Zach LaVine's Mystery Appointment & DeMar DeRozan's GQ Interview Feb 16, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave talk about the latest "updates" regarding the status of Zach LaVine's knee injury and DeMar DeRozan's GQ interview. Zach LaVine went to L.A. to see his old doctor who performed surgery after his ACL tear to get another opinion on the recent discomfort in his left knee. Will that consultation provide any different results, or perhaps just peace of mind for Zach? The guys also talk DeMar's interview with GQ about this season and his career journey, plus the news that the Bulls recalled Marko Simonovic from Windy City.

DeMar DeRozan Leads Bulls to Wins Over Timberwolves and Thunder Feb 14, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down a busy Bulls weekend with wins over Minnesota and Oklahoma City, plus more good news and bad news on the injury front. Anthony Edwards cooked the Bulls on Friday night, but Coby White hit some big shots, DeMar DeRozan was his stellar self and Javonte Green exploded for 23 points in a Bulls win. Zach LaVine played 37 minutes but looked uncomfortable, and ended up sitting out of the game vs OKC on Saturday. He flew to L.A. to get a second opinion on his knee injury, and perhaps the best thing for him and the Bulls would be an extended All Star break with no activity. The Bulls got off to a slow start against the Thunder, but DeMar's 6th straight 30-point game and another quality night from Nikola Vucevic was enough to beat the Thunder. Javonte is now out again - hopefully briefly - and Derrick Jones Jr made a surprising early return in the latest turns of the Bulls injuries carousel.

DeMar DeRozan Dazzles as Bulls Beat Hornets Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 121-109 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night. DeMar DeRozan is flat-out unstoppable, posting his 4th straight game with 30+ points. Zach LaVine had it going from downtown, as he tends to do in Charlotte, and Nikola Vucevic chipped in with a near triple double. Coby White stepped into the starting lineup for Ayo Dosunmu and showed some nice stuff on both ends of the floor. Will the Bulls make a move before the deadline on Thursday?

Bulls Disastrous Defense Picked Apart By Suns Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 127-124 loss to the NBA-best Phoenix Suns. Devin Booker shot red hot out of the gate, Chris Paul orchestrated the offense to perfection and the Bulls couldn't keep up despite getting 70 points combined from DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine. The ugly truth is that this Bulls defense is bad and will continue to be until Alex Caruso and Lonzo Ball return from their injuries.

DeMar DeRozan Explodes for 45 Points, but Bulls Lose to 76ers Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 119-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday afternoon. DeMar DeRozan scored 45 points in 41 minutes, but there wasn't enough help from his shorthanded supporting cast. Joel Embiid continued his dominant season with 40 points of his own, and the Sixers role players were able to knock down enough shots. The guys also touch on the win over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, which featured a monster game from Nikola Vucevic and a monster dunk from Ayo Dosunmu. And what should Bulls fans expect to happen between now and the NBA trade deadline on Thursday?

Bulls Lose OT Heartbreaker to Raptors as Zach LaVine's Back Problem Worsens Feb 04, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 127-120 overtime loss to the Toronto Raptors on Thursday night. Nikola Vucevic had a monster night with 30 points and 18 rebounds, but the Bulls struggled to control the defensive boards. The Raptors capitalized on 22 offensive rebounds, including some big ones late in the 4th quarter and overtime. Is rebounding help on the way before the deadline? Zach LaVine played 42 minutes but only took 10 shots, and admitted after the game that his back is really bothering him. Should Billy Donovan consider giving him some nights off between now and the All Star break? And it was a tough final stretch for Ayo Dosunmu on Thursday night, with key turnovers and one big defensive breakdown between him, Zach and Vooch. Growing pains from the rookie.

Bulls Linked to Dennis Schroder as NBA Trade Deadline Nears Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the latest NBA trade deadline buzz, including Bulls connections to Celtics guard Dennis Schroder and Nets forward Paul Millsap. Schroder played for Billy Donovan with the Thunder, and he could be useful during the absences of Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso. But what happens when they come back? And is Paul Millsap the right fit for this Bulls roster? The guys also discuss some other names among NBA big men who could be attainable before the deadline including Thomas Bryant, Montrezl Harrell and Nerlens Noel.
