Chicago Bulls fans are buzzing—is Nic Claxton or Michael Porter Jr. the missing piece for a true rebuild? Haize and Pat the Designer examine whether the Bulls should target Brooklyn Nets’ rim-protecting center Nick Claxton or scoring forward Michael Porter Jr. as potential trade options, questioning if either truly moves the needle or simply shifts the scoring burden. The pair debate Claxton's defensive impact, contract situation, and fit alongside key guards, while weighing Porter Jr.’s injury history and role consistency. The conversation heats up with candid thoughts on the Bulls' leadership void, the need for a locker room enforcer, and how chemistry issues might be more about on-court accountability than off-court friction. With trade windows opening, can Chicago shake off their losing streak and find an identity, or will waiting for a superstar lead to more stagnation? Don’t miss this sharp take on whether Claxton or Porter Jr. could spark the Bulls’ turnaround. Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Chicago Bulls spiral to their second five-game losing streak, sparking fierce debate: Are they the worst team in the NBA? Haize and Pat the Designer break down lackluster performances, a glaring absence of defensive effort, and the stalling development of key draft picks like Patrick Williams and Matas Buzelis. Disheartened by poor chemistry and visible apathy, they question whether Billy Donovan and front office leaders should be held accountable—or if a roster overhaul is inevitable for meaningful change. The conversation explores potential trades, disappointment with Artūras Karnišovas’s relentless "project" picks, and how expiring contracts could shape the offseason. Highlights include Ayo Dosunmu and Josh Giddy as lone bright spots and a comparison of Bulls’ effort to struggling teams like the Hornets and Wizards. With the Bulls slated to face the Pacers next, can this roster rediscover urgency, or is Chicago’s season already lost?   Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50 the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

The Bulls are spiraling, the fanbase is frustrated, and the questions are louder than ever. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat dig into the heart of the issues surrounding Chicago’s slide and break down three major topics shaping the team’s future. First, we tackle the big one: How much of this is on the coaching staff? From rotations to effort lapses to in-game adjustments, the guys evaluate Billy Donovan and the staff’s role in the Bulls’ ongoing struggles. Then we shift to the team: Can the Bulls realistically turn this losing stretch around? Haize and Pat examine the schedule, the roster, the chemistry challenges, and the players who must step up if a turnaround is even possible. And finally — the conversation Bulls Nation is waiting for — are trades more or less likely now? With losses piling up and pressure rising, we break down what direction the front office could take and whether the odds of a shakeup are increasing. Real analysis. Real questions. Real Bulls talk. 🎙️ This is Locked On Bulls — Let’s get into it.  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50 the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

The Bulls are sliding, the noise is growing, and the trade rumors are heating up. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat dive into the growing buzz around a potential Domantas Sabonis trade, breaking down why Chicago has been linked to the multi-time All-Star and what a realistic package would even look like. Would Sabonis fix the Bulls’ biggest weaknesses, or just shift the problems elsewhere? Then we take a hard look at the Bulls’ recent losses and what they reveal about the front office’s mindset. Did this latest stretch push the team closer to making a move? Are the cracks too big to ignore now? Plus, we provide the latest Zach Collins return update, breaking down how his availability impacts rotations, defensive schemes, and the frontcourt depth the Bulls desperately need. Big questions. Honest answers.

Chicago Bulls unravel against the New Orleans Pelicans, exposing an alarming lack of effort and team chemistry. What’s behind Chicago’s struggle to win close games despite having talent like Nikola Vucevic, Patrick Williams, and Ayo Dosunmu? Haize and Pat the Designer spotlight the Bulls’ rebounding woes, Modestas Kanter’s defensive liabilities, and the squad’s apparent disinterest in getting “their hands dirty” on both ends of the court. The hosts question whether Billy Donovan’s voice still matters in the locker room and discuss his bold moves—like starting Patrick Williams at center—in a bid to spark change. Key talking points include the Bulls’ NBA-worst margin on the boards, second-chance points surrendered, and whether young bigs like Noah Essengue or Lachlan Olbrich deserve more minutes. Can Chicago rediscover its grit and salvage playoff hopes, or is this the start of a deeper crisis?  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50 the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

Bulls embarrass themselves against Detroit's skeleton crew, prompting Billy Donovan's harshest criticism yet: "We're not talented enough to not play desperate." Haize and Pat dissect Chicago's four-game collapse, focusing on Matas Buzelis's empty 21-point performance that lacked defensive effort and aggression. The conversation turns critical as they question why Nikola Vucevic continues getting fourth-quarter minutes despite averaging just 10.5 points on 37% shooting over four games while Jalen Smith outperforms him on fewer minutes. The hosts analyze the Bulls' defensive identity crisis after their six-game winning streak was built entirely on effort and turnovers. With Josh Giddey, Coby White, and Zach LaVine sidelined, this was the perfect opportunity for young players to step up—but instead, Paul Reed dropped 28 points and the Pistons' G-League roster outworked Chicago from opening tip. Tune in for unfiltered analysis on what went wrong and whether the Bulls can rediscover their winning formula when healthy players return.  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code NBA50 the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

The Chicago Bulls' three-game skid exposes a critical vulnerability: they lack a superstar closer when games tighten. Victor Wembanyama's dominant 38-point performance, including 18 in the fourth quarter alone, highlighted how elite talent can overwhelm solid team defense. Without Josh Giddy and Coby White, the Bulls struggled to identify their go-to scorer down the stretch, with Billy Donovan cycling through lineups searching for answers. The most glaring weakness? Double-big lineups are destroying Chicago's interior defense. Nikola Vucevic can't contain mobile bigs who attack off switches, and the Bulls lack roster depth to counter this strategy. Matas Buzelis showed offensive flashes but defensive lapses kept him benched during crunch time—a wake-up call that talent alone won't earn minutes. White's return to practice offers hope for fourth-quarter scoring punch, but questions remain about whether he can be that clutch performer. Tune in for an honest breakdown of Chicago's roster limitations and what adjustments might salvage this stretch.  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code  NBA50  the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

Chicago Bulls navigate Coby White's return as four-game gauntlet looms. Can they prove they're legitimate contenders? Coby White clears a major hurdle in his calf injury recovery, with the Bulls mapping out a cautious timeline for his reintegration into an offense that's thrived without him. The discussion breaks down how White's return impacts the rotation, why rookie Noa Essengue is headed to the G League for extended development, and what defensive scheme adjustments have transformed Nikola Vucevic and Josh Giddey into career-best defenders. The Bulls face their toughest test yet with upcoming matchups against Milwaukee, Cleveland, San Antonio, and Detroit—all playoff-caliber teams featuring Giannis Antetokounmpo, Donovan Mitchell, and Victor Wembanyama. Haize and Pat analyze whether Chicago's second-ranked bench unit and improved defensive identity can withstand this brutal stretch. Tune in for insider perspectives on Matas Buzelis's development blueprint, why the Bulls' zone coverage is revolutionizing their defense, and whether a 2-2 record in this gauntlet confirms their Eastern Conference legitimacy.  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code  NBA50  the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

The Chicago Bulls pulled off a stunning 24-point comeback against the Philadelphia 76ers, with Josh Giddey recording his second consecutive triple-double to lead the charge. Can the Bulls' defensive intensity and fourth-quarter execution signal a legitimate shift in their competitive trajectory? Hosts Pat and Hayes break down how Chicago dominated the final three quarters, holding Joel Embiid scoreless in the fourth and limiting Tyrese Maxey's impact when it mattered most. They analyze Giddey's MVP-level performance through six games, Nikola Vucevic's clutch game-winner, and Matas Buzelis bouncing back after getting targeted early by Kelly Oubre. The discussion explores Billy Donovan's coaching resurgence, the team's 6-1 record atop the division, and whether this Bulls squad has the grit to sustain their surprising start. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of Chicago's statement win and what it reveals about their identity as legitimate Eastern Conference contenders.  Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code  NBA50  the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

Chicago Bulls suffer first loss as depth becomes double-edged sword against Knicks The Chicago Bulls' 5-0 start came crashing down in New York, exposing a critical vulnerability in their roster construction. Without Ayo Dosunmu's energy, Coby White's scoring punch, and facing foul trouble from Kevin Huerter, the Bulls discovered that their greatest asset—roster depth—transforms into a liability when key rotation pieces disappear. Haize breaks down how the Knicks exploited Chicago's depleted lineup, why Matas Buzelis settled for perimeter shots instead of attacking the rim, and what Nikola Vucevic and Zach LaVine must do differently moving forward. The analysis covers Noah Essengue's G League assignment as part of Billy Donovan's development blueprint, the Bulls' inability to get to the free-throw line, and how this team must respond to adversity without the luxury of proven star power. Discover why this loss reveals more about the Bulls' championship potential than their hot start ever could. Call or text the show: (331) 240-1180 Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOBulls?sid=YouTube Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA  Follow Locked On Bulls on TwitterLocked On Bulls: https://twitter.com/LockedOnBullsHaize: https://twitter.com/CEOHaizePat: https://twitter.com/PatTheDesigner Support us by supporting our sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors:DoorDashNext time someone goes off for 50, use promo code  NBA50  the next day to get 50% off on DoorDash with DashPass — plus your shot at the Bag Drop.  DashPass members only. 50% off up to $10 the day after a 50-point game with promo code.

The comment at the beginning of the Show about the Shot coming in at 200 yds away with laughter was completely uncalled for. I'v been a subscriber for years and you have lost me. Also a subscriber to other Locked On shows and your own podcasts. That was in terrible taste. I know u both have kids and you joke about children losing their father. Shame on u both

Big Dave, Re: Cleveland.. I live in SE Ohio, not Cleveland. But I understand that, maybe because of Lake Erie, Cleveland's always overcast. Maybe it affects you? It does me - wish it didn't, as theres lots of cool people & stuff there. ✌🏻

How was the beginning subject racist? A financial grab yes, but racist? So there was a kabal of white men sitting around trying to figure out how to racially put the screws to blacks because they felt genetically superior? We throw that term around for everything nowadays .
