The Chicago Bulls Beat

These Bulls are Built Different

Two extremely impressive wins against the Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics have Doug, Mark and Fred in a very good mood.

The lads posit if there needs to be a collective adjustment made on how good this Bulls team actually can be in a wide-open title fight.

Also on the show, some love for DeMar DeRozan, who has been instrumental in carrying the Bulls whilst Zach LaVine learns to live with a thumb injury. 

The platitudes don't stop there, with some early Billy Donovan coach of the year predictions, as well as the prophet suggesting Ayo Dosunmu will win the Rookie of the Year.

All that and much more on the Bulls Beat!

 

The Bulls are Incapable of Losing

The Bulls Beat is back, this time with friends!

In a new show format, Doug (@Doug_Thonus) welcomes in new co-hosts of the show, Mark K (@mkhoops) and Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred).

The trio discuss the Bulls' perfect record to start the season, the areas the team needs to improve on if they're to continue taking the league by storm, a necessary conversation on Patrick Williams' poor play, and so much more.

 

Bulls Day 2 recap with DeMar and future cap projections

I discuss the Bulls fit, remaining FA space available and cap outlook going forward.

Bulls FA and Draft talk with DeMar addendum

I discuss the Bulls signings (Lonzo, Caruso, DeMar) and the Ayo draft pick.   DeMar addendum added onto the original podcast from this morning.

Chicago Bulls Free Agency Day 1 and Draft recap

I discuss the excellent mechanics of the Bulls day one in free agency which left them with significant options without giving up much in terms of assets as well as the fits of Lonzo, Caruso, and Ayo.

K.C. Johnson and I discuss the Bulls next moves

K.C. Johnson joins the show to discuss what the Bulls can, will, and should do this off-season as well as the Coby White injury and how it may impact the Bulls plans.

Introducing the 2022 plan

Who doesn't love a plan named after a specific year?  When has such a plan ever gone wrong?  I briefly discuss the disappointing end to the Bulls season, what they should do in the off-season, and how they can legitimately position themselves to add that third star player.

Why the Vucevic trade was likely a loser

I break down the fallacies people use to discuss why the Bulls won this trade including overrating Nikola Vucevic, underrating the assets we gave to acquire him, the synergies we may gain with this pairing, and the difficulties that will come up in making the next move.  

New look Bulls

I discuss why I am on an island of not loving the Bulls deadline moves and what options they have left to make the next move to improve the team. 

Torn between 2 paths

I discuss the limited options for the Bulls at the deadline and why we shouldn't be surprised if the Bulls stand pat as they chase the bottom rung of the playoffs.
