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.Call or text the show: (331) 979-1369Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:TrueBillDon't fall for subscription scams.

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.Call or text the show: (331) 979-1369Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PrizePicksDon't hesitate, check out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.

Ioua and McKay react to the signing of Marc Gasol and Alfonzo McKinnie, as well as, the re-signing of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Markieff Morris. Since McKay missed the last two shows and was not able to comment on the signing of Dennis Schröder, Wesley Matthews and Montrezl Harrell, we revisited that conversation as well. (Recorded 11/24/2020) Audit credit: MOKKA, Lakey Inspired, Chick Hearn.
Luke "Coach" Walton and Jonathan "Analyst" Gillie breakdown the recent free agency signings, trades and roster improvement that Rob Pelinka and company have pulled off. Shortly before recording, the news of Markieff Morris' retention was reported (!!!) We dig into potential ways that this roster construction builds on some of the Lakers' past strengths and creates new ones, as well as some of the (minor) weaknesses they may have created in the process. Welcome to the squad, Dennis Schröder, Marc Gasol, Wesley Matthews, Montrezl Harrel, Alfonzo McKinnie and Jordan Bell! And welcome back KCP and Markieff Morris!
