 15-21 on the season with Zach LaVine set to return to the lineup.

Jason and Ricky talk after the Bulls' 19-point win over the Spurs, which followed big wins over the Sixers and Lakers.
