Are the Chicago Bulls STILL the team to beat in the Eastern Conference?
Ken Carman and Anthony Lima discuss De'Andre Hunter's cross-up of Josh Giddey during the Cleveland Cavaliers' Saturday night win over the Chicago Bulls, as well as more talk about the Cleveland Browns.
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 Bulls squandered a 19-point lead in a crushing 128-122 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, exposing critical execution flaws and questionable coaching decisions. Host Haize breaks down Billy Donovan's puzzling choice to bench red-hot Jalen Smith (18 points, 11 rebounds, plus-17) in favor of struggling Nikola Vucevic during crunch time, despite Smith's perfect 6-for-6 shooting performance. The Bulls' bench exploded for 58 points—led by Jaylen Johnson's flawless outing and strong contributions from Patrick Williams, Kevin Huerter, and Ayo Dosunmu—yet late-game mismanagement and Josh Giddey's ankle injury derailed Chicago's momentum. Matas Buzelis struggled significantly, while the absence of Coby White became glaringly apparent in critical fourth-quarter possessions. With the Bulls now 6-3 and facing their first losing streak of the season, this analysis reveals what went wrong and what must change as they prepare for upcoming matchups against San Antonio, Detroit, and Utah. Tune in for an unfiltered breakdown of this winnable game that slipped away.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 took their second loss of the season, falling to 6-2 after getting blasted by Giannis Antetokounmpo's 41-point explosion. Milwaukee shot over 40% from deep, controlled the energy from the opening tip, and exposed one major truth: the Bulls have to bring elite effort every single night if they want this hot start to mean something.Chicago had moments where they generated stops, but empty possessions and slow responses derailed the comeback attempt. This is a young team that's shown toughness, but in the NBA there are no excuses — not when you're trying to establish yourself as a top team in the Eastern Conference.Now the Bulls drop to second in the East and immediately turn around to face the No. 3 Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. Cleveland is riding a three-game win streak, scoring nearly 120 points per game, and Donovan Mitchell is averaging over 30 on his own. The Cavs fire up shots in bunches, even if they aren't the most efficient team, and their defensive discipline limits transition opportunities and second-chance points.This matchup comes down to hustle, execution, and star impact. Josh Giddey, Nikola Vucevic, and Matas Buzelis will need to find a rhythm early, and Chicago's role players must step up to steady the offense. With voicemails discussing Billy Donovan's adjustments, All-Star potential, and fan overreactions, this episode digs deep into the reality of where this Bulls team stands in a tough early-season stretch.Podcast Links: https://linktr.ee/ChiBearsCentralGet at us:Email: ChicagoBearsCentral@gmail.comTwitter:@ChiBearsCentralPhone: (773) 242-9336Support 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

Big Red Bus Podcast Episode Title: AKME Redemption: The Rise of the Red Leviathan Hosts: See Red Fred & The Podfather, Doug Thonus Summary:See Red Fred and the Podfather Doug Thonus break down one of the most thrilling weeks in recent Bulls history — a miraculous comeback win that cements the Bulls as the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The guys argue that we're witnessing the greatest front office turnaround in Chicago sports history, thanks to four franchise-changing moves that have completely reshaped the team's identity. Topics Covered: The Buzelis Draft Pick (June 2024, #11 Overall)Fred and Doug revisit the bold selection of Matas Buzelis — calling it an A+ pick that set the tone for everything that followed. The LaVine TradeThe front office struck gold by trading Zach LaVine for Tre Jones, Kevin Huerter, and John Collins — plus their pick back. Fred praises each as rock-solid contributors, emphasizing that the Bulls gained three quality pieces and financial flexibility. The Okoro TradeDubbed “the most underrated great move,” Isaac Okoro's addition transformed the Bulls' defense. Shooting 50-40-80 over his last five games, Okoro locked down Tyrese Maxey in crunch time — solidifying himself as the team's best defender and a critical late-game stopper. Fred contrasts his production with Lonzo Ball's multi-year absence and inefficiency, calling out the overreaction from fans who doubted the deal. The Giddey Trade and ExtensionA true win-win. Alex Caruso helped OKC capture a championship, while Josh Giddey — a misfit in OKC — has flourished in Chicago. At just 23 years old, Giddey is emerging as a bona fide All-Star and, according to Fred, even belongs in the early MVP conversation. Closing Thoughts:The Big Red Bus celebrates a Bulls team reborn — deeper, smarter, tougher, and finally built to contend. From a fanbase in despair to the top of the East, AKME Redemption is real, and the ride has only just begun. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We discuss Josh Giddey's back-to-back triple-doubles, Nikola Vucevic's defense, and a second-half shift that held Philly to just 36 points.

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 Chicago Bulls stormed back from 24 down to stun the 76ers 113–111 in a signature win. Josh Giddey authored another triple-double masterclass and Nikola Vučević nailed the go-ahead dagger as Chicago outworked Philly in every hustle category and held them to 16 points in the 4th. From clamping Tyrese Maxey late, to big bench minutes from Kevin Huerter and Jalen Smith, this was about fight, poise, and team basketball.We break down:How Chicago flipped the game with defense and reboundingGiddey's star turn and why his fit elevates everyoneVooch's late-game answers vs. EmbiidWhy this depth/ball-movement identity travelsWhat it means when Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu are backIf you doubted this team, put some respect on their name.

0:00 ... Ross hello, welcome, introduction of the panel. 0:36 ... Show #195 is dedicated to the late Anthony Mason who played for the Knicks in 1995 under Pat Riley. 1:34 ... The Chicago Bulls continue their strong early season run and the guys break down what has been going to well. Josh Giddey has been leading the way for Billy Donovan's team even though their forwards are not grabbing many rebounds. 6:20 ... The matchup between the Bulls and 76ers on Tuesday night will feature a fascinating matchup between guards Tyrese Maxey of Philly and Giddey. The winner of the game will also take over the top spot in the east. 9:08 ... The New York Knicks have not been firing on all cylinders early in the season as they adjust to new head coach Mike Brown. The Knicks are shooting a lot more 3 pointers than they did last season but there does not appear any reason to panic in New York. Bruce feels that Jordan Clarkson's impact will eventually be felt as he competes for the 6th man of the year award. 14:10 .... The Orlando Magic have also been shaky out of the gate with their first four games all on the road. Desmond Bane came over from Memphis to shoot 3 pointers but so far has shot mostly blanks. Bruce feels their defense and rebounding will carry them to greater success and Bane will eventually remember how to make threes. Ross is very concerned about the free throw shooting by the Magic which is only around 75% right now 19:10 ... The Oklahoma City Thunder have started the season 7-0 and our guys predict when their first loss may take place. Bruce and Ross see it coming in a day or two while World B feels they'll remain undefeated into next week. 21:44 ... The Portland Trailblazers have responded well to new coach Tiago Splitter who replaced Chauncey Billups when the gambling scandal sidelined him. Jrue Holiday, Jerami Grant, and Donovan Clingan have all excelled in the early going. World B credits their aggressive defense and insane hustle as huge factors in their success. Once Scoot Henderson returns from his injury, their defense should improve even more. 27:11 ... Trae Young of the Hawks will miss at least a month with an MCL injury. His shooting has been terrible but maybe the mental break due to injury might help him to reset things when he returns. World B has some stats supporting the Hawks' offensive improvement with Young sidelined. Ross points out that with no other point guards on the roster, Atlanta will have to run their offense in a non-traditional way. 30:39 ... Ja Morant is also creating a mess in Memphis with his poor attitude. He was suspended for insubordinate behavior and it won't be long before the trade rumors start up in earnest. Simply put, he needs to GROW UP. 35:07 ... "True or False" The guys check in on whether the San Antonio Spurs will win 50 games and finish in the top 4 in the west. 38:05 ... "True or False" Everyone checks in on whether Nikola Jokic will set the single season record for triple doubles (currently 42 by Russell Westbrook). 40:17 ... The final "True or False" question ... Someone other than Stephen Curry will lead the league in 3 pointers made. 42:05 ... Ross says goodbye TRT 42:18 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Bulls finally took their first L of the season… but hey, it happens. The real question is: how do they bounce back tonight against a Philly squad that's been lighting the NBA on fire?On today's episode, I'm breaking down everything Bulls fans need to know before tip-off:✅ Ayo might play… or he might not✅ Coby is STILL out (and it's getting annoying)✅ Maxey is dropping 30+ like it's nothing✅ VJ Edgecombe looks way too comfortable for a rookie✅ And Philly's defense? Mid. But elite at guarding the three. Weird combo.We're talking all the keys to the matchup — how the Bulls slow down those guards, why Vooch could be the secret weapon tonight, and why Chicago's SIZE is quietly one of the biggest advantages in the league right now. Seriously, when Josh Giddey is your 6'8 point guard and your “smallest starter” is 6'5… that's wild.Plus, we listen to some voicemails from the Bulls family.Shoutout to Immortal Beast and Bryan Washington for keeping the energy right.Tap in, Bulls Nation.

The Chicago Bulls are officially back — and it starts with Nikola Vučević's quiet dominance, Josh Giddey's leadership, and a defense that's locked in early this season.In today's episode, Haize breaks down:
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.

With Coby White and Zach Collins set to return, the Bulls' potential looks promising.
