CHGO Bulls Podcast: Evaluating the 2021-22 Bulls Season, and What Happens Next? Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

The Chicago Bulls 2021-22 season ended with a 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, so what happens next? Will Zach LaVine having offseason knee surgery impact the front office's decision to sign him to a long-term deal? Just how serious is the situation with Lonzo Ball and his knee injury? Which Bulls players impressed us with their play this season, and which ones left us wanting more? Assuming the core remains intact next season, what kind of fringe roster moves should Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley make to compliment the current pieces and push the team closer to being a real contender? Will Coby White and Nikola Vucevic still be here when next season tips off? Matt and Big Dave are joined by Kyle Williams to discuss all these topics and more.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Season Ends with Loss to Bucks in Game 5 Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 116-100 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 on Wednesday night, ending the Bulls 2021-22 season. Without the services of Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso, the Bulls continued their three-point shooting woes in Game 5 as the Bucks jumped out to an early lead and controlled the game from wire to wire. The Bulls shot a franchise-record 52 threes, making just 15 of them. The Bucks stuck with their strategy of daring anyone other than DeMar DeRozan to beat them, and it worked again to perfection. Where do the Bulls go from here, and what moves might the front office make this offseason to improve the roster and push them closer to championship contention?

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Appear Doomed by Awful Shooting and Point-Center Giannis Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

The Bulls are in big trouble, trailing the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks 3-1 in their first round playoff series. DeMar DeRozan has no room to get to the basket, seeing regular double teams and giant Bucks defenders packing the paint. Unfortunately, not enough Bulls role players are hitting the open shots that this Bucks defense is giving them. And now, Zach LaVine has been placed in health and safety protocols, almost guaranteed to rule him out for Game 5. Coupled with that is the unsolvable problem of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is perfectly carving the Bulls defense through either brute force or his impressive passing out of double teams. And his teammates are making their shots. Is there any way the Bulls can pull off a Game 5 win to keep the series and their season alive? Matt, Big Dave & Will break it down in today’s episode.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls on brink of elimination with Game 4 loss to Bucks Apr 24, 2022

Show notes

The guys break down the Bulls 119-95 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 on Sunday. Giannis Antetokounmpo manipulated the Bulls defense to perfection, dominating physically at times and dishing out to shooters at others on his way to 32 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists. Zach LaVine started hot for the Bulls, and had his best game of the series with 24 points and 13 assists. But DeMar DeRozan had another tough shooting game (8-20) and none of the Bulls' supporting cast stepped up until it was too late. Matt and Big Dave also discuss how Bulls fans should view this series (and season) if Game 5 is the end, and what this roster needs this offseason.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Blown Out by Bucks in Game 3 Apr 23, 2022

Show notes

Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 111-81 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 on Friday night. The Bucks jumped on the Bulls from the start, drilling threes and preventing the Bulls from getting the looks they wanted on offense. DeMar DeRozan only took nine shots following his 41-point Game 2, Zach LaVine looked uncomfortable and the Bulls bench gave them next to nothing. Patrick Williams also had a dud night after an encouraging performance in Game 2. This was a rude wake-up call for the Bulls, who will now try to even the series in Game 4 on Sunday.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: DeMar DeRozan vs Giannis and Billy Donovan shortens the bench Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Matt, Big Dave, Will & Mark discuss DeMar DeRozan's dominant performance matched up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Billy Donovan's shorter bench in the Bulls' Game 2 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. DeRozan hit 8 of his 9 shots with Giannis as his primary defender on Wednesday night on his way to a playoff career-high 41 points. Will Giannis and the Bucks be more aggressive with DeMar in Game 3? Also, the Bulls reserves played significantly fewer minutes in Game 2 than in Game 1. Should we expect to see a continuation of that trend as the series shifts to Chicago? The guys weigh costs and benefits of Billy leaning on his starters for extra minutes vs using bench-heavy lineups for longer stretches. They wrap up the show discussing the flawed and overused trope of Zach LaVine not being a "team first" player.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: DeMar DeRozan's 41-point night leads Bulls to Game 2 victory over Bucks Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 114-110 win over the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 2 of their first round playoff series. True to his word, DeMar DeRozan bounced back from a rough shooting night in Game 1 with a 41-point masterpiece. Nikola Vucevic also had a strong response, scoring 24 points and hitting 4 of his 8 three-point attempts and playing engaged defense. Bulls role players stepped up too, from Alex Caruso's tenacious defense to Patrick Williams grabbing key rebounds. The Bulls now return home for Games 3 and 4 at the United Center with the series tied 1-1.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: What Adjustments Will Bulls Make for Game 2 vs Bucks? Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Matt, Big Dave & Will discuss what offensive and defensive changes the Bulls might make for Game 2 against the Milwaukee Bucks. How much of the Bucks' struggles to score in Game 1 should be credited to the Bulls defense, and what do they need to do better? Should the Bulls stick with a similar offensive game plan to Game 1? They may have pulled out the win had their big three of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic not all shot very poorly. The guys also offer their thoughts on whether Billy Donovan should alter his rotation from Game 1.
