Bulls Finally Moving In Right Direction + Playoff Seeding Battles You Need To Watch
Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN’s Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon to react to the Bulls firing VP Arturas Karnisovas & GM Marc Eversley including how Chicago could finally be moving in the right direction. Plus, why the matchup between the Hawks & Cavs is so intriguing from a playoff seeding perspective before talking how Denver’s big wins of late could aid them in their quest for a deep playoff run.

Wolves 6th seed!
Keep disrespecting the Pistons…
38:10 I know y'all looking for the Lakers segment. Thank me later
4:13 him saying “no bad contracts” with a straight face while Pat Williams exists there was worth a chuckle
No time stamps 2day 😢😢
28:35 Nuggets vs Blazers
“Knicks could lose all 3 of those games” meanwhile we haven’t lost to the raptors since 2023. Be real. We 1-2 at the least
2:12
Finally you guys are covering denver.
Correction: The Bulls are not going in the right direction. Michael Reinsdorf just implied that the next GM and VP of basketball ops should accept Billy D as the head coach if Billy wants to stay as head coach.
My Bulls are cursed.
Please ESPN and other big media, please humiliate the Reinsdorfs every single week into selling the team. I only have half of my life remaining and we Bulls fans don’t want to be in basketball hell any longer.
There’s no salary cap on GM’s. I don’t get why one of these big market teams don’t go offer Sam Presti like $50 million a year. He’s worth every penny and probably more
Im really surprised dame is never brought for next years blazers team.
10 yr before Dallas is relevant. Trade flagg to
OKC. CHEW ON THAT
Where is Bontemps filming from? The lockeroom at the local bathhouse??
The bulls do have one bad contract. It's Patrick Williams, who's still owed $54M over the next three years with his final year being a player option. This is a guy averaging 6ppg on HORRIFIC shooting splits
Tim, seriously, think before you broach dumb ideas
The Bulls will never be relevant again until the Reinsdorfs sell the team
33:30 Aaron Gordon’s 3s don’t matter. He is a freak super athlete with elite size and probably some of the best hops in the game today. Gordon was giving Wemby problems.
If I were a Boston fan, I'd be very nervous that everyone is just penciling us into the finals. The Pistons have been awesome this year and the Knicks will be a very tough out in a 7 game series.
meh
here
Who cares about the Bulls. They’re a Demonic franchise. People can openly sin and they are celebrated, but if one player stands up for righteousness and proclaims his faith in Jesus Christ then the Bulls release him from the team. Satan runs that team.
Gotta move off Giddey. The Thunder were correct that he is a backup PG in this league and should be paid and used as such.
D Rose the last real chance Chicago has had. Curse of the Bambino, and Curse of Jordan: mistakes of championships past. The Jerry(s) set this current curse in motion. When you have that kind of dynasty you ride it out. But they get the right leadership they have a mostly clean slate
Gotta move off Billy Donovan. Any coach that would leave the best franchise in the league for Chicago makes terrible decisions.
Love Windy, but he looks like he's wearing lip gloss. 😂
The bulls have two above average players. Nothing else. It's going to be a long decade again in Chicago.
Billy, don't be a hero!
Im immature and I thought bontempts said titty garden
Here for the Bulls
THE BULLS SHOULD FIRE BILLY DONOVAN
Bracket breaking thunder way right now. nuggets wolves winner much bigger threat in round 2 then rockets – lakers winner
I saw big move Bulls and fell directly left. Outta my chair.
are we just gonna gloss over the wolves and nuggets possible series?
If im the lakers id go sign cam Thomas to try and help carry the scoring load going into the playoffs otherwise whos the second option marcus smart; ayton post ups? Were cooked
2:14 come again????😂
I guarantee you bon temps been stuffed in a locker before
Leonard Miller and Rob Dillingham are pretty good prospects, the jury's still out on that trade.
People seem to have forgot about Miller: he's a 6'10" forward that runs the floor like a guard, and has an interesting skill set.
He had some hype from playing with the ignite, was an early second round pick, which was a bit of a disappointment, he was seen as too raw.
Two years later, he's put up big numbers in the G League, improved every year, and could have played some minutes in Minnesota if they had some injuries (which they didn't, they were very healthy at his positions).
In Chicago he looks like an NBA rotation player, is still just 22, stats and percentages look great, and he has high talent moments making plays few players can.
3 pointers don't win games 2 do. Yet 1 3-point shot can. OKC pretty much all year gets out shot on 3s and they are the number 1 seed in the entire NBA. Two draw fouls that make them 3s. Why number nerds don't see it is mind boggling. On paper which are number nerds 3 is bigger than 2. Yet 2+1 is 3. They never figure that in.
Rockets will go further in the playoffs then people anticipate
LeBaby was great and the Lakers lost to Dallas. They aren't beating anyone in the playoffs.
timestamps! you're espn!
Reinsdorff is an idiot… Imagine hiring Bob Myers and telling him to keep Billie vs another coach…
hello everybody 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the jazz catching strays vs chicago… ouch… SLC is dope Windy!
Filled the bulls and filled the White Sox, please this is been terrible since Rose left. They don’t know what the hell they doing.
