The Chicago Bulls find themselves with some major rotation questions — and some huge bright spots — as they head into tonight's matchup with the Portland Trail Blazers. Billy Donovan has praised this team's adaptability, but the way certain pieces are playing is forcing tough decisions as the season moves on.Isaac Okoro has been a mixed bag: strong defense, some solid shooting nights, but he's struggled guarding bigger wings. With Ayo thriving off the bench, it raises the real question: Will Donovan eventually need to move Patrick Williams or Kevin Huerter into the starting lineup once Coby White returns to full minutes?Meanwhile… Nikola Vucevic continues to be a concern. Vooch isn't getting benched, but the Bulls HAVE to consider reducing his minutes on nights where he's hurting more than helping. The inconsistency is becoming too big to ignore.On the flip side — the Bulls bench is ELITE. Ayo Dosunmu and Jalen Smith are becoming one of the best bench duos in the NBA, combining for 25 points per game while shooting: • 55% FG • 46% from 3 • 90% FT • Jalen Smith at 40% from 3Chicago's second unit ranks:

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.
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who understands his role on an elite offensive unit.We dive into why the narrative surrounding Coby White's “fit” is outdated, how his post-All-Star numbers (24.5 PPG on nearly 50% shooting) back up his claim, and why adding him back into this rotation won't disrupt the team's flow —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.
In this episode of the Dynasty Nerds podcast, hosts Garret Price and Andrew Mott dive deep into dynasty fantasy football quarterback rankings, sorting every current NFL starter into detailed tiers from S down to E (with A+ and C- added on the fly). They kick off hyping JJ McCarthy's baseline performance against the Lions secondary, then build tiers around anchors like Josh Allen in S-tier, Patrick Mahomes in A-tier, and Bo Nix in B-tier. Hot debates spark over rookies—Drake Maye lands elite S-tier for 20+ PPG consistency without weapons, Jaxson Dart rockets to A+ on elite per-game production despite missing Malik Nabors, while Caleb Williams holds B-tier upside. Veterans like Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, and Dak Prescott slot into solid C-tier, with sleepers like Michael Penix in C- and bust risks like Cam Ward lower. They wrap organizing the full board, arguing matchups, age, rushing floors, and long-term job security for dynasty contenders.moves. Fantasy Roster Rescue: Get your Roster Rescued!

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 starting to look like a team on the rise — and Matas Buzelis is leading the charge. Through 4 games, Buzelis is averaging 16.8 PPG on 51% shooting, but it's how he's scoring that's got Bulls fans buzzing. His confidence, off-the-dribble creation, and defensive presence are all taking major steps forward.Haize breaks down:

Theo kicks things off with fireworks — Ja'Marr Chase sets a new all-time targets record and locks in back-to-back WR1 overall seasons, while Derrick Henry roars back with 11 second-half touchdowns to tie Marcus Allen on the all-time list. Travis Hunter keeps shocking the world, outscoring BTJ and averaging 15 PPG the rest of the way, and Christian Watson's Week 9 explosion cements him as a league-winning waiver pickup. Theo also forecasts a Tennessee two-for-one with Chim Dike and Tyjae Spears both becoming fantasy starters — plus a wild bonus prediction that Steve Sarkisian lands the Titans' head coaching job. Coop fires back with his own slate of spicy takes: Kenneth Walker reclaims RB1 status as Seattle finally unleashes him, Marvin Harrison Jr. goes nuclear against Dallas to prove he's elite, and a tight end named Elijah becomes the next breakout fantasy hero. He's also calling JJ McCarthy's rise to fantasy relevance and a full-blown Kyle Pitts resurgence — part of what he says could be the best fantasy tight end class ever.
In the 3rd hour, Dover and Cecil reacted to the crazy ending of last night's World Series. Cecil talked about why he thinks Jamal Murray can average 27 PPG this season. The fellas recapped last night's Nuggets win as well as the latest injury news with Patrick Surtain. Will the Broncos be buyers at the trade deadline and could they end up with too many weapons if they make a trade?

The Chicago Bulls might be DEEPER than anybody expected. Through just two games, the Bulls bench is averaging over 46 points per game, showing a level of depth this team hasn't had in years.Tre Jones has stepped into that Lonzo Ball role seamlessly — pushing pace, defending, and running the show with confidence. Meanwhile, Josh Giddey's early-season numbers (20 PPG, 6.5 REB, 7 AST, 42.9% from three) are making that contract look like an absolute STEAL.We'll also talk about Matas Buzelis' learning curve, Okoro's shaky start, and what it all means for this Bulls team as they start to find their rhythm.

Plus, with LeBron James possibly entering his final season, we explore what this unique father-son pairing could mean for the Lakers—on and off the court.Bronny's numbers this Summer League are strong:14.3 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 3.8 APG, 48% FG in just 24 MPG. But the eye test says even more.

فربد صادقیان، یکی از چهرههای پشتپردهی تبلیغات دیجیتال ایران بود؛ کسی که با Anetwork شروع کرد، با PPG یه هولدینگ رسانهای ساخت، و نقش مهمی توی شکلگیری اکوسیستم استارتاپی ایران ایفا کرد. تو دوران طلایی سرمایهگذاری سراوا، فربد با برندهای بزرگی مثل عدد، ادرو و اخبار رسمی کار کرد، با WPP قرارداد انحصاری بست و سالها توی خط اول جنگ تبلیغات آنلاین ایستاد. بعدها اما همهچی عوض شد؛ فشارها، شایعهها، و سیاستهایی که از درون ساختارها رو ترکوند، باعث شد از ایران بره. حالا تو دبی، با «TheBlock» مشغول ساخت یه اکوسیستم جدید برای توکنایز کردن داراییهای واقعی مثل هتل، تیم فوتبال یا حتی آثار هنریه.توی این قسمت، برگشتیم به سالهایی که هممون فکر میکردیم داریم آینده رو میسازیم. از جلسههای عجیب با سرمایهگذار، دعواهای پنهونی بین پارتنرها، شایعات بیپایه و سیاستهایی گفتیم که خیلی چیزا رو خراب کرد. فربد بیپرده از تجربههاش گفت: از اشتباهات مدیریتی، ضعف در ارتباط با همتیمیها، و درسی که از همهی اون شکستها گرفت. بعد، رفتیم سراغ پروژهی جدیدش؛ اینکه چطور میشه بهجای پترئون و دونیت، یه مدل سرمایهگذاری واقعی برای کامیونیتی ساخت. مدلی که شاید فردای طبقه ۱۶ رو هم شکل بده.00:00 – پیشگفتار01:38 – شروع و معرفی فربد صادقیان04:53 – روزهای اول Anetwork و ساختن اکوسیستم تبلیغات دیجیتال14:08 – تجربه کار با سراوا، ساخت PPG و ورود WPP به ایران24:24 – چالشهای درونی تیمها، شایعات و سیاستهای پشتپرده33:58 – اشتباهات مدیریتی و ضعف در ارتباط بین پارتنرها43:48 – چرا تصمیم گرفت از ایران بره و چطور اون دوره رو پشت سر گذاشت50:28 – مهاجرت به اتریش و بعد دبی؛ شروع دوباره با ذهنیت تازه59:48 – ساخت TheBlock و آیندهی داراییهای توکنشده1:09:48 – توکنایز کردن استارتاپها، استودیوها و ایدههای کامیونیتی1:17:48 – جمعبندی، درسی که از گذشته گرفت و نگاهش به آیندهFarbod Sadeghian was one of the behind-the-scenes figures in shaping Iran's digital advertising industry. He started with Anetwork, then went on to build PPG—a media holding that brought together major players like Adad, Adro, and Akhbar Rasmi. During the golden era of Sarava's investments, Farbod worked with some of the biggest brands, signed an exclusive deal with WPP, and stood at the frontlines of the digital advertising boom in Iran. But things shifted—internal politics, pressure, and rumors gradually dismantled the system. He eventually left Iran, and today, from Dubai, he's building “TheBlock”—an ecosystem for tokenizing real-world assets like hotels, football clubs, and even art.In this episode, we revisited those chaotic, ambitious years where we all thought we were building the future. We talked about strange meetings with investors, backdoor conflicts, and the cracks that broke strong brands from within. Farbod opened up about leadership mistakes, communication breakdowns, and the hard-earned lessons that came out of it all. Then we explored his new chapter—how he's rethinking community-driven ownership and investment, and what that could mean for the future of Tabaghe 16.Sponsorحامی این قسمت، لیموهاسته. یه سرویس قابلاعتماد برای هاست، سرور و دامنه که خیلی از استارتاپها و کسبوکارهای آنلاین ایرانی ازش استفاده میکنن.

In the latest episode of Working People, we go back to the picket line to get a critical update on the longest ongoing strike in the United States. In October 2022, over 100 workers represented by five labor unions—including production, distribution, advertising, and accounts receivable staff—walked off the job on an unfair labor practice strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (PPG). The strike began after the newspaper's management, Block Communications, which is owned by the Block family, cut off health insurance for employees on Oct. 1 of that year. After more than 2.5 years on strike, with other unions reaching contracts or taking buyouts and dissolving their units, workers represented by the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh are the last remaining strikers holding the line. We speak with a panel of union officers for the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh about how they've managed to stay on strike so long and about recent legal updates that have given them hope that an acceptable end to the strike may be on the horizon. Panelists include: Ed Blazina, striking transportation writer at the PPG and one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh; Erin Hebert, also one of the Vice Presidents of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh and a striking copy-editor and page designer at PPG; Emily Matthews, photographer on strike and treasurer for the Post-Gazette Unit of the Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA playoff betting. The guys also give out best bets. This episode of RJ Bell's Dream Preview: NBA Playoff Edition with Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers provides an in-depth analysis of two critical NBA playoff matchups: Knicks vs. Pacers Game 4 and Thunder vs. Timberwolves Game 5. The conversation opens with a reflection on Game 3, where the Knicks overcame a 20-point deficit to win. This turnaround stemmed from strategic adjustments—starting Mitchell Robinson and bringing Josh Hart off the bench—allowing New York to clamp down on Indiana's offense. Jalen Brunson struggled with foul trouble and inefficiency, contributing just six field goals on 18 attempts and a single assist. Despite his limited impact, the Knicks held Indiana to only 42 second-half points, a stark contrast to the Pacers' usual offensive rhythm. Hart's late-game rebounds and composure at the free-throw line stood out, and Towns' fourth-quarter scoring lifted the team to its first win of the series. Mackenzie discussed RJ Bell's "fourth quarter win share," an advanced stat favoring teams with strong late-game control, suggesting the Knicks had been more dominant across multiple quarters despite their earlier losses. Looking to Game 4, the hosts note the Pacers as 2.5-point home favorites with a 220.5 total. Mackenzie and Munaf favor the Knicks and the under, emphasizing that a defensive-focused Knicks approach correlates strongly with low-scoring games. Brunson's role is expected to shift toward playmaking, reducing his shot volume. His under 29.5 points prop is Mackenzie's best bet, backed by historical splits where he's gone under this line 20 times versus 19 overs. Meanwhile, Towns is averaging over 25 points and 11 rebounds per game in the series and is projected to exceed both point and rebound props. Transitioning to the Thunder-Timberwolves series, OKC leads 3-1. Game 3 saw a dominant Timberwolves blowout, but OKC rebounded in Game 4 behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 40-point near triple-double and key support from Jalen Williams and the bench. SGA's leadership was pivotal—his late-game assists demonstrated poise under pressure. Mackenzie praised SGA's situational IQ and contrasted it with Anthony Edwards' passive play. Edwards is averaging only 17 FGA per game, the lowest of his postseason career, and scored just 24 PPG despite efficient shooting. Postgame, he deflected criticism, saying he didn't struggle because he didn't take enough shots. Mackenzie critiqued this mindset, calling for Edwards to embrace higher usage when it matters most. With SGA elevating his impact and Edwards retreating, Mackenzie believes the Thunder's edge in leadership and strategy is decisive. In Game 5, OKC is an 8.5-point favorite. Munaf's best bet is the Thunder team total over 114.5, citing strong home scoring trends. SGA's over 6.5 assists is another key angle, supported by three overs in four games and an average of 8.5 APG. The Thunder have shot below their season average from three, suggesting positive regression is likely at home. Mackenzie projects a potential 120–102 OKC win and predicts they'll close the series. The hosts close with futures discussion, noting the NBA's growing parity. The Thunder are +225 favorites for next season, while teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Cavs, and Wolves range from 8/1 to 12/1. Mackenzie emphasizes the historical rarity of such dispersed odds beyond the top team. He speculates Giannis may be traded, naming the Knicks and Rockets as possible destinations. He lauds Sam Presti's roster-building and envisions OKC as a possible dynasty. In conclusion, Munaf and Mackenzie agree the Finals might be lopsided but promise strong betting value through derivatives and props. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
