Cash Considerations: A Chicago Bulls Pod

The Bulls are 3-0 in Zach LaVine's return to the lineup after OT victories over the Hornets and Rockets, both of which featured late-game collapses in regulation. While much has been made of LaVine's return and DeMar DeRozan's style of play in crunch time, Jason and Ricky keep their focus on Coby White and his breakout. Just how good is this Bulls team with this All-Star-caliber version of White? ...

After getting smacked by the Sixers in Philly, the Bulls competed for most of the night against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Unfortunately, the Bulls ran out of gas and dropped to 15-21 on the season with Zach LaVine set to return to the lineup. With LaVine's trade market still barren, he should have a lot to prove upon his return.  Interested in advertising on this podcast? Email  sales@b...

Jason and Ricky talk after the Bulls' 19-point win over the Spurs, which followed big wins over the Sixers and Lakers.

The development of Coby White and Patrick Williams has been key and helped turn this season around while changing the outlook...

The Bulls crashed back to reality with a tough overtime loss to the Bucks and a home loss to the Nuggets in a game where Nikola Jokic got ejected in ridiculous fashion, but Coby White continues to play at an extremely high level with Zach LaVine out and gives the franchise some hope for the future.

Jason and Ricky break down the Bulls' thrilling OT loss to the Suns, a game Chicago should have won with Devin Booker sidelined. While the Bulls did well to erase an early 18-point deficit behind the heroics of Alex Caruso, who almost single-handedly won the game, the loss leaves a bitter taste in the mouth given the lack of execution down the stretch.

Jason and Ricky discuss the state of the Bulls after their fifth game, a tough loss to the Mavericks. While the Bulls are 2-3 on the season, neither victory came via a sustainable formula, with the win over the Raptors an outright fluke comeback. The Bulls just haven't played well and don't look like a team with all that much upside to be substantially better. Blowing it up should be on the table,...
