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.

The new-look Bulls notched an uncomfortably close 94-88 victory over the Pistons in their first game of the 2021-22 NBA season on Wednesday night, October 20th, 2021, largely off the back of... defense? Plus a typically efficient 34-point, 7-rebound, 4-assist All-Star performance from Zach LaVine.

The Bulls Bros are elated that underwhelming reserve power forward Lauri Markkanen somehow tricked the Cavaliers into signing him to a four-year, $67 million deal in a three-team sign-and-trade that netted the Bulls Derrick Jones Jr. and future draft picks.

In the podcast's inaugural episode, the Bulls Bros discuss the new-look Bulls' exciting 2021 offseason up to this point, and the still-TBD fate of RFA power forward Lauri Markkanen.
