CHGO Chicago Bulls Podcast

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 112-91 loss to the Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament on Friday night. After hopes were raised with their dominant win over the Hawks, the Bulls proved once again just how consistently inconsistent they are. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the pathetic offensive output by the Bulls, who couldn't knock down shots to overcome the Heat's zone defense and double-teams of DeMar DeRozan. Plus, the guys have a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the franchise entering this offseason. Is Billy Donovan the problem? Is Arturas Karnisovas on a...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat in the NBA Play-In Tournament with a playoff birth on the line!

What, if anything, can we learn from the teams’ regular season series? The Bulls and Heat split 2-2 this season, but all four games were played from November to December when both teams looked a lot different than they do now. Matt, Big Dave and Will analyze the Heat’s streng...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 131-116 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the Play-In Tournament on Wednesday night.

Matt and Big Dave discuss what a game like this from Coby - especially on this stage - means for him and the Bulls moving forward. Will joins the guys from the United Center to offer his thoughts on the game and insights...

The CHGO Bulls crew dive deep into the matchup between the Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks for the win-or-go-home Play-In Tournament game on Wednesday night!

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 120-119 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday.

Will joins the guys live from Madison Square Garden to offer his thoughts...

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the latest movement in the Eastern Conference standings as we near the conclusion of the NBA’s regular season. As it stands, the Bulls would play the loser between Philadelphia and Miami in the #7 vs #8 Play-In Tournament game, if they beat Atlanta first. The Bulls were eliminated by the Heat in last season’s second Play-In game. The Bulls had some success against both teams this season, splitting 2-2 with the Heat and taking 2 of 3 games from the 76ers. Also, should teams in the Bulls’ and Hawks’ position - trailing the 8th seed by a mile a...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 113-98 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night. The low volume and efficiency behind the three-point line was familiar. What made it worse was the uncharacteristic 21 Bulls turnovers, which led to 28 points for Orlando. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss another underwhelming night for Coby White, who played after leaving their Friday game with another injury.
