The Chicago Bulls have started the season 2-0 for the first time in four years, and Bulls Nation… it feels GOOD. In this episode of The Horns Over Hoops Podcast, Sal-Bass, Scott Berman, and Dan Gracie break down exactly why this Bulls team looks different — and why the energy around Chicago basketball feels alive again.

The emergence of Tre Jones as a true floor general, Vooch playing like a confident veteran leader, and key scoring contributions from the bench (Kevin Huerter, Patrick Williams, Ayo Dosunmu, Jalen Smith) have completely changed the rhythm of this roster. And that defense? Number one in the league right now. We also dive into Matas Buzelis' early development, the identity of this roster, and how Billy Donovan is finally playing the hot hand instead of defaulting to “contract-favored” lineups. The Bulls are showing depth, chemistry, discipline, and effort — things fans have been begging for over the past few seasons. Finally, we preview the upcoming matchup vs the Atlanta Hawks and give our predictions. Are the Bulls for real? Or is this just early-season hype? Either way… it feels good to be optimistic again.
