Locked On Bulls - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bulls

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the breaking news that the Bulls and Heat were each penalized one second round draft pick by the league after the conclusion of the tampering investigations. What does this mean for the Bulls, when will that pick be forfeited, and - in hindsight - was it all worth it in order to acquire Lonzo Ball from the Pelicans? Also, what does this say about the league's stance on tampering moving forward? The guys then close the show reacting to the news that Coby White has tested positive for Covid-19 and will miss the team's road trip to New York.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the Bulls 133-119 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night, thanks in part to a BIG night from Nikola Vucevic. The Bulls big man, who has struggled to start this season, went off for 30 points on 12-19 shooting including a perfect 6-6 from 3-point range. Zach LaVine played despite a non-Covid illness, and let the game come to him with 5 first half assists. Lonzo Ball showed his defense prowess against younger brother LaMelo Ball, and maybe got a couple of tough calls along the way. The Bulls struggled once again facing a zone defense, allowing the Hornets to creep back into the game. The guys discuss how the Bulls responded, and how they should deal with zone defenses moving forward.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave discuss takeaways from the past 3 games, with good and bad trends including 3rd quarter performances and the Bulls battling zone defenses. The loss to the Rockets might be the first truly BAD loss of the season, so what went wrong? The blowout win over Orlando was a strong response, and Coby White was attacking and efficient all night. The loss to Miami was respectably close despite a bad shooting night and too many turnovers, but it was also the latest example of the Bulls halfcourt offense struggling to score against zone defenses. What's the best way for Billy Donovan and the Bulls to improve their offense against those schemes?

What are the key matchups, Jimmy Butler nostalgia, and who has a better chance of coming out of the Eastern Conference between these two teams with strong starts?

On today's episode, Matt takes texts and emails from listeners, with topics including a hypothetical Harrison Barnes trade and resting DeMar DeRozan for soft matchups or back-to-backs. Could the Bulls offer Sacramento the best trade package if they get multiple offers for Harrison Barnes before the deadline? Should Billy Donovan consider resting DeMar on certain nights to preserve him for a playoff run? Other topics include Nikola Vucevic and Coby White building off the chemistry they started to develop last season, and whether or not Ayo Dosunmu's strong start to his rookie year is proving that Patrick Williams doesn't have the "it" factor.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the ugly Bulls loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. No Alex Caruso. Still no Nikola Vucevic. Second night of a back-to-back. 7th game in 10 days. Tired legs and a bad shooting night. All that added up to a dud against Indy. So what, if anything, should we take from this game? And how will the Bulls respond against the Rockets in Houston on Wednesday?

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the Bulls 109-103 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday night. DeMar DeRozan had his 6th 30+ point game of the season, and Coby White finally showed up with 14 points, including some big buckets late. Zach LaVine endured a frustrating night with the officials and inefficient shooting to bounce back with 10 of his 21 points in the 4th Quarter.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave react to the Bulls loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, breaking down what all went wrong that led to the late collapse. The Bulls got off to a great start, scoring at will while the defense clamped down on the Blazers duo of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. But a 15-point halftime lead shrank to 4 entering the 4th quarter thanks to TEN 3rd quarter turnovers. Some Bulls fans want to blame the refs, some want to blame Tony Bradley. So whose fault is it really? The guys break it down from every angle, and also highlight a few bright spots from the game.

On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave discuss the latest power rankings from NBA.com and ESPN, which have the Bulls at #2 and #7 respectively. Meanwhile, the Bulls are turning heads all over national NBA media, drawing recent praise from Shaq, Steve Nash and JJ Redick among others. Is it a good thing that people are finally buying the Bulls as a legitimate contender, or should we go back to them being overlooked for the sake of the chips on shoulders? The guys also take a look at the Portland Trail Blazers before tonight's matchup, particularly the early season struggles of Damian Lillard and the Blazers' split personalities playing at home vs on the road.
