The Bulls’ Depth Is Their Secret Weapon | How Chicago Became the NBA’s Most Unselfish Team
The Chicago Bulls are off to a 3-0 start — their best in years — and they’re doing it with team basketball, elite defense, and unselfish offense.
Haize breaks down how Billy Donovan’s system has the Bulls thriving without a single dominant scorer. With six players averaging double-figures, balanced shot distribution, and one of the best bench units in basketball, this team looks dangerously complete.
Plus:
🔹 Why Tre Jones, Ayo Dosunmu, and Josh Giddey have been perfect fits
🔹 The Bulls’ defensive rise (6th in rating, 9th in pace)
🔹 What’s still holding them back — turnovers and guarding elite bigs
🔹 Why Coby White will still be the starter when he returns
Could this be the most balanced Bulls team since the early 2010s?

🔴 What’s impressed you most about this 3-0 Bulls start?
The balance? The defense? The chemistry? 👀
For me — it’s the fact that anyone can step up every night. That’s a real team.
Drop your thoughts below ⬇ I’ll be replying to the best comments during tomorrow’s show!
I know that it's very early in the season, but the Bulls right now are looking like the Detroit Pistons when they won an NBA Championship in 2004. IYKYK. The Pistons didn't have any major stars on that team. But everybody locked in & got the job done when it mattered the most.
It's amazing to see the guys are playing together, lot different from early last season. Feels a lot like a college team, kinda like the energy of OKC they're all still so young. Chemistry takes time to build, but most of these guys started their careers together so they're like brothers at this point and wanna play for each other. Season's looking good, we really got something to be excited for
What I see is that players know their role. There isn’t this “will he or won’t he be traded” narrative looming over the team. Vets like Vooch play and lead better with the stability and an understanding of the direction of the team. Josh can relax because he doesn’t have a contract situation hanging over his head. He can lead by letting Billy know by playing Ayo over him, and he looks like he’s relaxed more as he plays.
Why can’t Cony start over Okoro with Giddey and Jones in the starting backcourt. Giddey can still be pg on offense, but guard a bigger wing on defense. If size is the argument, Okoro is no bigger than White.
The scoring distribution reminds me of 2004 Championship Pistons. You don’t know who’s going to kill but it’s going to get done.
Haize, I can admit I'm happy with Billy Donovan's coaching right now. Remember that I told you that I wanted Billy to shut me up & make me stop hating on him so much. This is how you do that. Winning. Winning changes everything. Do I love Billy Donovan as the Bulls Head Coach? Hell naw. But Billy Donovan's earning some more respect from me now.
Its crazy a couple of months ago we had espn pundits and number nerds toought this team was trash and wanted to tank now look at us now were in the same group of teams that are undefeated keep it up guys
Jones was mvp of the game last night in my opinion.
He was on every player's ass yesterday. Specially on Hawks point guard. That boi couldnt do shit with Jones on his back.
Offensively they're reminiscent of the 2004 Pistons and this excites me the most because this type of game could really take down great teams and brings you upset beyond your expectations.
They don’t seem to manage the shot clock at all. 10 second dribbles and poor shot selection as a result, then keep doing it. It puts the other team in control.
I'm tired of the analysts and columnists criticizing the power rankings, which currently have the Bulls in 16th place, despite their strong start. Fuck Yahoo Sports and NBC Sports, Haize. This is a travesty and an insult to us.
Vouch is playing his position much better, both ends.
I think the bulls are looking great and coach Billy Donovan is coaching well now because there’s no Prima Dona stars on this team like they had in years past with Zach Lavine & Demar Derozan. I really hope they keep this up because it’s nice to see a winning team in Chicago.
They’re the Carebulls! Power of Friendship!
Matas,okoro,and Pat played Porzingus in the 4th.
Vuc was guard jaylen johnson. 17:27
Sixers has brighter future and better luck.
This team is a poor man's version of last year's Indiana Pacers.
Shoot out coach Billy and ak. For cussing the course and creating such a young team with quality veterans
I honestly feel like front office & above is finally letting go of control involving Donovan coaching( win now mandate, etc… ) bc he doesn’t look as frustrated or checked out. It’s been a while but I think AKME & up are starting to learn from their mistakes. Hopefully they keep it up 💯
My only issue with Vooch is that he doesn't fit the Bulls timeline. Fortunately because of his skill set he could play for another two to three years….but i want the Bulls to get younger and athletic in the center position. Hopefully Vooch (along with Jalen Smith) is gone after this season and replaced with a younger center who thrive both underneath the basket and the perimeter.
Gotta give it to AKME, they def got a steal w/ Tre Jones contract bc he’s def worth more than $8 Mil 💯
