Are the Bulls Tanking? Matas Responds + Billy Donovan’s Job Status

Are the Bulls Tanking? Matas Responds + Billy Donovan’s Job Status

As February turns into a month filled with losses, the narrative around the Chicago Bulls is shifting — and not in a good way. In today’s episode, Haize and Pat react to Matas Buzelis firmly stating that the Bulls are not tanking, breaking down whether the team’s play supports that claim and what fans should realistically believe at this stage of the season. 🐂📉

The conversation then turns to reporting from KC Johnson regarding Billy Donovan’s future in Chicago. With losses piling up and frustration growing, how secure is Donovan’s position? Haize and Pat examine the front office’s patience, organizational direction, and what a coaching change would signal. 👀💼

Finally, the guys take an honest look at February as a month of losses — what went wrong, what’s fixable, and whether this stretch defines the Bulls’ true ceiling. Is this a temporary slump or confirmation of deeper issues within roster construction and identity? 📊🔥

Tanking debate. Coaching uncertainty. A tough February reality check.
