Chicago Bulls spiral to their second five-game losing streak, sparking fierce debate: Are they the worst team in the NBA? Haize and Pat the Designer break down lackluster performances, a glaring absence of defensive effort, and the stalling development of key draft picks like Patrick Williams and Matas Buzelis. Disheartened by poor chemistry and visible apathy, they question whether Billy Donovan and front office leaders should be held accountable—or if a roster overhaul is inevitable for meaningful change. The conversation explores potential trades, disappointment with Artūras Karnišovas’s relentless "project" picks, and how expiring contracts could shape the offseason. Highlights include Ayo Dosunmu and Josh Giddy as lone bright spots and a comparison of Bulls’ effort to struggling teams like the Hornets and Wizards. With the Bulls slated to face the Pacers next, can this roster rediscover urgency, or is Chicago’s season already lost?

The Bulls are spiraling, the fanbase is frustrated, and the questions are louder than ever. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat dig into the heart of the issues surrounding Chicago’s slide and break down three major topics shaping the team’s future. First, we tackle the big one: How much of this is on the coaching staff? From rotations to effort lapses to in-game adjustments, the guys evaluate Billy Donovan and the staff’s role in the Bulls’ ongoing struggles. Then we shift to the team: Can the Bulls realistically turn this losing stretch around? Haize and Pat examine the schedule, the roster, the chemistry challenges, and the players who must step up if a turnaround is even possible. And finally — the conversation Bulls Nation is waiting for — are trades more or less likely now? With losses piling up and pressure rising, we break down what direction the front office could take and whether the odds of a shakeup are increasing. Real analysis. Real questions. Real Bulls talk. 🎙️ This is Locked On Bulls — Let’s get into it.

The Bulls are sliding, the noise is growing, and the trade rumors are heating up. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat dive into the growing buzz around a potential Domantas Sabonis trade, breaking down why Chicago has been linked to the multi-time All-Star and what a realistic package would even look like. Would Sabonis fix the Bulls’ biggest weaknesses, or just shift the problems elsewhere? Then we take a hard look at the Bulls’ recent losses and what they reveal about the front office’s mindset. Did this latest stretch push the team closer to making a move? Are the cracks too big to ignore now? Plus, we provide the latest Zach Collins return update, breaking down how his availability impacts rotations, defensive schemes, and the frontcourt depth the Bulls desperately need. Big questions.

Chicago Bulls unravel against the New Orleans Pelicans, exposing an alarming lack of effort and team chemistry. What’s behind Chicago’s struggle to win close games despite having talent like Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams, and Ayo Dosunmu? Haize and Pat the Designer spotlight the Bulls’ rebounding woes, Modestas Kanter’s defensive liabilities, and the squad’s apparent disinterest in getting “their hands dirty” on both ends of the court. The hosts question whether Billy Donovan’s voice still matters in the locker room and discuss his bold moves—like starting Patrick Williams at center—in a bid to spark change. Key talking points include the Bulls’ NBA-worst margin on the boards, second-chance points surrendered, and whether young bigs like Noah Essengue or Lachlan Olbrich deserve more minutes. Can Chicago rediscover its grit and salvage playoff hopes, or is this the start of a deeper crisis?

The Bulls wrapped up the week with a 3-2 record, but the story goes way deeper than the wins and losses. Haize and Pat break down what this stretch actually revealed — from the moments of real progress to the frustrating habits that still refuse to die. Are the Bulls trending upward, or just treading water? Then we look ahead to what the guys are calling “Trap Week.” With opponents the Bulls should beat on paper, this upcoming slate could either build momentum… or expose everything Chicago hasn’t fixed. Haize and Pat map out the danger zones and the matchups that could swing the week. Plus, we’re giving Coby White’s return an honest rating. Two games in — how’s his rhythm? His decision-making? His impact on the starting unit? The guys debate what’s real, what’s rust, and what the Bulls can expect from Coby moving forward. Bold takes. Real analysis.

The Bulls are searching for answers, and today’s episode dives straight into the biggest questions facing this team as the season heats up. Haize and Pat break down whether the Bulls’ starting five can finally match the energy and physicality the bench has been bringing all year — or if the issues run deeper than effort alone. With Coby White officially back for his second game, we take a close look at how his rhythm, shot creation, and on-ball pressure change the dynamic of the starting unit. Is this the spark the Bulls desperately need, or is there still work to do? And then the big one… 👀 Will Nikola Vucevic or Isaac Okoro be the next player on the chopping block for Billy Donovan’s rotation tweaks? The guys debate which direction the coaching staff may lean — and what it means for the Bulls’ identity moving forward. Tap in for bold takes, deep analysis, and the real conversation Bulls fans are having right now. 🎙️ This is Locked On Bulls. Let’s get into it.

Bulls embarrass themselves against Detroit's skeleton crew, prompting Billy Donovan's harshest criticism yet: "We're not talented enough to not play desperate." Haize and Pat dissect Chicago's four-game collapse, focusing on Matas Buzelis's empty 21-point performance that lacked defensive effort and aggression. The conversation turns critical as they question why Nikola Vucevic continues getting fourth-quarter minutes despite averaging just 10.5 points on 37% shooting over four games while Jalen Smith outperforms him on fewer minutes. The hosts analyze the Bulls' defensive identity crisis after their six-game winning streak was built entirely on effort and turnovers. With Josh Giddey, Coby White, and Zach LaVine sidelined, this was the perfect opportunity for young players to step up—but instead, Paul Reed dropped 28 points and the Pistons' G-League roster outworked Chicago from opening tip. Tune in for unfiltered analysis on what went wrong and whether the Bulls can rediscover their winning formula when healthy players return.

The defense has held strong through a hybrid zone system, but questions linger about whether this roster has a true go-to scorer in crunch time. Plus, rookie Noa Essengue drops 28 points in his G League debut, showcasing the smooth, finesse-driven game that could eventually earn him NBA minutes. With Nikola Vucevic anchoring the paint and key rotation pieces like Ayo Dosunmu and Zach LaVine working back to full health, the Bulls face a pivotal stretch.

The Chicago Bulls' three-game skid exposes a critical vulnerability: they lack a superstar closer when games tighten. Victor Wembanyama's dominant 38-point performance, including 18 in the fourth quarter alone, highlighted how elite talent can overwhelm solid team defense. Without Josh Giddy and Coby White, the Bulls struggled to identify their go-to scorer down the stretch, with Billy Donovan cycling through lineups searching for answers. The most glaring weakness? Double-big lineups are destroying Chicago's interior defense. Nikola Vucevic can't contain mobile bigs who attack off switches, and the Bulls lack roster depth to counter this strategy. Matas Buzelis showed offensive flashes but defensive lapses kept him benched during crunch time—a wake-up call that talent alone won't earn minutes. White's return to practice offers hope for fourth-quarter scoring punch, but questions remain about whether he can be that clutch performer. Tune in for an honest breakdown of Chicago's roster limitations and what adjustments might salvage this stretch.

Hosts Pat and Hayes break down how Chicago dominated the final three quarters, holding Joel Embiid scoreless in the fourth and limiting Tyrese Maxey's impact when it mattered most. They analyze Giddey's MVP-level performance through six games, Nikola Vucevic's clutch game-winner, and Matas Buzelis bouncing back after getting targeted early by Kelly Oubre. The discussion explores Billy Donovan's coaching resurgence, the team's 6-1 record atop the division, and whether this Bulls squad has the grit to sustain their surprising start.

Chicago Bulls suffer first loss as depth becomes double-edged sword against Knicks The Chicago Bulls' 5-0 start came crashing down in New York, exposing a critical vulnerability in their roster construction. Without Ayo Dosunmu's energy, Coby White's scoring punch, and facing foul trouble from Kevin Huerter, the Bulls discovered that their greatest asset—roster depth—transforms into a liability when key rotation pieces disappear. Haize breaks down how the Knicks exploited Chicago's depleted lineup, why Matas Buzelis settled for perimeter shots instead of attacking the rim, and what Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine must do differently moving forward. The analysis covers Noah Essengue's G League assignment as part of Billy Donovan's development blueprint, the Bulls' inability to get to the free-throw line, and how this team must respond to adversity without the luxury of proven star power. Discover why this loss reveals more about the Bulls' championship potential than their hot start ever could.

Matas Buzelis exploded for 27 points against his predecessors DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, signaling a new era at the United Center. The Bulls' young core is playing with grit, identity, and team-first basketball that hasn't been seen in years. Josh Giddey and Buzelis combined for 47 points, leading a balanced attack with six players in double figures. The Bulls overcame a 12-point deficit with relentless defense—currently ranked second in the NBA—and unselfish offense leading the league in assists. Tre Jones continues his $8 million bargain performance, while Billy Donovan's coaching shines brighter than it has in seasons. The depth is real, the chemistry is undeniable, and even an in-season tournament run feels possible. Discover why this Bulls team feels sustainable, how their 90s-era mentality is translating to wins, and whether Chicago fans can finally believe again.

Chicago Bulls shock the league with a 3-0 start, but can depth alone carry them to contention? Haize and Pat the Designer examine whether GM Arturas Karnisovas's controversial theory about needing 8-10 good players to compete holds water, drawing parallels to the 2012-13 Denver Nuggets' 58-win season built on balance rather than star power. The hosts break down the Bulls' path to becoming a legitimate free agent destination in summer 2026 with $110 million in cap space, addressing Chicago's surprising reputation problem around the league and what it takes to attract stars like Jalen Duren or Jonathan Kuminga. The conversation heats up over whether the Bulls should aggressively trade up in the loaded 2026 draft class—even if it means moving Matas Buzelis—to land a franchise-altering talent like Cameron Boozer. Tune in for an honest assessment of the Bulls' roster construction, AK's draft misses, and the franchise's championship timeline.
