Show notes

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) returns to rave about the Bulls' recent winning form.
On the show, Mark praises the work Billy Donovan has done to date, and how his impact on both sides of the floor as truly changed the scope of this Bulls team.
From there, Mark calls for lead executive Arturas Karnisovas to make moves at the deadline, specifically those that make the team better, rewarding the growth of Zach LaVine by adding more good players to him now, rather than trading away Thad Young and the veterans.

Will a Consistent Lauri Markkanen Ever Emerge? Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) to react to the Bulls loss to Tom Thibodeau and the New York Knicks.
On the show, Mark and Fred dive into:

The inconsistent performances from Lauri Markkanen
The sub-par point guard play from Coby White
How good is this Bulls team without the veterans, and is this good Bulls season to date driven too much by veterans, less so the young, talented players?
Whether the Bulls should trade for Lonzo Ball
Thinking even larger, if the Bulls should go all in and chase Bradley Beal via trade, pairing him with Zach LaVine, the veterans, trying to push toward the playoffs

Billy Donovan is Building these Bulls Jan 20, 2021

Show notes

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Stephen Noh (@stephnoh) to discuss the Bulls' surprisingly good play this season, focussing specifically on the schematic changes Billy Donovan has made on both sides of the ball, and how that has positively impacted the Bulls.
On the show, Mark and Stephen dive deep into the shifts on offense; how the shot profile has changed under Donovan; the terrific ball movement under Donovan and how he has extracted this level of performance despite the team being untouched; if this offensive growth is legitimate or an unsustainable hot shooting stretch of games; why the same growth on offense hasn't been replicated on defense; the continued, year-on-year development of Zach LaVine, and if the narrative should shift from trading LaVine to building with and around him.
