    Respect to Giddey.
    That contract battle could have gone a lot of ways. First, shout out to the work he put in in the off season. And shout out for putting the contract battle behind him and putting his f**** best on the court.

  4. @Juswaa_

    i hope they stay true to their identity as a team even if the losses , fatigue and frustrations starts to come between the season. Great team basketball man, Go Bulls

  7. @GaryWhite83

    Who we flipping Coby for. We dont need him on YHIS team and he immediately makes our defense worse. Our rotation of guards around Giddey is more than enough.

    We're gonna win too much to get Jayden Quintance in the draft so lets get Scottie Barnes!!!!

    Yes hes a down grade as a shooter but he fits this team like a glove pkay him at 3 or 4.

    White somewhere for a pick or two, those assets flipped to Toronto plus whatever for Barnes

  8. @scottlarock7924

    Glad Noa is starting in GLeague, honestly.
    This style play is not easy. You got to know where to be and nowhere to go.
    The vibe is so high and it would be a shameto have him on the court learning on the fly and bringing down the energy.
    Much better than he gets some run at his level and then come in to help out when injuries hit and or he shows something real to offer.

  9. @jb2o09

    I just want to say this, Ayo is a bucket! In my opinion, when you can average 10ppg off the bench in the NBA, you a bucket getter 💯

  12. @nicpool5728

    I said it with the Knicks. With Tibbs they are a playoff team without Tibbs they are play in or Draft lottery bound. Tibbs is easily one of the most underrated coaches.

  19. @GeraldAbraham-n2f

    Earlier this year it was the exact same team… going 15-5 led by Coby, Giddey, Tre, Red Velvet, and Vuc! Exact same team yall, he'll fit in smoothly, just enjoy the flow for now

  23. @Respawn_Radio1

    Haize, i love you man. But your take here isnt accurate either. Sure, im being hyperbolic. Let me be less so.

    Look, I’m not saying Coby White is selfish or a black hole. I like him. But here’s the reality people don’t want to admit:

    He’s a high-variance scorer.

    His shot volume stays the same every night — even when he doesn’t have it. And that’s the issue. Yeah, he’ll have a couple games where he’s insanely efficient, but then he follows them up with multiple cold nights where he’s taking the exact same number of attempts and hurting the offense.

    So his season average looks “fine,” but it’s misleading because the hot games mask the impact of the cold ones. When Coby is off, he’s still putting up 14–16 shots, and those nights tank team efficiency.

    That’s not a role you give to a stability player — that’s a streak scorer, and a streak scorer can’t be one of your primary offensive engines on a winning team.

    Love the kid, love the improvement — but if we want to build winning basketball in Chicago, we need consistent two-way efficiency, not boom-or-bust offense.

  24. @thomasmoffett3234

    It sounds antithetical, but the next step for this team is to lose. Hear me out: To know a team is for real, the team needs to run into a team where your game plan doesn't work and they work through it and come back from it even better.

  25. @thomasmoffett3234

    Question for the next pod, Haize: With full respect for what Caruso has done and will do with OKC, how much does Giddey have to accomplish before everyone is saying "ALL the Bulls gave up for Giddey is Alex Caruso."

  26. @TerrySilverhand

    I love all the haters who keep telling me "this is a mirage this team is still trash and you wont win a chip" as though thats my expectation and or my standard for being happy with how we are playing.

    I see a very young team playing incredibly well with a bright future for the first time in decades…

  27. @mattnoonan6519

    OKC is 6-0 without JDub. Nobody is saying that his return will screw up their chemistry. Tre getting this starting reps will only benefit the team, and make the 2nd unit even stronger. Coby’s return can only bolster this team. Coby’s return is like adding a supercharger to a powerful V8 engine.

  28. @peternut358

    100% I unsubscribed to Matt Peck the #1 Bulls hater who gave it to Giddey from the day he walked into Chicago and always being negative about our team. Win together and lose together and keep supporting that’s what a true fan does .

  29. @papasmurf8275

    They're doing great! I love this 90's-style ball on both sides. However, they haven't gone up against one the league's premier big men or any of last year's top 6 teams. It'll be interesting how they perform against the bucks, spurs, t-wolves, suns, and OKC.

  30. @opstypingalong6574

    let's see what Coby does but when the team breaks the streak when he's on, that's not going to be a coincidence. if Bulls can go 5-0 without him, that shows how much you gotta pay him. don't overpay and fleece him just like Giddey was fleeced lol.

  35. @toddadamski2927

    With Trey and Ayo playing so well if Coby comes back and the team looks to regress slightly do we look at possibly moving him at the deadline. (Overreaction from the bulls hot start without white)

  36. @gettingtheresoon-l2s

    next 8 includes: NY, 76ers, Bucks, Cavs, Spurs, Pistons, Nuggets. on the road to 4 of top 6 teams in east last year. 76rs and Spurs only ones to not win at least 44 games last year and they are rocking it this year. Might be toughest 2 weeks for any team in 2025. If we go 500 we are a legit power.
