On Bulls Bro Max's birthday, Max has decided to abandon Bulls Bro Alex. So Alex brings in last week's guest David for his thoughts on a brutal end to the Bulls' 2021-22 NBA season. They then make their picks for the 2022 Eastern Conference semis.

Special guest David joins Bulls Bros Alex and Max to discuss a surprisingly delightful 3-6 first-round matchup for your Chicago Bulls against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the reigning NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks, who are suddenly dealing some bad injury luck of their own. Can Chicago actually pull off the upset?

Chicago has had a terrible run down the home stretch of the 2021-22 regular season, tumbling from the top of the East to the conference's sixth seed as the playoffs loom.

(Note: This episode was recorded on April 7th, 2022, prior to the Bulls' blowout 133-117 loss to MJ's Charlotte Hornets on April 8th and their narrow 120-116 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 10th. Their first-round opponent is the Milwaukee Bucks.)

The Bulls are shoring up their front court with legitimate size and championship pedigree, thanks to newly-added reserve big Tristan Thompson (most recently of the Pacers and Kings). Zach is back, but still dealing with knee issues. DeMar makes history.

So many Bulls are hurt. Chicago is getting blown out by the Magic. Will the banged-up Bulls fall into the play-in bracket?

The Bulls Bros also discuss out-of-the-box trade ideas and how the Milwaukee Bucks have now become Public Enemy No. 1 in Chicago.

After a nine-game winning streak, injuries to four (four!) power forwards hobbled the Chicago Bulls, and the team had lost two of their next three games at the time of this recording (1/13/22). The Bros travel around the league to consider power forward trade targets.

The day after the Bulls Bros recorded this episode, a shorthanded Chicago team would lose 138-96 at home to the Golden State Warriors and Zach LaVine would exit early with a knee injury....

Recorded on 12/19/21. The Bulls Bros have plenty to talk about with the Bulls back in action after seeing two games postponed (at the time of recording; there has been a third since) due to lack of players.

The Bulls Bros look at your Chicago Bulls' past three weeks of game action since the last episode, during which time the Bulls have gone 7-4 overall, including their current four-game win streak. The Bros then preview how Chicago can stay afloat over the next few games, now that DeMar DeRozan, Javonte Green, and Coby White are sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols, and Alex Caruso is hampered by a hamstring injury.

Chicago is currently the No. 2 seed in the East with an impressive 17-8 record.

Recorded on 11/17/21, prior to the Bulls' eventual loss to the Trail Blazers, the Bulls Bros were excited about Chicago's solid Circus Trip thus far, which included big wins over the Lakers and Clippers.

The Bulls are tied for the best record in the East (5-1), playing stifling defense as their offense continues to develop. How will the team adjust to the long-term absence of Patrick Williams and Zach LaVine's thumb injury? Related: Alex has a trade idea that Max hates.
