Was Zach LaVine Snubbed?
On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis catches up on the latest new surrounding our Chicago Bulls, including the latest injury to Kris Dunn and what his absence means to the defense moving forward. Later in the show, Mark goes over Zach LaVine missing out on representing the Bulls in the All-Star game. While this undoubtably disappointing for LaVine, did he actually deserve to make it? If so, over who? Is it better for the long-term future of the franchise if no Bull is invited to participate during the weekend events? Finally, Mark closes out the show with a quick overview of the upcoming trade deadline. Thank you to this week's sponsor, BetOnline.ag.

Get well, Wendell
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?

The Bulls now have an elite defense...or do they?
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.

An Angry Bulls Fanbase Deserves Answers
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. Thank you to Vincent, K.C., Steven, Luigi, Pedro, Elias and Mikey for being part of the show.

Moral Victories in a Lost Season
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.

What's Wrong With Markkanen and LaVine?
On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Kevin Ferrigan (@nbacouchside) to discuss yet another Bulls loss, this time against the Houston Rockets. On the show, Mark and Kevin go over Lauri Markkanen's season long struggles and try to determine if the problem is scheme, mentality, injury, or something else. From there, Mark and Kevin discuss the flawed approach of running an offense through Zach LaVine and Coby White. And, of course, it wouldn't be an episode of BullsHQ without scrutinising coach Jim Boylen's defensive scheme and his truly odd in-game rotations and adjustments. All that and plenty more.
