CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Fall to Top Competition Again as Heat Catch Fire Apr 03, 2022

Show notes

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.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Rally Past Clippers in Overtime Thanks to 50 from DeMar DeRozan Apr 01, 2022

Show notes

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.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: DeMar DeRozan & Nikola Vucevic lead Bulls to vital victory over Wizards Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

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.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Can't Complete Comeback, Take Awful Loss to Knicks Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

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.

Show notes

On this episode, Matt, Big Dave & Will are joined by John Sabine to break down the Bulls 98-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.

The team's collective defensive effort was much improved from earlier this week in losses to Milwaukee and New Orleans.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Zach LaVine's 39 not enough as Pelicans 4th quarter surge beats Bulls Mar 25, 2022

Show notes

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.
