Bulls Hq

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) recaps the week that was for our Chicago Bulls, focusing on the significant ankle injury that will keep Wendell Carter out for 4-6 weeks, the repercussions on rotations without Carter, the change that needs to be made in the defensive scheme now that Carter is gone, whether the Bulls can survive the next month without their center, and if not, is it in the best interests of the long-term state of the franchise for full on chaos to ensue?

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is by NBA YouTuber and podcaster Rusty Buckets (@rustyBUCKETS321) to discuss the latest news and game action surrounding the Chicago Bulls. Topic discussed include: The Bulls play improving against good competition, but being 10 games under .500, is it too little too late? The gap between Jim Boylen and opponent coaching, and his odd decision to shorten his rotation to eight players Zach LaVine's 35 points against the Celtics, and if his right role is to be a primary offensive option Is Coby White forming bad habits by being allowed to gun off the bench with reckless abandon?

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) to discuss yet another dominant Bulls win against a very bad Atlanta Hawks. By thumping the Hawks, the Bulls have now jumped up to 4th on defense this season. Mark and Fred discuss the validity of that ranking, if it is true reflection of team's skill and scheme, or more so related to their light schedule. Also on the show, Mark and Fred talk Wendell Carter and his improved (?) jump shot, whether Lauri Markkanen's improved play throughout December is enough to justify faith in his ceiling, where Markkanen ranks in comparison to his contemporaries from the 2017 draft, reports of the Los Angeles Clippers willing to trade for Thad Young, and what the Bulls should be doing at the deadline with Kris Dunn.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by you, the listener, to go over a very strange weekend of Bulls basketball. Despite the Bulls having an impressive win against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday, only a night earlier, the team had arguably its worst loss of the season to the Charlotte Hornets, forcing vice president John Paxson to face the media. In his address, he signalled no change and did little to reassure fans of the future of this team. Rightfully so, Bulls fans remained disappointed, prompting Mark to field calls from listeners to discuss the state of the franchise, the key reasons why fans are outraged, including ownership, the job security of management and coach Jim Boylen, and so much more.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Fred Pfeiffer (@cbefred) to discuss a set of competitive losses to the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors. But after dropping both games and falling to 8-17 on the season, do these moral victories even matter? Mark and Fred discuss this notion, as well as focusing on the late-game execution that has cost the Bulls in these games, the roster construction and if it has played it part in a disappointing start to the season, Jim Boylen and his rotations, the surprising play (for some) of Denzel Valentine, the United Center looking more empty each game, and so much more.
