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.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is by NBA YouTuber and podcaster Rusty Buckets (@rustyBUCKETS321) to discuss the latest news and game action surrounding the Chicago Bulls.

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.

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.

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.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) has had enough of this Bulls team, and you likely have too after another set of disappointing losses, this time to the Portland Trailblazers and Golden State Warriors. On the show, Mark shares his thoughts on the failure within these games, Jim Boylen's ridiculous insistence that no changes will be made to any schemes, the coach's odd comments post game, reports of ownership looking at general manager Gar Forman as their scapegoat for this miserable season, and much more.

On a new episode of BullsHQ, host Mark Karantzoulis (@mkhoops) is joined by Morten Jensen (@msjnba) to discuss the Bulls' unlikeliest of wins against the Charlotte Hornets, which involved a historic performance from Zach LaVine.
