Locked On Bulls - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bulls

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, their fourth consecutive loss. Nikola Vucevic couldn't build off his strong game against Boston, scoring just 7 points on 2-13 from the field and getting cooked repeatedly on defense. Bulls fans may have reached their breaking point with the big man, but what about the Bulls front office? The Bulls also struggled with turnovers, and continued to feel the absences of Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, Javonte Green...the list goes on. A few bright spots in the Memphis loss were the young backcourt duo of Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu, and the surprisingly effective Malcolm Hill, who played 30 minutes off the bench after quickly earning a two-way contract to stay with the Bulls.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls' weekend losses to the Warriors and Celtics. The Bulls showed an inexcusable lack of effort and got blown out in another primetime matchup against the Warriors on Friday night, and followed it with a much better effort but another loss to the Celtics on Saturday. The guys talk about their keys to those games, including a standout performance from Ayo Dosunmu against Boston. Then they talk through several roster changes and injury updates on Devon Dotson, Malcolm Hill, Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso and Javonte Green. The Bulls added another wing in Hill, but is there still a move coming from the front office to add power forward depth before the deadline?

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave listen to your voicemails, including a caller who proposes a trade for Jerami Grant. Should the Bulls offer Patrick Williams, Derrick Jones Jr and the Portland pick for the Pistons forward? Other callers' topics include a look at the Bulls' daunting upcoming schedule, whether Stacey King is working his magic on NBA officials, weighing Tyler Cook's effectiveness compared to Tony Bradley, and some noble folks reminding their fellow Bulls fans to remain calm after the blowout loss to Brooklyn.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave are joined by Chicago Bulls Central host Haize to break down the Bulls disappointing blowout loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday night. Without overreacting, what should Bulls fans take away from this game? Does it mean anything more than a hot Nets shooting night and the Bulls still missing key defensive pieces? Was Nikola Vucevic the main problem on defense, or was it a team-wide lack of defensive discipline? Does a game like this signal the need for the Bulls front office to make a major trade before the deadline?

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 133-87 win over the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday night. It looked like another lackluster performance out of the gate, but the Bulls responded after an ugly 1st quarter by outscoring Detroit 105-60 the rest of the way. Credit to Ayo Dosunmu and Troy Brown Jr, who sparked the Bulls with much-needed defensive focus and intensity off the bench. From there, the Bulls offense picked Detroit apart, with 33 assists on 50 field goals. Nikola Vucevic also had a strong response to his recent struggles with a monster 3rd quarter, single-handedly outscoring the Pistons 16-14 in the game's deciding frame. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan had quiet nights scoring, but combined for 14 of those 33 assists. Winning team basketball, ladies and gentlemen.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the latest NBA trade deadline buzz, and give previews of upcoming matchups against the Pistons and Nets. Shams Charania's latest report with trade deadline candidate teams and players made zero mention of the Bulls. Why is that, and what if anything does it mean? Then the guys take a look at the Bulls' next two matchups, a back-to-back against the 8-win Detroit Pistons and the 2nd place Brooklyn Nets. Can the Bulls improve upon their collective 4-0 record against these two teams? How will Kyrie Irving's impact change the game plan compared to the first two games against Brooklyn?

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the Bulls' 113-99 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night. Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic both struggled with their shot tonight, and the Bulls struggled to defend the Mavs' pick and roll offense. Maxi Kleber was also a huge factor for Dallas, matching a career-high with 6 made three-pointers.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave take texts and emails from listeners, with many questions related to whether or not the Bulls front office will make an all-in move before the trade deadline. Arturas Karnisovas did a radio interview on Thursday, and straddled the fence on potential roster moves. He loves this team's quickly built chemistry, but will he and Marc Eversley be willing to make one more big swing if they can identify and acquire the final piece of a championship run? Also, why is the gap in All Star votes so large between DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine?

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave discuss Joel Embiid earning Eastern Conference Player of the Month honors over DeMar DeRozan. Would DeMar have won the award if he didn't miss some games in health and safety protocols? Zach LaVine put up pretty impressive December numbers too. The guys also talk about how the Bulls have managed to climb to the #1 seed in the East despite being one of the teams to get hit hardest by a Covid-19 outbreak on their roster. They guys finish up the episode taking a look at the back end of the Bulls roster and evaluating which 10-day contract players just might stick around.
