February 17, 2023 04:23 - 57 minutes

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 112-100 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. The Bulls were playing shorthanded themselves, but couldn't capitalize on an already shorthanded Bucks team losing Giannis Antetokounmpo in the second quarter to a wrist injury. Matt, Big Dave and Mark discuss the #TNTBulls streak finally coming to an end. Plus, Zach LaVine struggled in a game without his high-scoring partner DeMar DeRozan.

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Latest NBA Buyout Market Buzz Connecting Russell Westbrook to Bulls

February 14, 2023 22:21 - 1 hour

The CHGO Bulls crew discuss the continuing buzz on the NBA buyout market, which still includes the Bulls and Russell Westbrook being linked by several sources. With the Bulls season circling the drain, does it make sense to take a short-term gamble on Russ mixing things up and adding some fire to a team that appears to have thrown in the towel? Beyond that, would Russ really want to come play for a team that looks as defunct as the Bulls? What other players on the buyout market might have mut...

CHGO Bulls Podcast: Bulls Shooting Woes Continue in Loss to Magic

February 14, 2023 04:41 - 56 minutes

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 100-91 loss to the Orlando Magic on Monday night. The Bulls were held to 91 or fewer points for the third time in their last 4 games, all losses. Matt, Big Dave and Mark discuss the ongoing ice-cold shooting from three-point range, as the Bulls shot 3-21 in this one. With each bad loss, and shooting a real problem in most of them, the front office's inactivity at the trade deadline looks even more questionable. On the bright side, Dalen Terry was force...

February 12, 2023 04:26 - 52 minutes

Sound familiar...

The Chicago Sports Podcast: Bulls do NOTHING at NBA Trade Deadline. AGAIN!

February 10, 2023 21:00 - 1 hour

The Chicago Bulls did nothing at the NBA Trade Deadline and the worst part about it is that it doesn’t really come as a surprise. That’s because mediocrity has become acceptable within Jerry Reinsdorf’s franchises and it makes you wonder why he even bothers any more. Join Kevin Kaduk and Luke Stuckmeyer as they work through the Bulls standing pat with a flawed team in the ever-improving Eastern Conference. Also on the show, Mark Carman and Lawrence Benedetto join to talk about CHGO’s big week...

February 10, 2023 04:14 - 1 hour

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 116-105 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night. A couple hours after Bulls VP Arturas Karnisovas explained his reasons for making no deadline trades, the Bulls displayed their familiar trait of stinking it up from the three point line (5-26). Meanwhile, the new-look Nets handled the Bulls thanks to their new (old) friend Spencer Dinwiddie and lights out shooting from Joe Harris and Yuta Watanabe. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss what a loss like th...

February 08, 2023 04:43 - 1 hour

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 104-89 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night. The Bulls erased a 15-point deficit to take the lead late in the 3rd quarter, but a 14-point 4th quarter (their second such quarter of the night) doomed their chances in Memphis. Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the Bulls' familiar problems - turnovers, three point shooting, late game execution - as a fresh reminder to the front office of their roster's flaws in the final game before the trade deadl...

Zach LaVine led the way with 36, while DeMar DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic each chipped in with 20+ points as well. Matt and Big Dave discuss how encouraging it was to see the Bulls make a comeback rather than surrender one, and how they closed the game with s...

The Chicago Sports Podcast: Does Tom Brady have a GOAT case over Michael Jordan?

February 04, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour

Tom Brady has seven Super Bowl rings. Michael Jordan has six NBA Finals rings. We’re biased in Chicago and will never admit that anyone other than MJ is the greatest athlete of all time.

Kevin Kaduk and Luke Stuckmeyer try their damn best (though not really) on the latest episode of THE Chicago Sports Podcast.

Matt and Big Dave also discuss where the heck this Andre Drummond came from. He made history with a double-double in just 15 minutes off the bench.

The Chicago Sports Podcast: What are Chicago's new sports curses?

January 28, 2023 15:59 - 57 minutes

Chicago sports are in a bit of a rut if you haven’t noticed. It’s been 37 years since the Bears won a Super Bowl and 25 since the Bulls won an NBA championship.
