The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 120-119 overtime loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the latest movement in the Eastern Conference standings as we near the conclusion of the NBA’s regular season. As it stands, the Bulls would play the loser between Philadelphia and Miami in the #7 vs #8 Play-In Tournament game, if they beat Atlanta first. The Bulls were eliminated by the Heat in last season’s second Play-In game. The Bulls had some success against both teams this season, splitting 2-2 wi...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 113-98 loss to the Orlando Magic on Sunday night. The low volume and efficiency behind the three-point line was familiar.

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss one the Bulls’ biggest issues this season: the compounded problem of inconsistent three-point shooting while giving up way too many good looks beyond the arc to their opponents. The Bulls allowed a lot of open threes to their opponents last season too, but still managed to have a top-five defense. So what has changed, exactly? The numbers are alarming, and the trend is too strong to ignore. Matt, Big Dav...

The CHGO Bulls crew react to Thursday’s news that the Bulls signed Javonte Green to a contract for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
