The CHGO Bulls crew continues their individual player evaluations of the 2021-22 season with Coby White, who returned from offseason shoulder surgery with an inconsistent year. Coby’s role changed frequently throughout the season, going from the bench to occasional starts and back to the bench. He had some hot stretches shooting the ball, but unfortunately was mostly cold down the final stretch of the season when the Bulls really needed his three-point shooting. The Bulls exercised the option on his contract for next season, so will he be back? Or might he be included in an offseason trade to address a more pressing need on the roster?Matt, Big Dave & Will also begin the show by reacting to the news that Zach LaVine will undergo a scope procedure on his left knee sometime in the coming weeks.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OU

The CHGO Bulls crew continues their individual player evaluations of the 2021-22 season with Zach LaVine, who made the All Star team for the second straight season and went to the playoffs for the first time in his NBA career. Zach greatly benefitted from the arrival of DeMar DeRozan, finding more room to operate on offense and getting more easy looks playing off the ball. He was on pace to flirt with his first All NBA selection before a nagging knee injury interrupted the back half of his season. Matt, Big Dave & John grade Zach’s season and project what the offseason and beyond holds for the unrestricted free agent.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: http://www.allchgo.com/newsletterSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the Poin

The CHGO Bulls crew addresses the new rumor that the Portland Trailblazers could be a landing spot for Zach LaVine in his unrestricted free agency this summer. Then they continue their individual player evaluations of the 2021-22 season with Alex Caruso, whose wrist injury derailed an All-Defensive Team season. Caruso proved to be a great offseason addition right away with his incredible defense and high-IQ play on the offensive end. Unfortunately he missed half the season when the fall after Grayson Allen’s flagrant foul broke his wrist. Matt, Big Dave & Will give their grades for Caruso’s first year with the Bulls and discuss how he can bring even more to the team next season.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_SportsInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: http://www.allchgo.com/newsletterSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe o

The CHGO Bulls crew continues their individual player evaluations of the 2021-22 season with Patrick Williams, who missed all but 17 regular season games with a fractured wrist. After breaking his wrist in the fifth game of the season, The Paw returned earlier than his projected timeline and played the final dozen games of the regular season. On the whole, his sample of games was underwhelming. He still doesn't show much aggression on offense, and has some discipline issues on defense. Year three will be hugely important to Patrick's development and the team's success. The guys discuss whether they believe he'll take that next step. Matt, Big Dave, Will & Mark also wrap the show with some thoughts on Nikola Jokic winning the MVP award again this season and the weekend's NBA playoff action.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OUR F

The CHGO Bulls crew continues their individual player evaluations of the 2021-22 season with Lonzo Ball, who brought stellar defense and sharpshooting but only played 35 games. Ball’s absence from injury really showed just how important he was to this team on both ends of the floor.

The guys dive further into the common talking points among Bulls fans who don't want to see the Bulls sign Zach LaVine to a max contract and why so many of them are false or misleading. Mark K's recent column approached it from every angle: Zach's performance compared to similarly tiered stars, Zach's previous and upcoming contracts compared to those similarly tiered stars, the Bulls cap situation entering this offseason, and the different kind of max contracts that exist in the Collective Bargaining Agreement of today's NBA. All reasonable logic points to the Bulls signing LaVine to a max contract as the best course of action. So why are so many Bulls fans hesitant? Matt, Big Dave, Will and Mark then wrap the episode with a discussion of the NBA playoffs as we enter the conference semifinals.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottlieb / @mkhoopsInstagram: @CHGO_Spor

Karnisovas talked about building continuity with this core of players, while also admitting they’ll remain open to all ideas and potential roster moves.

The Chicago Bulls 2021-22 season ended with a 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round of the playoffs, so what happens next? Will Zach LaVine having offseason knee surgery impact the front office's decision to sign him to a long-term deal? Just how serious is the situation with Lonzo Ball and his knee injury? Which Bulls players impressed us with their play this season, and which ones left us wanting more? Assuming the core remains intact next season, what kind of fringe roster moves should Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley make to compliment the current pieces and push the team closer to being a real contender? Will Coby White and Nikola Vucevic still be here when next season tips off?

Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls 116-100 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 5 on Wednesday night, ending the Bulls 2021-22 season. Without the services of Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso, the Bulls continued their three-point shooting woes in Game 5 as the Bucks jumped out to an early lead and controlled the game from wire to wire. The Bulls shot a franchise-record 52 threes, making just 15 of them. The Bucks stuck with their strategy of daring anyone other than DeMar DeRozan to beat them, and it worked again to perfection. Where do the Bulls go from here, and what moves might the front office make this offseason to improve the roster and push them closer to championship contention?SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: http://www.allchgo.com/newsletterSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our spon

The Bulls are in big trouble, trailing the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks 3-1 in their first round playoff series. DeMar DeRozan has no room to get to the basket, seeing regular double teams and giant Bucks defenders packing the paint. Unfortunately, not enough Bulls role players are hitting the open shots that this Bucks defense is giving them. And now, Zach LaVine has been placed in health and safety protocols, almost guaranteed to rule him out for Game 5. Coupled with that is the unsolvable problem of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is perfectly carving the Bulls defense through either brute force or his impressive passing out of double teams. And his teammates are making their shots. Is there any way the Bulls can pull off a Game 5 win to keep the series and their season alive? Matt, Big Dave & Will break it down in today’s episode.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports

The guys break down the Bulls 119-95 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 4 on Sunday. Giannis Antetokounmpo manipulated the Bulls defense to perfection, dominating physically at times and dishing out to shooters at others on his way to 32 points, 17 rebounds and 7 assists. Zach LaVine started hot for the Bulls, and had his best game of the series with 24 points and 13 assists. But DeMar DeRozan had another tough shooting game (8-20) and none of the Bulls' supporting cast stepped up until it was too late. Matt and Big Dave also discuss how Bulls fans should view this series (and season) if Game 5 is the end, and what this roster needs this offseason.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: http://www.allchgo.com/newsletterSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/

Matt, Big Dave & Will break down the Bulls 111-81 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 on Friday night. The Bucks jumped on the Bulls from the start, drilling threes and preventing the Bulls from getting the looks they wanted on offense. DeMar DeRozan only took nine shots following his 41-point Game 2, Zach LaVine looked uncomfortable and the Bulls bench gave them next to nothing. Patrick Williams also had a dud night after an encouraging performance in Game 2. This was a rude wake-up call for the Bulls, who will now try to even the series in Game 4 on Sunday.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottliebInstagram: @CHGO_SportsGET OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: http://www.allchgo.com/newsletterSupport us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:PointsBet: Visit https://bit.ly/3sE8RMe or download the PointsBet App, make a deposit and use code “CHGO” to get 2 Ris

Matt, Big Dave, Will & Mark discuss DeMar DeRozan's dominant performance matched up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Billy Donovan's shorter bench in the Bulls' Game 2 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. DeRozan hit 8 of his 9 shots with Giannis as his primary defender on Wednesday night on his way to a playoff career-high 41 points. Will Giannis and the Bucks be more aggressive with DeMar in Game 3? Also, the Bulls reserves played significantly fewer minutes in Game 2 than in Game 1. Should we expect to see a continuation of that trend as the series shifts to Chicago? The guys weigh costs and benefits of Billy leaning on his starters for extra minutes vs using bench-heavy lineups for longer stretches. They wrap up the show discussing the flawed and overused trope of Zach LaVine not being a "team first" player.SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/c/CHGOSportsWEBSITE: http://allCHGO.com/BUY MERCH: http://CHGOLocker.comFOLLOW ON SOCIAL:Twitter: @CHGO_Bulls / @Bulls_Peck / @BawlSports / @wontgottlieb / @mkhoopsInstagr
