Thank you to everyone who tuned in live for the latest edition of Corporate Knowledge: After Dark, this time after Victor Wembanyama went crazy in the fourth quarter to lead the Spurs to a 121-117 comeback win in Chicago. This is why we watch sports, people. The ups and downs and ebbs and flows are all part of the wonderful rollercoaster ride, and Wemby put on a show worth the ticket price. Tonight's topics included: Vic scores 18 of his 38 points in the fourth quarter to bring his team back from a 12-point deficit and burying the Bulls with two dagger 3-pointers on back-to-back late possessions. Welcome back Luke Kornet, who spent much of the final frame on the court next to Wemby and played a major role on both sides of the ball. “French Vanilla” is back in action. Steph Castle just keeps hitting singles.

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 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 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

In this episode of On The Ball (United WeCast Network), Ric Bucher breaks down the widening gap between American-born NBA stars and their international counterparts — and what it says about player development, discipline, and leadership in today's game.Bucher dives into the latest around Ja Morant, including front-office chatter about his trade value, locker-room issues, and whether the Memphis Grizzlies can still build around him. He compares Ja's stalled maturity and Zion Williamson's lack of evolution to the steady growth and professionalism of Victor Wembanyama, Nikola Jokić, and Giannis Antetokounmpo — stars who treat the game as craft, not performance.Ric also examines why American player development has fallen behind Europe's, how Pat Riley's shift toward international talent reflects a changing NBA, and what the Chicago Bulls' surprising start reveals about teamwork over showmanship.From leadership accountability to the future of U.S. basketball, this episode challenges the culture of “flash over fundamentals” and asks the question: What happened to making American players great again?

On this episode of Combo's Court, Combo sits down with Pierre Andresen, co-host of Numbers on the Board and on-air voice for NBC Sports, for an in-depth basketball conversation about one of the hottest topics in the game — the overuse of the word “generational.” Combo and Pierre break down why that label has lost its meaning, exploring how the media and fan culture have blurred the line between “great” and “once-in-a-lifetime.” The two dive into Victor Wembanyama's early dominance, Cooper Flagg's adjustment to the NBA, and what separates real hoopers from highlight players. They go beyond the headlines to discuss how social media changed player perception, the rise of “bag culture,” and why understanding basketball IQ still matters more than flash. The episode also touches on Pascal Siakam's underrated impact, the Knicks' defensive identity under Mike Brown, and Ja Morant's future in Memphis after a turbulent start.

Dean Oliver, ESPN sports analyst, joins Adi Wyner, Shane Jensen, and Cade Massey to explore Victor Wembanyama's game-changing impact on defense, the development curve of elite rookies, and how analytics are influencing strategy across the NBA—from the Spurs' ceiling to the Lakers' evolving dynamics and the rise of data-driven player evaluation. Cade, Adi, and Shane also unpack the analytics behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto's World Series dominance, the Carolina Panthers' surprising success, and NFL trade logic. Hosted on Acast.

The latest SMQBs episode opened with a poignant and heartfelt tribute to "The Hen," Laura, Rooster's wife. The crew shared personal stories that celebrated her genuine kindness, her ability to make everyone feel special, and her spirit as a dedicated Commanders and F1 fan, making it a difficult but necessary dedication to her memory. She will be missed. Once into the sports talk, the World Series immediately took center stage, with the crew dissecting the razor-thin margins of Game Seven. The most memorable moment wasn't a highlight-reel catch or home run, but the infamous "deciding gaffe" by IKF, the Blue Jays runner on third base. His minimal lead led to him being thrown out at the plate "by a millimeter" to end a scoring threat, a blunder the panel noted was the critical error that ultimately decided the championship. The drama in the NBA, with House bringing up Victor Wembanyama for his "Bring Him to the Bar" pick. The discussion centered on the rookie's astonishing all-around production, particularly his ability to impact the game from inside the paint, beyond the arc, and on the defensive end. The guys agreed that his historic start suggests a talent level that could eventually eclipse many of the league's all-time greats. To hear the full tributes, the complete sports debates, and all the Plaxico picks, be sure to listen to SMQBs Episode 240!
