Locked On Bulls - Daily Podcast On The Chicago Bulls

With the All-Star break behind us, the real evaluation begins. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat break down post-ASB expectations for key pieces who could shape the Chicago Bulls’ second-half trajectory.
 
First up: Anfernee Simons. What should fans expect from Simons offensively after the break? Can he raise his efficiency, take command in clutch situations, and become the reliable scoring option Chicago needs down the stretch? 🏀🔥
 
Next, the spotlight shifts to Jaden Ivey and what growth must look like in the second half of the season. The guys analyze his development curve, defensive consistency, decision-making, and whether he can take another leap as the games intensify. 📈🐂
 
Finally, the biggest question: Billy Donovan. What does success look like for the Bulls’ head coach after the break? Is this stretch about playoff positioning, player development, or setting the foundation for a bigger offseason pivot? Haize and Pat examine Donovan’s adjustments, rotation management, and long-term fit. 👀💼
 
Second-half expectations. Player growth. Coaching pressure.

The Chicago Bulls dropped another tough one, but Rob Dillingham stepped up and led the way in the loss, showing flashes of why he remains one of the most intriguing young pieces on the roster. Haize and Pat break down Dillingham’s performance, what it means for his development, and whether he’s beginning to carve out a larger role moving forward. 🐂🔥
 
With losses stacking up, the bigger question becomes unavoidable:
How many games will the Bulls realistically win this season?
The guys analyze the remaining schedule, current trajectory, and whether Chicago is trending toward play-in territory — or something much lower. 📉📊
 
And then comes the hardest conversation:
Does ownership truly care about competing right now?
Haize and Pat examine roster decisions, deadline inactivity, and what signals the organization is sending to fans during this stretch. 👀💼
 
Young talent showing promise. Record sliding. Accountability looming.

The Chicago Bulls have now dropped five straight games, and the questions are getting louder. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat break down what’s fueling the losing streak, where the breakdowns are happening, and whether this slide signals something deeper about the team’s ceiling. 🐂📉
 
With the All-Star Break (ASB) approaching, the guys examine whether the time off can realistically reset this roster. Will rest, adjustments, and a mental break change the trajectory — or are the issues structural? 🔄🏀
 
And with losses piling up, it’s time to ask the uncomfortable question:
Is it time to start NBA Draft coverage?
Haize and Pat discuss whether Bulls fans should begin shifting focus toward lottery positioning, draft prospects, and long-term planning instead of chasing short-term wins. 📊🔥
 
Five straight losses. Break coming up. Future decisions looming.

Locked On Bulls
Hosted by Haize & Pat The Designer
 
The Chicago Bulls are entering a pivotal stretch, and today’s episode takes a step back to evaluate where things truly stand. Haize and Pat share their honest feelings on the new Bulls so far, breaking down early chemistry, player fit, and whether the recent additions are trending toward long-term value or short-term patchwork. 🐂📊
 
Then the focus shifts to the bigger picture — what should the Bulls’ offseason strategy look like? Should Chicago lean into a full rebuild, prioritize development, or try to retool around the current core? The guys outline realistic approaches the front office could take and what direction makes the most sense moving forward. 💼🔥
 
Finally, the coaching question looms large: Will Billy Donovan stay if the Bulls pivot toward a rebuild? Haize and Pat evaluate Donovan’s fit in a developmental timeline, what ownership might prefer, and how that decision could shape the franchise’s next chapter. 👀🏀
 
Roster evaluation. Strategic outlook. Coaching future.
