The Chicago Bulls found themselves at the center of NBA controversy after a heated Bulls vs Bucks matchup ended with a late-game windmill dunk by Giannis Antetokounmpo that sparked a postgame brawl. On this episode of Horns Over Hoops, Sal Bass, Dan Gracie, and Scott Berman break down everything that went wrong — and what it might mean for the Bulls moving forward. Despite the loss to Milwaukee, the Bulls showed real signs of growth, competing hard against one of the Eastern Conference's top teams. Chicago's recent five-game winning streak, improved ball movement, and defensive effort suggest the Bulls season may finally be turning around. We analyze the Bucks game, Giannis' minutes restriction, Bobby Portis' role in the scuffle, and whether the Bulls earned respect around the league.

What role should Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis, and Jalen Smith play going forward? The crew debates lineup changes, offensive rebounding issues, and why Chicago struggles against physical superstars. Paragraph 4 (Bulls Season Outlook + Fan Engagement) With the Bulls sitting near the Play-In Tournament, questions loom about whether this team should push forward or pivot toward development. We also cover Tuesday Trivia, Bulls vs Bucks history, and New Year's resolutions for the team as Chicago heads into the most important stretch of the season.

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, Radford head coach Zach Chu joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on winning in the margins.Zach Chu is in his first year as the Head Men's Basketball Coach at Radford University. Currently the youngest head coach in NCAA Division I men's basketball, Zach Chu brings nine years of experience in the NBA and a deep analytical background. Chu capitalizes on a deep analytical background, uniquely positioning him to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of college basketball with an end-to-end application of analytics from portal management, roster composition, and individual player development to game strategy.After accompanying Coach Rick Carlisle to Indiana to manage game strategy, following five years in the Dallas Mavericks' organization, Chu helped the Pacers leverage a data-driven approach to engineer one of the most efficient offenses in the NBA and an appearance in the Eastern Conference finals by their third year.Recognizing the potential impact of this differentiated strategy in the NIL era, Chu accepted the role as Chief Strategist at SMU last year, where he implemented the same conceptual approach proven at the NBA level, producing the 20th ranked offense in the country while being one of only two schools in the nation to have six players average double figures. The Mustangs posted a 24-11 record, including a 13-7 finish in their inaugural season in the ACC.

The Red Wings are rolling — and Moritz Seider is driving the bus. In this short pre-game episode before puck drop against the Stars, we break down Detroit's back-to-back wins over the Washington Capitals, capped by Seider's overtime game-winner and another dominant weekend from Alex DeBrincat and Lucas Raymond. The Wings are now first in the Atlantic by points and points percentage, tied for third-most regulation wins in the Eastern Conference, and — most importantly — winning games the right way, not by sneaking into overtime. What's fueling the surge? December has been Detroit's “regression to the mean” month — in the best possible way. 5-on-5 (Dec 1–23): 10.44% shooting percentage 92.47% save percentage 1.029 PDO (top-tier puck luck and performance) All strengths (Dec 1–23): 12.62% shooting percentage 91.29% save percentage 1.039 PDO Detroit still ranks bottom-10 in high-danger shooting percentage, but here's the key shift: 4th-best high-danger save percentage in the NHL Best medium-danger shooting percentage in the league In other words: the Wings are finishing from dangerous mid-ice areas, protecting the slot better, and finally getting goaltending results that match their structure. We also dig into: Why the Washington wins matter against one of the NHL's elite defensive teams Moritz Seider leading the entire NHL in Goals Above Replacement (GAR) What GAR actually measures Why it belongs in the Norris and Hart Trophy conversation Andrew Copp's resurgence since returning from core surgery and stabilizing the second line DeBrincat and Raymond producing at a true point-per-game pace A quick look at John Leonard's hot start, what's real, and what will cool off This episode is a snapshot of a Red Wings team playing structured hockey, stacking regulation wins, and getting elite value from its best player — right before the Stars come to town.   Red Wings Rant: Where tirades and impassioned pleas about your Detroit Red Wings finally have a home.  JOIN THE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/rd2RUDkzuS Let's have fun!

Taking more faceoffs, improving defensively, shooting more, and doing anything possible to become a more complete, big-moment player.Nathan MacKinnon continues his shooting barrage as he leads the league in shots on goal. McDavid has seen an uptick in shooting during his hot streak, and Celebrini is climbing the list as well. The guys examine some of the league's top volume shooters and a few surprise leaders in shooting percentage, including one of the biggest up-and-comers in the scoring race, Morgan Geekie.Edmonton's offense is starting to roll as they head into the Christmas break, with no more road games against Eastern Conference teams remaining.

Cole Caufield is out, while Brock Nelson makes the roster up front.

Would Bo Horvat be on the roster if he weren't injured? Evan Bouchard's improved defensive play earns him a spot, while Thomas Harley drops off as he continues to struggle after returning from injury in Dallas.

The Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Is DESTROYING The Milwaukee Bucks Locker Room according to Gilbert Arenas as Gil & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Giannis reportedly meeting with his Bucks teammates to address ongoing trade rumors and debate how the Greek Freak should be handling this situation as his uncertain future in Milwaukee is already causing problems inside the organization. They then react to the NBA Cup quarterfinals as the New York Knicks punched their ticket to Las Vegas with a win over the Toronto Raptors and break down what has been an up and down season for the Knicks. They debate who should be part of the team's Big 3 alongside Jalen Brunson & Karl Anthony Towns and argue over who is the most expendable out of Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby or Josh Hart as the team decides whether or not they need to make a big splash to improve their roster. They then move over to another power house in the NBA's Eastern Conference as Jaylen Brown has put together a career season for the Boston Celtics while serving as the team's #1 option in the absence of Jayson Tatum and debate what a successful season looks like for the C's before reacting to Brown's comments on floppers with a direct shot at Shai Gilgeous Alexander. Finally, they react to James Harden passing Carmelo Anthony for 10th on the NBA's all time scoring list and give the offensive superstar his flowers for changing the game before breaking down the games of 2 rookie of the year candidates in Dylan Harper and Derik Queen.

Nate and Danny take questions on Indiana through Washington in the Eastern Conference.  Pacers — 0:13What explains the divergence between the Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers despite their seemingly comparable losses in talent?Did the Pacers truly “miss” on Ryan Nembhard given their existing guard depth with Tyrese Haliburton, Andrew Nembhard, and T.J.

Barrett's future given his contract and offensive importance?Wizards — 1:09:00Can Cam Whitmore turn things around after being benched for not meeting on-court standards?What should Wizards fans look for when evaluating Brian Keefe—player development, stylistic identity, or broader organizational signals?

Hawks — 3:36Should the Hawks trade Trae Young plus two juicy Bucks/Pels picks for Giannis, and how would that look from both teams' perspectives?If the Hawks keep Trae, re-sign him reasonably, and just add this incoming Pelicans pick, can that path ever realistically lead to a championship?Do you buy Onyeka Okongwu's three-point shooting, and if you do, is he a top-15 center in the league?Celtics — 13:20If you're the Celtics, how should you play out the rest of the season—go all out because there's no super-team in the East, or pull back at some point to protect health?How useful will their increased turnover forcing and more egalitarian offense be once Jayson Tatum returns, and which rotation guys could actually be part of a high-level playoff rotation?Is Jaylen Brown genuinely improved compared to prior years, or is it mostly that the mid-range is falling more; and if it's shot luck, how long would he have to sustain this for it to be “real”?Nets — 22:36Is Michael Porter more valuable to the Nets as an on-court player to get them back into the playoff mix, or as a trade asset?Can you do as deep a dive as possible on Noah Clowney's game and development?Were pundits too quick to call the Nets' draft a disaster given how much their rookies are now playing?Hornets — 31:06What has happened to LaMelo Ball—he was an All-Star before, so is this decline just injuries and lack of progression?What are some potential trades for Miles Bridges, Ball, and Sexton?Do you sense a shift in the Hornets' organizational philosophy under the new regime?Bulls — 39:10John Hollinger has said the Suns turned down the Pelicans/Hawks pick deal; do you know if that exact deal (or better) was offered to other teams like the Bulls or Blazers, or is that just logical inference?Should the Bulls go all-in and trade for Anthony Davis, and what could they realistically get for Coby White if Artūras Karnišovas canvassed the league?The Bulls are trying to make up for their talent deficit by running on everything—does that strategy backfire (more injuries, better teams separating with more possessions), or is it actually their best path?Cavs — 50:20How concerned are you about the Cavs' bad start, and in particular about Darius Garland's play and health?What are your thoughts on Jaylon Tyson's development so far?Should Cleveland start trying to get out of the second apron, and what would it take to do that?Pistons — 58:06Good or bad, what has been the most surprising thing about the Eastern Conference so far this season?Besides Giannis and Lauri Markkanen, what other players would be a good fit for the Pistons and actually gettable?Would Sam Hauser be a good target for the Pistons given his price point and role, and how does he fit relative to what they already have (e.g. Duncan Robinson–type shooters)?
