WOW… the Chicago Bulls just got SMACKED by 36 points and Billy Donovan did NOT hold back

The Chicago Bears have officially become the CLUTCH KINGS of the NFL. Five comeback wins. First in big plays in the fourth quarter. Elite resilience every single week.

The Chicago Bulls survived a heart-stopping collapse against the Portland Trail Blazers, nearly squandering a 21-point lead before Nikola Vucevic's clutch game-winner sealed the victory. Despite the win, the Bulls' defensive rebounding remains a glaring weakness—Portland dominated the glass with 26 offensive rebounds and 38 second-chance points, exposing Chicago's inability to box out consistently.Haize breaks down Coby White's impressive return off the bench, averaging 26 points across two games while meshing seamlessly with Josh Giddey's playmaking. Vucevic's 27 points and game-winner can't mask his defensive struggles, while Matas Buzelis showed flashes before getting benched in crunch time. The analysis covers Dalen Terry's breakout defensive performance, the Bulls' clutch-time execution problems, and why this young roster sits at 8-6 despite glaring inconsistencies.Tune in for an honest assessment of Chicago's rebounding crisis, rotation decisions, and what needs to change as they enter a favorable schedule stretch.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls did it again… let another huge lead slip away.

The Bears are hunting for win #8 in their last 9, and Haize breaks down the 3 offensive keys Chicago MUST execute to beat the Steelers in Week 12!

The Chicago Bears continue to climb the standings and gain national respect — and this week delivered major storylines. Ben Johnson revealed a hugely underrated trait about Cole Kmet, whose blocking, pass protection, and physicality brought the sideline to life in the win over Minnesota. Rookie Colston Loveland flashed again, and Chicago's tight end group quietly had one of their best games of the season.But the biggest news? Jaylon Johnson might be returning sooner than expected. His latest hint could mean Chicago's defense is about to get a MAJOR boost heading into their playoff push.Meanwhile, Colin Cowherd surprised the football world with a strong endorsement of the Bears, calling their success “legitimate,” pointing to their Top-5 rushing attack, Top-10 offense, and elite fourth-quarter play.We also break down the latest NFL Power Rankings, where the Bears continue to rise — and what the national media still doesn't understand about Ben Johnson's squad.Plus:

The Chicago Bulls snap their brutal five-game losing streak with a thrilling 130-127 victory over the championship-contending Denver Nuggets in Denver. This wasn't about the starters—it was a complete bench takeover that saved Chicago's season momentum. Haize breaks down how the Bulls' second unit exploded for 66 points with a staggering +24 plus-minus, led by Javon Carter's 15 points, Jalen Smith's 16 points and 8 rebounds, and Ayo Dosunmu's efficient 21-point performance. Josh Giddey contributed 21 points and 14 rebounds while Kevin Huerter added 20, but the real story was the bench mob's relentless energy on a back-to-back in high elevation. Despite Nikola Vucevic's concerning on-off numbers and a shaky fourth quarter where Chicago went 1-for-13 from three, the Bulls showed championship-level grit against a legitimate contender.Tune in for an honest breakdown of what this quality win means as Chicago enters an easier schedule stretch, plus analysis of lineup decisions and trade possibilities.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears now sit alone atop the NFC North, and the NFL world is stunned. After a 7th win in the last 8 games — and their league-best fifth comeback victory — Chicago continues proving they're one of the most resilient, dangerous teams in the NFL.Haize breaks down the national reaction, the historic implications, and the biggest performances from the Bears' last-second win over Minnesota. Caleb Williams made more history, breaking the franchise record for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in a season and joining elite company — Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, and Bo Nix — for the most in their first two seasons.We dive into:

The Chicago Bears are now 7–3, sitting atop the NFC North, and the NFL world can't believe it. After their fifth fourth-quarter comeback of the season — and yet another game-winning drive — wide receiver DJ Moore summed up this team in one perfect word: “Resilient.”In today's episode, Haize breaks down what that resilience really means, how Ben Johnson has built a locker room that refuses to fold, and why Chicago continues to find ways to win even when the performance isn't pretty.We break down:

The Chicago Bulls drop a heartbreaking double-overtime thriller to the Utah Jazz, 150-147, falling back to .500 after a promising start. What went wrong when it mattered most?Haize breaks down Coby White's 27-point return from injury, Josh Giddy's triple-double performance, and the costly mistakes that plagued the Bulls down the stretch. The analysis reveals a troubling dependency: Nikola Vucevic's offensive efficiency is almost entirely reliant on Giddy's playmaking, raising questions about the center's long-term fit. Matas Buzelis fouled out after a promising 18-point showing, while rookie Julian Phillips delivered an efficient 10 points in just 13 minutes—yet barely saw the floor in crunch time. Questionable officiating, untimely turnovers, and Billy Donovan's rotation decisions all contributed to squandering a winnable game. With the Denver Nuggets up next and White sitting out back-to-backs, can the Bulls regain their early-season form?Tune in for an honest, analytics-driven breakdown of what's working, what's broken, and what needs to change for the Chicago Bulls moving forward.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Coby White returned — and instantly transformed the Chicago Bulls offense. From the opening possession, White's gravity, shooting, and decision-making changed everything for a team that has struggled to score consistently in half-court sets. Haize breaks down how White elevates spacing, shot creation, and overall flow for Chicago.We also dive into Josh Giddey's scoring leap, how his improved finishing and physicality have raised his ceiling, and what makes his offensive jump sustainable. Plus: the surprising truth about Nikola Vucevic's decline, why it's not just shooting percentages, and what his reliance on playmaking means for the roster moving forward.To close, we preview the Bulls' matchup against the Denver Nuggets — an elite two-way force — and what Chicago must execute to survive without Coby White.

The Trey Murphy rumors are heating up — and the Chicago Bulls are right in the middle of it. On today's episode, Haize breaks down why Murphy is a dream fit for the Bulls, what it would cost to get him, and whether Chicago should make that push now.We also dive into why the Bulls desperately need Coby White back, what his shooting and gravity unlock for the offense, and how his return could help stabilize a team that has dropped four straight after a 6–1 start.Plus: a full Bulls vs Jazz preview, the latest from your voicemails, and a tough conversation about Chicago's defensive regression.

The Chicago Bulls may finally be getting the reinforcements they desperately need.K.C. Johnson reports that Josh Giddey and Coby White both fully practiced and could return as soon as the Bulls take on the Utah Jazz. Giddey continues his near-triple-double pace despite his ankle injury, while White—coming off a career season—looks close to making his long-awaited debut.Haize also breaks down the status of Zach Collins, who could return shortly after November 24th, giving Chicago a massive boost to its frontcourt rotation.Then we shift to the trade market:Instead of chasing Anthony Davis, Haize highlights realistic and impactful trade targets including Domantas Sabonis, Daniel Gafford, and Yves Missi, explaining why each fits—and why the Bulls must be smart with timing.We also dive into:

Anthony Davis rumors are back — this time with John Wall hinting that the Chicago Bulls could be a potential landing spot if the superstar big wants out of Dallas. On today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down why the idea of Anthony Davis is tempting… but the timing and price don't make sense for where the Bulls are right now.With Davis owed around $60 million per year and a history of missing significant time, gutting $90 million in expiring depth and draft capital to chase a fragile star could derail the long-term vision Artūras Karnišovas has finally built toward. Chicago just escaped the era of bloated, bad contracts — they can't sprint right back into one.Haize also dives into the Bulls' concerning defensive regression during their four-game skid. After starting 6–1 with strong perimeter defense, Chicago has fallen near the bottom of the league in defensive rating, opponent field-goal percentage, and points in the paint allowed. From Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell to Victor Wembanyama and a shorthanded Pistons team, opposing teams have been feasting at the rim.But it's not all doom and gloom. Ayo Dosunmu, Josh Giddey, and Matas Buzelis sat down together and gave real insight into this team's chemistry, accountability, and growth. The young core's bond and willingness to accept tough coaching from Billy Donovan is a big reason there's still optimism in Chicago — even as they try to rediscover their edge and learn how to close games again.

The Chicago Bears face the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial Week 11 matchup — and Haize is breaking down EXACTLY what Chicago must do on both sides of the ball to walk out with a win.

The Chicago Bulls suffered their most humiliating defeat of the season against a severely depleted Detroit Pistons roster missing all five starters including Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Ausar Thompson. Haize breaks down how the Bulls never held a single lead while Paul Reed dominated with 28 points, exposing Chicago's complete lack of effort and execution.The analysis focuses on Nikola Vucevic's alarming four-game decline following his game-winner, Billy Donovan's questionable rotation decisions that killed a crucial fourth-quarter comeback, and the team's inability to capitalize on being in the bonus. Haize examines standout performances from Matas Buzelis and Isaac Okoro while questioning why Jalen Smith sat despite outplaying Vucevic. With Josh Giddey and Coby White sidelined, the Bulls' defensive intensity vanished against Detroit's reserves.Tune in for an unfiltered breakdown of Chicago's coaching failures, roster mismanagement, and what needs to change before Sunday's matchup against Utah.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls just hit their lowest point of the season — a 124–113 loss to a depleted Detroit Pistons team missing Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, Tobias Harris, and Isaiah Stewart. Despite the short-handed Pistons, Detroit outworked and outplayed the Bulls in every way.Head coach Billy Donovan didn't hold back postgame: “We're not talented enough not to play desperate.” And he's right. Chicago has dropped four straight, and the lack of urgency, effort, and focus has been glaring. Meanwhile, Nikola Vucevic is mired in a brutal stretch — averaging just 10.5 points and 6.5 rebounds on 37.5% shooting over his last four games.But it's not all bad. Kevin Huerter has quietly evolved into one of the Bulls' most reliable and versatile offensive weapons. His increased usage, attacking mentality, and ability to create off the dribble have made him a crucial piece in Donovan's offense.Haize breaks down why this loss could be the wake-up call the Bulls needed — and what has to change for the team to reclaim its early-season identity.

The Chicago Bulls have dropped from 1st to 6th in the East, but don't let that fool you — this team has faced the NBA's toughest schedule (.593 opponent win percentage) and is still standing tall at 6–4.Haize breaks down why these losses to the Bucks, Cavs, and Spurs aren't signs of regression, but a reality check — and how this next stretch could launch Chicago's momentum with Coby White and Zach Collins nearing their returns.We'll preview tonight's Bulls vs. Pistons matchup featuring Cade Cunningham's 27.5 PPG explosion and Jalen Duren's defensive leap, plus what the Bulls must do to attack Detroit's elite defense and get back in the win column.Also: Noa Essengue dazzles in his first G-League game, dropping 28 points and 8 boards — proving why Chicago's player development pipeline is looking stronger than ever.All that and more on Chicago Bulls Central with your host, Haize — your #1 spot for everything Bulls Nation.

The Chicago Bulls drop their third straight game, falling 121-117 to the San Antonio Spurs despite holding a 10-point lead late in the third quarter. Without Josh Giddey and Coby White, the Bulls competed hard but collapsed in the fourth quarter, getting outscored 32-19 as Victor Wembanyama torched them for 38 points down the stretch.Haize breaks down critical coaching decisions by Billy Donovan, particularly keeping Nikola Vučević on the floor despite defensive struggles while Jalen Smith dominated on both ends. Tre Jones and Kevin Huerter stepped up with 20+ point performances, and Matas Buzelis bounced back with 15 points. The analysis covers the Bulls' concerning inability to score in crunch time, defensive breakdowns against Wembanyama and Luke kornet, and what needs to change as they prepare for Detroit.Tune in for an honest assessment of where this young Bulls team stands at 6-4, including optimism about their competitiveness once fully healthy.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls need a coaching jolt and a closing plan. Haize breaks down why Billy Donovan deserves credit for a strong start — but also needs a wake-up call after recent old habits (bad ATOs, sluggish energy out of timeouts, holding challenges too long, and riding vets on cold nights).We spotlight Jalen “Stix” Smith: from fringe minutes to impact machine. Stix has been a bench cheat code — efficient finishing, real rebounding punch, and legit stretch range — even producing vs Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.Roster talk:We also explore a potential Daniel Gafford reunion to fix rim protection and paint defense.Plus: Giddey ankle update (not considered serious), his MVP Ladder buzz, and a Bulls vs Spurs preview — how to survive Wemby, control the glass, and win the paint.

The Chicago Bulls are discovering something every good team hits eventually: you can win with depth, but you advance with stars. After back-to-back losses to teams with closers like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Donovan Mitchell, Josh Giddey didn't sugarcoat the truth — the Bulls don't have a clear No. 1 option in the clutch, and it's showing.In this episode, Haize breaks down why Chicago must eventually identify a true go-to scorer, whether that's Coby White, Giddey himself, or a future version of Matas Buzelis. We also look at what contenders like Indiana have proven: depth matters, but elite players still separate great teams from good ones.Next, we dive into why Bulls fans shouldn't view Ayo Dosunmu vs. Coby White as an either/or situation. Thanks to Giddey's team-friendly deal and massive upcoming cap space, Chicago may be able to retain both guards long-term if contracts align.We also provide an update on Zach Collins, who is nearing a return pending a CT scan but still wearing a cast. A December comeback looks realistic.Finally, we preview Bulls vs Spurs — a matchup featuring Victor Wembanyama's monster start, San Antonio's 7–2 record, and the keys to slowing down a team with eight double-digit scorers.Plus, listener voicemails on Billy Donovan's rotation decisions, Jalen Smith's minutes, and why Bulls fans shouldn't waste energy on outside noise.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears stormed back with another dramatic win over the New York Giants — and Haize is here to break down EVERY standout, every concern, and every storyline that matters moving forward.

The Chicago Bulls have gone from a dominant 5-0 start to a sudden 1-3 slide, and the numbers tell a clear story. After opening the season as a top-five offense and defense, Chicago has fallen into the bottom 10 in both categories over the last four games. Rim attacks are down nearly 25%, free throw rate has crashed to bottom five in the league, and the Bulls' assists, rebounds, and turnovers have all dipped to league-average levels.In this episode, Haize breaks down why the Bulls' early-season identity has faded, how injuries to Ayo Dosunmu, Zach LaVine, and Coby White have impacted spacing and playmaking, and why Billy Donovan must ride the hot hand instead of sticking with struggling lineups. We dive into the importance of Nikola Vucevic and Matas Buzelis being consistently impactful, plus why Buzelis' point-of-attack defense is the next leap he must take to approach true two-way stardom.Then we break down voicemail reactions from Bulls fans on late-game execution, Donovan's coaching decisions, the Ayo minutes restriction, and Artūras Karnišovas' trade flexibility with over $60 million in expiring contracts and a $17 million TPE.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls fall 126-110 to the Milwaukee Bucks as Giannis Antetokounmpo dominates with 41 points, exposing defensive vulnerabilities down the stretch. Josh Giddey's scoreless second half and the team's inability to contain Giannis or Miles Turner's hot shooting prove costly in this NBA Cup matchup.Haize breaks down the Bulls' fourth-quarter collapse, analyzing why the 6-2 start shouldn't overshadow this learning opportunity. The discussion covers Nikola Vucevic's uncharacteristic struggles, Matas Buzelis's need for mid-range development, and the critical absence of Coby White's scoring punch. With defensive lapses on second-chance points and a cold three-point performance (30%), the Bulls couldn't maintain their early-season momentum against Milwaukee's firepower.The analysis tackles coaching decisions, rotation questions around Noa Essengue, and what adjustments are needed before facing the red-hot Cleveland Cavaliers in tomorrow's back-to-back. Tune in for honest takes on what went wrong and why Bulls fans shouldn't panic despite this setback.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Coby White has spoken — and Bulls fans need to hear him. In today's episode of Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down Coby White's strong message to the media about why he fits perfectly with the Bulls' current system. No ball-stopping. No ego. No friction. Just quick decisions, winning basketball, and a player who understands his role on an elite offensive unit.We dive into why the narrative surrounding Coby White's “fit” is outdated, how his post-All-Star numbers (24.5 PPG on nearly 50% shooting) back up his claim, and why adding him back into this rotation won't disrupt the team's flow — it'll enhance it.Then, Haize turns toward Coby's potential return on the upcoming West Coast trip, what his recovery looks like, and why the Bulls need him back during this brutal four-game stretch.Finally, we preview Bulls vs Bucks — a matchup that will test Chicago's three-point defense, rebounding discipline, and overall activity. Giannis is playing like an MVP, the Bucks offense is humming, and the defense is flimsy. If the Bulls want to win, they'll have to outwork Milwaukee in every category.High-level insight. Real Bulls talk. No fluff.

The Chicago Bears just dropped their most creative offensive performance of the season, and Haize is here to break down EVERYTHING happening at Halas Hall.

The Chicago Bears aren't slowing down. With injuries piling up in the secondary and a culture shift taking hold under head coach Ben Johnson, Chicago is pushing forward — and now they're set to host Asante Samuel Jr. for a visit next week. The former Chargers star, now fully cleared after spinal fusion surgery, could be the exact shutdown corner the Bears desperately need with Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon still sidelined.Plus, Bears GM Ryan Poles opened up about his aggressive pursuit of EDGE help at the trade deadline — turning “every stone” before ultimately landing Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, a low-risk, high-upside addition behind Montez Sweat and Austin Booker.And as adversity continues to hit the roster, Caleb Williams explains why this Bears team is winning differently. From offense to defense to special teams, Chicago is finally playing complementary football — and building a real winning culture.Tap in with Haize as he breaks down what Samuel's visit means, how Poles is reshaping the roster, and why the locker room has fully bought into Johnson's standard.

The Chicago Bulls just pulled off their best comeback since 1988-89, and Josh Giddey is officially entering superstar territory. Two straight triple-doubles, a historic stat line not seen since Michael Jordan, and complete control in the clutch as the Bulls erased a 24-point deficit to beat the 76ers.But this win wasn't just about Giddey — it was about Chicago outworking Philly on every level: • 58 points in the paint • 31 bench points • 32 second-chance points • 31 fast-break points • 48 rebounds • 23 points off turnovers • And holding the 76ers to 18% shooting in the 4th quarterNikola Vucevic drilled the go-ahead corner three and proved—AGAIN—why Bulls fans need to put some respeck on his name.Meanwhile, the Bulls offense looks better than it has in years, the defense is stepping up late, and Chicago sits #1 in the Eastern Conference despite missing Coby White, Zach Collins, and Ayo Dosunmu.But the tests don't stop. The next four games (Bucks, Cavs, Spurs, Pistons) will tell us exactly who this team is.Tap in with Haize as we break down the comeback, Giddey's leap, Vooch's clutch moments, and why Bulls fans should be excited again.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bears didn't make the big splash fans were hoping for — but they did make the move they needed. Ryan Poles trades for DE Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, adding a former first-round pick to a defensive line that just lost Dayo Odeyingbo to a torn Achilles. Chicago also tried to land Jets pass rusher Jermaine Johnson, but the second-round asking price was too steep.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down why this wasn't a “headline” deadline… and why that's actually the right call for a team that still needs draft capital to rebuild the core.We also dive into:✅ Ben Johnson's detailed breakdown of QB Caleb Williams' midseason progress ✅ C.J. Gardner-Johnson's instant impact after just one week in the system ✅ Where the Bears rank statistically entering Week 10 — the good, the bad, and the surprisingThis is a big-picture episode for fans who want to understand where Chicago truly stands and how each piece fits into the long-term plan.

The Chicago Bears are officially in trade deadline overdrive — and Ryan Poles is leaving no stone unturned. Reports say the Bears are being aggressive ahead of Tuesday's deadline, and it's clear why: injuries, lack of pass rush depth, and a secondary that's been held together with duct tape.Haize breaks down everything you need to know, including:• Why the Bears pushed for Jaelan Phillips before the Eagles swooped in• Which positions Chicago must fix before the deadline• Why Riq Woolen — the dream target — now looks unlikely• ESPN's Dan Graziano saying a Trey Hendrickson trade “isn't an overreaction”• Ben Johnson's surprisingly transparent comments about the Bears' roster needs• How Dayo Odeyingbo's injury changes everything• And your voicemails, including trick plays, scheme creativity, and Austin Booker's big opportunityThis is the MOST important 48 hours of the Bears' season — and Haize is breaking it all down.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: ‪(773) 242-9336‬Our Sponsors:* Check out Cigars International and use my code BEARSCENTRAL for a great deal: https://www.cigarsinternational.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls suffered their first loss of the 2025–26 season — but this one's not about the scoreboard. It's about identity.Haize breaks down what this loss to the Knicks really showed about the Bulls:Why the officiating wasn't the deciding factorHow the Bulls stopped attacking the paint and played New York's gameWhy Coby White's return will be critical to offensive balanceJosh Giddey's incredible near-triple-double start and why an All-Star season is loadingHow the Bulls must respond to adversity to prove they're for real this seasonPlus, listener voicemails from Todd and Josh as Haize reacts to Bulls Nation's takes on “Winning or Learning.”

The Chicago Bulls suffered their first loss of the season in a 128-116 defeat to the New York Knicks, exposing critical vulnerabilities in their early success. Without Ayo Dosunmu's infectious energy off the bench, the Bulls abandoned their identity—settling for 40 three-point attempts instead of attacking the paint and playing their trademark physical defense. Haize breaks down how the Knicks' hot shooting (47% from three) and a glaring free throw discrepancy (22-11) revealed deeper issues beyond the box score.Josh Giddey recorded another triple-double, but the lack of energy and execution overshadowed individual performances. With Coby White still sidelined and a brutal stretch ahead featuring Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Cleveland, the Bulls face their first real test of resilience. Haize examines the shot charts, defensive breakdowns, and what this loss reveals about Chicago's ability to maintain their early-season momentum when adversity strikes.Discover how the Bulls must respond to getting "punched in the face" and whether their 5-1 start was sustainable or a mirage.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/BullsCentralPodGet at us:Email: BullsCentralPod@gmail.comTwitter:@BullsCentralPodPhone: ‪(773) 270-2799‬Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/chicago-bulls-central/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Bulls are 4-0 to start the 2025-26 season, and this isn't your typical hot streak—it's a complete culture shift. After trailing by double digits against the Sacramento Kings, the Bulls clawed back with relentless defense and balanced scoring, led by Matas Buzelis's 27 points and Josh Giddey's near triple-double. This team is winning without a superstar, spreading the ball across six players in double figures and playing with the grit that defines Chicago basketball. Haize breaks down how Billy Donovan's coaching adjustments, Nikola Vucevic's rejuvenation, and the dynamic point guard duo of Giddey and Trey Jones are creating sustainable success. From defensive intensity to clutch third-quarter runs, the Bulls are building an identity that feels authentic to the city.
