Bulls Big 3 of LaVine, DeRozan & Vucevic Dominate Hawks for 4th Straight Win Dec 28, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls' win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan notched 30-point games for the 10th and 9th times respectively this season. And Nikola Vucevic had another strong night in his climb back from a slump with 24 points, 17 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks. The Bulls bench continues to fluctuate because of protocols and injuries, but they got solid contributions from Matt Thomas and Ayo Dosunmu. What will Billy Donovan do to find minutes for Ayo and Coby White - who bounced back from a bad start with a strong 3rd quarter - when Lonzo Ball returns from protocols?

Bulls Beat Rockets as Coby White Erupts for 24 Points Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the Bulls 133-118 win over the Houston Rockets on Monday night, thanks to a big night from Coby White and the patched-together Bulls bench mob. Coby White has struggled to find a rhythm this season after returning from shoulder surgery and missing time in protocols. But he came up big tonight for a Bulls team that has needed some scoring punch off the bench. Tyler Cook, Devon Dotson and Alfonzo McKinnie also had strong minutes off the bench despite their status as two-way players and a 10-day contract guy. Lonzo Ball continues to do it all for the Bulls, and proves why the front office was so aggressive in getting him this offseason.

DeMar DeRozan Dominates in Return as Bulls Sweep Lakers Dec 20, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls' victory over the Lakers on Sunday night, led by another monster game from DeMar DeRozan in his first game back from protocols. The King of the Fourth dropped 38 on L.A., including 19 points in the 4th quarter and a huge shot over LeBron James in the final minute of a tight game. After the game, DeMar explained how he lives for those moments. The Bulls got solid supporting nights from Lonzo Ball and Nikola Vucevic, who each chipped in 19 points. Lonzo continues to play heavy minutes for the shorthanded roster, and Vooch knocked down timely shots as he tries to break out of his slump. Coby White struggled in his first game back from protocols, and the Bulls bench desperately needs his offensive production as they still have several players out. Speaking of, the Bulls re-signed Alfonzo McKinnie to a fresh 10-day contract Monday morning.

Report Says Bulls Will Be Buyers at the NBA Trade Deadline Dec 17, 2021

Show notes

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave discuss a recent report labeling the Bulls as "buyers" at this season's trade deadline, and kick around a few trade ideas from the text line. Matt Moore of Action Network recently reported that the Bulls will be buyers before the deadline, but not at the position Bulls fans might assume. The guys also break down some trade ideas from the text line. One listener wants the Bulls to go after an elite rim protector, like Myles Turner or Chris Boucher, to make the Bulls a truly elite defensive squad. Another listener proposes a three-team trade with the Sacramento Kings and Philadelphia 76ers that has the Bulls landing Harrison Barnes.
