The Brooklyn Nets walloped the Chicago Bulls last night, but people need to relax! One regular season game doesn't change the narrative or make the Bulls less of a contender, something the lads try to ram home on the show. From there, the conversation moves to the NBA trade deadline, with questions asked about whether Patrick Williams or Coby White should be moved, if Jerami Grant solves the Bulls' Nets problem, if the Bulls should pursue PJ Washington, and much.

With Fred and Mark out for the week, I discuss Coby White's outstanding play and the impact this has on the trade deadline and Bulls long term decision making as well as throw a bunch of flowers at the Front Office for their brilliance this off-season.

The Bulls play the Hawks twice in one week, and on both occasions, it was Chicago that proved too good for Atlanta. Sure, the Hawks had most of their players in health and safety protocols, but Nikola Vucevic has looked awesome the past five games, which begs the question: Is Vooch all the way back from his season-long slump? The lads discuss if this is the case, as well as pondering where the Bulls' big 4 of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Vucevic, and Lonzo Ball compare to other foursomes...

Mark and Fred are on holiday, so you are left with a classic, Doug Thonus solo Bulls Beat today.  I discuss coming to terms with the Vucevic trade, how AKME may deal with mistakes in the future, and the league's shifting stance on COVID testing, and no Bulls Beat would be complete without a special story time.

With two games postponed and most of the roster remaining in health and safety protocols, there hasn't been development for our Chicago Bulls this week.  So, with little news to discuss, naturally, Doug, Mark and Fred get into the most pressing topic: arguing about the Nikola Vucevic trade for the millionth time. Doug wasn't a fan of the trade at the time it occurred, and continues to voice his concern with the trade, whilst Mark tries to fly the flag for Karnisovas, suggesting the trade...

Doug, Mark and Fred are back with a new episode of the Bulls Beat, and given the number of Bulls players entering the NBA's health and safety protocols, naturally, the podcast begins with this pressing topic. Can the Bulls navigate through this period without five rotation players? Should the league even be letting the Bulls play games when half their rotation is out? Worse still, why are they playing if they could be passing on the virus to other teams? From there, the lads get into the...

The Bulls score an impressive win against the Charlotte Hornets, and did so on the back of Nikola Vucevic having his best game of the season. On the Bulls Beat, the fellas get into Vooch's return to form, how the Bulls should use him going forward to ensure he continues to play like this, debating the merit of posting the center up more for touches. Also on the show, a discussion on how long the Bulls should persist with an inconsistent Coby White; ways the Bulls can improve their output...

The Bulls loss to the Pacers had See Red Fred enraged, so much so he couldn't bear to join Doug and Mark on the Bulls Beat. Instead, Doug and Mark play a two-man game, covering the following topics: The loss to the Pacers and why this loss an outlier performance that should cause no concern Why DeMar DeRozan has a real case for being the most important player on the team Comparing the Bulls of this season to last year's Phoenix Suns Why we should consider the Bulls a defense-first...

Two games in Los Angeles, two fantastic win for the Chicago Bulls. On a new episode of the Bulls Beat, the lads discuss the Bulls’ impressive wins against the Clippers and Lakers, including the work Billy Donovan has done to make key adjustments without Nikola Vucevic. The guys also discuss whether Alex Caruso should continue to start, the embarrassing roster the Lakers have surrounded LeBron James and Anthony Davis with, and how the Lakers passing on Caruso and DeMar DeRozan has been to...

The Bulls beat the Brooklyn Nets, which begs the obvious question: Are the Bulls the new Kings of the East? On a new Bulls Beat, Doug, Mark and Fred discuss the way the current landscape is shaping up, which, at present, has no dominant team, thus leaving the door ajar for a team like the Bulls to sneak in an unlikely title run. After his fantastic performance against the Nets, Fred waxes poetic about Ayo Dosunmu, as well as slandering those people who hated the Ayo draft pick.  In...

Two extremely impressive wins against the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics have Doug, Mark and Fred in a very good mood. The lads posit if there needs to be a collective adjustment made on how good this Bulls team actually can be in a wide-open title fight. Also on the show, some love for DeMar DeRozan, who has been instrumental in carrying the Bulls whilst Zach LaVine learns to live with a thumb injury.  The platitudes don't stop there, with some early Billy Donovan coach of the year...

The Bulls Beat is back, this time with friends! In a new show format, Doug (@Doug_Thonus) welcomes in new co-hosts of the show, Mark K (@mkhoops) and Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred). The trio discuss the Bulls' perfect record to start the season, the areas the team needs to improve on if they're to continue taking the league by storm, a necessary conversation on Patrick Williams' poor play, and so much more.  

I discuss the Bulls fit, remaining FA space available and cap outlook going forward.

I discuss the Bulls signings (Lonzo, Caruso, DeMar) and the Ayo draft pick.   DeMar addendum added onto the original podcast from this morning.

K.C. Johnson joins the show to discuss what the Bulls can, will, and should do this off-season as well as the Coby White injury and how it may impact the Bulls plans.

Who doesn't love a plan named after a specific year?  When has such a plan ever gone wrong?  I briefly discuss the disappointing end to the Bulls season, what they should do in the off-season, and how they can legitimately position themselves to add that third star player.

I break down the fallacies people use to discuss why the Bulls won this trade including overrating Nikola Vucevic, underrating the assets we gave to acquire him, the synergies we may gain with this pairing, and the difficulties that will come up in making the next move.  

I discuss why I am on an island of not loving the Bulls deadline moves and what options they have left to make the next move to improve the team. 

I discuss the limited options for the Bulls at the deadline and why we shouldn't be surprised if the Bulls stand pat as they chase the bottom rung of the playoffs. 

The Bulls sit at 2-3 through 5 games against the mediocre 7.  I discuss what the Bulls should be thinking about to build a champion moving forward. 

Michael and I discuss the disappointing Blazers loss as well as the future of the core.
