Both reports confirmed the Bulls are still very unlikely to deal Caruso, bu...

Matt, Big Dave and Will discuss the final possessi...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 140-131 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night. The Bulls' electric, beautiful team basketball in the first half - which led to 75 points - couldn't withstand the Warriors onslaught of the third quarter. Klay Thompson led a furious rally, and the Bulls defense allowed 48 points in the twelve minutes following halftime. Perhaps it was karma, after...

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Bulls 124-119 overtime win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night. The Bulls nearly blew this one, as a 16-point fourth quarter lead disappeared during some ugly DeMar DeRozan isolation possessions down the stretch.
