EPISODES

Bulls’ 3 BIG Problems! Giddey’s 15 Assists + Should Bulls START Okoro Over Powell?
Josh Giddey delivered 19 points, 15 assists and seven rebounds against Philadelphia. Should the Chicago Bulls give Isaac Okoro another opportunity to start when Norman Powell returns?
On this episode of Chicago Bulls Central, host Haize breaks down Chicago’s rebounding problems, three-point shooting struggles and free-throw opportunities before tackling two major rotation questions: Should Okoro keep starting, and has Noa Essengue earned a bigger role?
🚨 THREE PROBLEMS THE BULLS CANNOT KEEP IGNORING
Through nine games, Chicago is shooting 27.2% from three while attempting 42.1 threes per game. The Bulls are also allowing a league-worst 14.7 offensive rebounds per game and shooting 75.3% at the free-throw line, despite leading the NBA in attempts.
Against Philadelphia, the Sixers won second-chance points 33–12 in a game Chicago lost by six. Haize explains why finishing defensive possessions and creating better perimeter opportunities matter more than another lineup change alone.
Chicago did improve at the foul line against Philadelphia, making 19 of 23. Can the Bulls build on that while fixing the other problems? Pasted text(6) Pasted text(6)
👀 GIDDEY’S 15 ASSISTS: SHOULD OKORO KEEP STARTING?
Okoro scored 12 points on 4-of-5 shooting while replacing Powell, who was unavailable with right shoulder inflammation and soreness. This was an injury replacement, not an announced permanent benching.
Haize examines whether Okoro’s cutting, screening and perimeter responsibilities could help the starting group, while Powell supplies scoring in staggered combinations. One productive game does not prove Powell caused Giddey’s earlier struggles, but it does give Chicago something worth testing. Pasted text(6)
🔥 NOA ESSENGUE MAKES HIS CASE!
10 points. Seven rebounds. Fifteen minutes.
Has Noa earned a consistent stretch of meaningful playing time? Haize discusses his rebounding, developing jumper and potential fit alongside Nic Claxton or Jalen Smith, plus what he needs to demonstrate before his role grows. Pasted text(6)
💬 Bulls Nation: What changes first?
Should Okoro keep starting? Would you support regular 18–20 minutes for Noa? And which problem should Chicago address first: rebounding, three-point shooting or free throws?

TIAGO SPLITTER CALLS BULLS 'SELFISH'! 😡 Is His Offense FAILING?! + 5 Keys vs 76ers
🚨🐂 TIAGO SPLITTER CALLS CHICAGO BULLS SELFISH! IS HIS OFFENSE FAILING?! + 5 KEYS TO BEAT THE 76ERS!
BULLS NATION, TIAGO SPLITTER IS NOT HAPPY, AND HE'S MAKING IT KNOWN! 😤🔥
After the Chicago Bulls were embarrassed 135–105 by the New York Knicks, head coach Tiago Splitter called out Chicago's selfish offensive decisions, poor shot selection and lack of defensive intensity!
Splitter criticized the Bulls for taking quick pull-up jumpers instead of moving the basketball and creating better opportunities.
BUT HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION...
ARE THE BULLS PLAYERS FAILING TIAGO SPLITTER'S OFFENSE, OR IS HIS OFFENSE FAILING THEM?! 😳
Josh Giddey, Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Norman Powell are still trying to find their roles in Chicago's new system, and the Bulls have now lost SIX STRAIGHT GAMES!
Should the players be held accountable for ignoring the game plan?
Or does Tiago Splitter need to simplify his offense and make better adjustments?
AND THAT'S NOT ALL! 🚨
The Chicago Bulls host the Philadelphia 76ers today, Sunday, November 8, in a rematch of Philadelphia's 126–107 victory earlier this week!
The Sixers are coming off a 119–95 loss to Cleveland, with Joel Embiid publicly questioning Philadelphia's half-court offense.
CAN CHICAGO TAKE ADVANTAGE?!
On today's episode of CHICAGO BULLS CENTRAL, host HAIZE breaks down everything Bulls fans need to know!

• Are the Bulls taking too many rushed shots?
• Is Josh Giddey's role hurting the offense?
• Are Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis being used correctly?
• Should veterans face the same accountability as young players?
• Are the players struggling with the system, or is Splitter struggling to coach them?
🏀 SEGMENT 2: FIVE KEYS FOR THE BULLS TO BEAT PHILADELPHIA!
🔥 Stop Tyrese Maxey from attacking in transition!
🔥 Make Joel Embiid work without giving away free throws!
🔥 Get Caleb Wilson involved EARLY!
🔥 Attack Philadelphia when Embiid goes to the bench!
🔥 Create better three-point shots and shoot with confidence!
Chicago is shooting just 27.2% from three through eight games, and that HAS TO CHANGE!
👀 BULLS INJURY UPDATE!
Nic Claxton remains questionable for his potential Bulls debut!
Jalen Smith is probable with his finger injury.
Zach Collins and Dailyn Swain have been ruled out.
Philadelphia lists Joel Embiid as probable, while Adem Bona and Dominick Barlow are out.

Haize also responds to listener questions about:
• Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey's early struggles
• Whether Bulls fans are overreacting to the rebuild
• Chicago's player development and G League approach

💬 BULLS NATION, LET'S DEBATE!

BULLS DEFENSE IS HISTORICALLY BAD! 🚨 Josh Giddey BENCHED Next?! + Dailyn Swain G League!
🚨🐂 CHICAGO BULLS DEFENSE IS HISTORICALLY BAD! JOSH GIDDEY BENCHED NEXT?! DAILYN SWAIN TO THE G LEAGUE!
BULLS NATION, WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS TO DISCUSS! 😤🔥
The Chicago Bulls are 1-7, have lost SIX STRAIGHT GAMES, and are allowing an unbelievable 129.6 POINTS PER GAME!
Chicago has the NBA's worst scoring defense, ranks near the bottom in defensive rating, and continues giving opponents easy points through turnovers, transition opportunities and second-chance possessions!
Is Tiago Splitter's defensive system failing? Can Nic Claxton's eventual return make a difference? Or does the roster simply lack the defensive talent to compete?
On today's Chicago Bulls Central, host Haize breaks down THREE major storylines!
🚨 THE BULLS ARE FLIRTING WITH HISTORICALLY BAD DEFENSE!
Chicago is allowing 129.6 points per game with a 123.5 defensive rating through eight games!
We examine how the Bulls compare with the infamous 1990-91 Denver Nuggets, why turnovers and poor transition defense are making things worse, and FIVE adjustments Tiago Splitter can make with the current roster!
😳 WHAT HAPPENED TO JOSH GIDDEY?! TRE JONES DESERVES MORE MINUTES?!
Josh Giddey is averaging just 9.3 points on 38.9% shooting, while Tre Jones is averaging 10.9 points in significantly fewer minutes!
Is it time for Chicago to rethink the point guard rotation? Should Tre play more minutes alongside Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis? And how much is Giddey's left wrist affecting his performance?
👀 DAILYN SWAIN TO THE G LEAGUE!
Chicago's No. 15 pick has been assigned to the Windy City Bulls!
After a difficult Summer League and limited NBA opportunities, can more playing time help Swain improve his ballhandling, shooting decisions and perimeter defense?
Should Chicago give him more responsibility in the G League or find minutes for him on the NBA roster?
💬 BULLS NATION, LET'S DEBATE!
1. What's the BIGGEST reason Chicago's defense has been so bad?
2. Should Tre Jones get more minutes than Josh Giddey?
3. Is sending Dailyn Swain to Windy City the RIGHT developmental decision?

CALEB WILSON BENCHED?! 😳 Warriors CALL About Jalen Smith + Did Bulls Hire WRONG COACH?!
🚨🐂 CALEB WILSON BENCHED?! WARRIORS CALL ABOUT JALEN SMITH + DID THE CHICAGO BULLS HIRE THE WRONG COACH?!
BULLS NATION, WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO ANSWER! 😤🔥
The Chicago Bulls have lost SIX STRAIGHT games after getting embarrassed 135-105 by the New York Knicks!
Caleb Wilson struggled through his worst offensive performance of the season, and Tiago Splitter BENCHED the rookie for the remainder of the game!
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors have reportedly contacted Chicago about a potential Jalen Smith trade. And with several other new NBA coaches finding early success, is it fair to question whether the Bulls made the right coaching hire?
On today's Chicago Bulls Central, host Haize breaks down THREE major storylines!
😳 CALEB WILSON BENCHED! DID SPLITTER GO TOO FAR?!
Caleb finished with just FIVE POINTS on 2-for-12 shooting against New York. Splitter questioned his offensive execution, defense and body language!
Was benching Caleb the right way to teach accountability? Or should the Bulls have allowed their rookie to play through adversity?
🚨 WARRIORS CALL ABOUT JALEN SMITH!
New reporting from Jake Fischer indicates Golden State has contacted Chicago about Jalen Smith!
Could Smith help Stephen Curry and the Warriors? Would a deal involving Kristaps Porzingis make sense? And what should Bryson Graham demand in return?
🔥 DID THE BULLS HIRE THE WRONG COACH?!
Micah Nori is 6-1 with Portland while Tiago Splitter and the Chicago Bulls are 1-7!
We compare Splitter with Nori, Dusty May, Jamahl Mosley, Sean Sweeney and Taylor Jenkins, looking at player development, rotations, accountability and the challenges each coach inherited.
💬 BULLS NATION, LET'S DEBATE!
1. Was Tiago Splitter RIGHT to bench Caleb Wilson?
2. What should the Bulls demand for Jalen Smith?
3. Did Chicago hire the wrong head coach?

🔥 BULLS vs KNICKS: FIVE KEYS TO VICTORY!
After Chicago blew a 19-point lead and lost 133–127 to New York, the Bulls get another opportunity at Madison Square Garden!

BULLS NATION, WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT OUR YOUNG CORE! 🚨🏀
After another frustrating Chicago Bulls loss, Matas Buzelis is promising fans he'll overcome his early-season struggles!
But after finishing with just FOUR POINTS and FIVE TURNOVERS against Philadelphia, is it time for Tiago Splitter to make a change?
Meanwhile, Caleb Wilson is looking more and more dangerous, and Noa Essengue is making Chicago's developmental decisions much tougher!
On today's Chicago Bulls Central, host Haize breaks down three major storylines!
😤 MATAS BUZELIS PROMISES TO FIGURE IT OUT!
Matas says his hard work will eventually pay off! But what needs to change? Should the Bulls adjust his role, give him more designed touches, or consider changing the starting lineup?
🔥 CALEB WILSON'S JUMPER COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING!
After hitting SIX threes against Boston and FOUR more against Philadelphia, Caleb Wilson is showing incredible offensive growth!
Could consistent outside shooting make him nearly impossible to defend? And how much could it help Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey?
👀 NOA ESSENGUE TO THE G LEAGUE?!
Noa is coming off encouraging games against Boston and Philadelphia!
Has he earned consistent NBA rotation minutes? Or would playing 30 minutes a night with the Windy City Bulls be better for his development?
💬 BULLS NATION, LET'S DEBATE!

BULLS NATION, WE HAVE SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS TO ANSWER! 🚨🏀

Should the Bulls capitalize on his potential trade value, or keep him alongside Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey?
What happens when Nic Claxton returns? And should the Los Angeles Lakers' reported interest in frontcourt help factor into Chicago's plans?
🎲 THE NBA DRAFT LOTTERY HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING!
The new 2027 NBA Draft Lottery system changes the incentives around tanking!
The three worst teams will receive only a 5.4% chance at the No. 1 overall pick, while the next seven teams that miss the play-in receive 8.1%.
Could losing too many games actually work against the Chicago Bulls? Should Chicago prioritize developing its young core instead of chasing the worst record?
💬 BULLS NATION, WE WANT YOUR TAKES!
1. Is Caleb Wilson a legitimate Rookie of the Year candidate?
2. Would you trade Jalen Smith or keep him?
3. Do the new NBA lottery rules change your approach to rebuilding?

BULLS COLLAPSE IN 4TH! 😡 Knicks EXPLODE for 43 Points | 133-127 LIVE POSTGAME
🐂😡 **CHICAGO BULLS COLLAPSE AGAIN! NEW YORK KNICKS WIN 133-127 AFTER A DISASTROUS FOURTH QUARTER!**

**BULLS NATION, WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT!** 🚨🔥

The Chicago Bulls just suffered another frustrating loss, falling **133-127 to the defending NBA champion New York Knicks** at the United Center!

HOW DOES CHICAGO SCORE 127 POINTS AND STILL LOSE?!

Join **Haize and the Chicago Bulls Central community LIVE** as we break down the Bulls' loss, the defensive breakdowns, Tiago Splitter's coaching decisions, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis' development, and everything that went wrong against Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and New York!

Chicago falls to **1-4** on the season, and serious questions remain about this team's ability to execute consistently.

🔥 **BULLS vs KNICKS LIVE POSTGAME STORYLINES:**

Chicago held a six-point advantage entering the final quarter before allowing New York to score 43 points!

What happened to the Bulls' defensive communication?

Caleb Wilson entered the matchup as Chicago's leading scorer through four games.

We break down his scoring aggression, defensive activity, rebounding, decision-making and overall impact against New York!

MATAS BUZELIS Opens Up On Struggles &: BULLS OFFENSE IS "FREESTYLE"?! Powell's WARNING + Knicks Preview
🐂🔥 MATAS BUZELIS GETS REAL ABOUT THE CHICAGO BULLS OFFENSE! NORMAN POWELL SENDS A WARNING!
BULLS NATION, WE NEED TO TALK! 🚨
Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis is opening up about his difficult start to the 2026-27 NBA season, his offensive role, and the challenges of finding opportunities alongside Caleb Wilson, Norman Powell and Josh Giddey!
After struggling through the opening games, Buzelis acknowledged that Chicago's offense has been operating almost like "freestyle" basketball as the players try to understand their roles!
But is the problem Matas' confidence and aggression, or is Tiago Splitter failing to provide enough offensive structure?
And that's not the only major storyline!
Norman Powell says the Bulls need to fix their effort and attention to detail immediately, while the New York Knicks prepare to visit Chicago fresh off a 111-97 victory over Detroit!
🎙️ Join Haize on Chicago Bulls Central as we break down the latest Bulls news, Matas Buzelis' comments, Norman Powell's message, Caleb Wilson's development, and five keys to beating Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks!
🔥 TODAY'S CHICAGO BULLS PODCAST TOPICS:
🌟 1. MATAS BUZELIS OPENS UP ABOUT HIS ROUGH START!
Matas struggled against Toronto and Milwaukee before bouncing back with 21 points against Washington.
After managing just 11 points on six field-goal attempts against Boston, questions remain about his offensive involvement.
Buzelis recently discussed the challenges of sharing opportunities with Caleb Wilson and Norman Powell while Chicago learns Tiago Splitter's offense.
Are the Bulls giving Matas enough opportunities to succeed?
Does he need more designed plays, movement and spacing?
Or does Buzelis simply need to become more aggressive and take control of his own development?
We also discuss his fourth-quarter benching against Milwaukee and his mature response to Leonard Miller earning playing time.
😤 2. NORMAN POWELL'S WARNING TO THE BULLS!
Powell understands that a young Chicago team needs time to establish its offensive identity.
But the veteran scorer is demanding immediate improvement in effort, defensive communication, rebounding and physicality!
After Chicago was blown out 134-99 by Boston, the Bulls have some serious questions to answer about their competitiveness.
Should fans give this rebuilding roster patience?
Or is Chicago already showing problems that cannot be excused by youth?
We discuss accountability for Josh Giddey, Matas Buzelis, Caleb Wilson, the veterans and head coach Tiago Splitter!
🗽 3. FIVE KEYS TO BEATING THE NEW YORK KNICKS TONIGHT!
The Chicago Bulls return to the United Center to face the defending NBA champion New York Knicks!
New York is coming off a 111-97 victory over Detroit, led by Karl-Anthony Towns' 27 points and 20 rebounds and Jalen Brunson's 23 points and seven assists!
With Nic Claxton sidelined, can Chicago defend New York's dangerous pick-and-roll attack and control the defensive glass?
🏀 OUR FIVE KEYS TO VICTORY:
🔒 Make Jalen Brunson work for every advantage!
💪 Keep Karl-Anthony Towns and the Knicks off the offensive glass!
⚡ Use Josh Giddey to push the pace against a team playing on consecutive nights!
🌟 Get Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis involved in purposeful offensive actions!
🚨 Avoid another disastrous third quarter and respond immediately to New York's adjustments!

CALEB WILSON IS A TWO-WAY STAR IN THE MAKING?! + TIAGO SPLITTER FIXING LEONARD MILLER'S JUMPER?
🐂🔥 CALEB WILSON HELD JAYSON TATUM TO 1-FOR-5?! THE CHICAGO BULLS HAVE A SERIOUS SHOOTING PROBLEM!
BULLS NATION, WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT! 🚨
The Chicago Bulls just suffered an embarrassing 134-99 loss to the Boston Celtics, falling to 1-3 on the 2026-27 NBA season!
But while the final score was ugly, Caleb Wilson showed encouraging signs on BOTH ends of the floor against Jayson Tatum and the Celtics!
The rookie finished with 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal. According to a published defensive matchup breakdown, Tatum shot just 1-for-5 on possessions defended by Wilson!
Could Chicago's rookie be developing into a legitimate TWO-WAY cornerstone?
Meanwhile, Tiago Splitter and the Bulls coaching staff are working to improve Leonard Miller's shooting mechanics, and Chicago's team-wide three-point shooting struggles have reached an alarming level!
🎙️ Join Haize on Chicago Bulls Central as we break down the latest Chicago Bulls news, Caleb Wilson's defensive potential, Leonard Miller's development, and the shooting crisis threatening Chicago's young core!
🔥 TODAY'S CHICAGO BULLS PODCAST TOPICS:
🌟 1. CALEB WILSON vs JAYSON TATUM! ARE WE UNDERRATING HIS DEFENSIVE CEILING?!
Caleb Wilson is already attracting attention for his scoring, athleticism and offensive potential. But his performance against Jayson Tatum revealed another encouraging part of his development!
After scoring 30 points and grabbing 14 rebounds against Washington, Wilson followed up with 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and two blocks against Boston.
How good can Caleb Wilson become defensively? Could he eventually handle some of the NBA's toughest wing assignments?
And what would that mean for his partnership with Matas Buzelis?
🎯 2. THE BULLS ARE WORKING ON LEONARD MILLER'S JUMPER!
Chicago's coaching staff is working to smooth out a hitch in Leonard Miller's shooting motion!
After contributing nine points and nine rebounds in approximately 14 minutes against Boston, Miller is continuing to make his case for a larger role.
Could an improved three-point shot turn Leonard Miller into an important long-term piece alongside Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey?
How much time should Tiago Splitter give Miller to develop his mechanics while competing for rotation minutes?
🚨 3. THE BULLS HAVE A THREE-POINT SHOOTING CRISIS!
Chicago is shooting an astonishing 23.8% from three-point range through four games!
The Bulls have made just 40 of 168 three-point attempts, averaging 42 attempts per game!
Against Boston, Chicago went 12-for-44 from three while the Celtics buried 21 triples in a 134-99 blowout.
Is poor floor spacing making Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis' development MORE DIFFICULT?
How can Josh Giddey create clean scoring opportunities when defenders are packing the paint?
And should Splitter make changes to Chicago's offensive system, shot selection and lineup combinations?
🏀 THE BIG QUESTIONS:
🔥 Is Caleb Wilson becoming a legitimate two-way cornerstone?
🔒 Can he consistently defend elite NBA wings?
🎯 Could Leonard Miller's improved jumper change the Bulls rotation?
👀 Should Miller receive more playing time?
🚨 How bad is Chicago's 23.8% three-point shooting?
🧠 Is poor spacing hurting Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey?
📋 What adjustments must Tiago Splitter make?
🐂 Can the Bulls turn individual development into winning basketball?
💬 BULLS NATION, LET'S TALK!
Are you more excited about Caleb Wilson's scoring or his defensive potential?
Do you believe Leonard Miller can become a reliable three-point shooter?
And what's the BIGGEST change Chicago needs to make to fix this offense?

BRYSON GRAHAM: BULLS ARE AT "STEP ONE"?! 5 KEYS to BEAT the Celtics!
🐂🔥 BRYSON GRAHAM SAYS THE CHICAGO BULLS ARE AT "STEP ONE"! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE FUTURE?!
BULLS NATION, WE HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT!
Chicago Bulls executive vice president Bryson Graham recently discussed the franchise's development timeline, his relationship with head coach Tiago Splitter, and what it will take to build a sustainable winner in Chicago.
But with the Bulls sitting at 1-2 and preparing to face Jayson Tatum, Paul George and the Boston Celtics, fans have every right to ask one major question:
HOW LONG SHOULD THIS REBUILD TAKE, AND WHAT SHOULD PROGRESS ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE?!
Join Haize on Chicago Bulls Central as we break down Bryson Graham's comments, Caleb Wilson's emergence, Chicago's surprising free-throw production, and FIVE KEYS to beating the Boston Celtics tonight!
🔥 TODAY'S CHICAGO BULLS PODCAST TOPICS:
🚨 1. BRYSON GRAHAM SAYS THE BULLS ARE AT STEP ONE!
Graham says Chicago is still in the early stages of building its new identity under Tiago Splitter.
But what should Bulls fans demand from this rebuilding process?
We discuss player development, accountability, roster construction, coaching adjustments, and how Chicago should measure progress from Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis, Josh Giddey, Leonard Miller and the rest of its young core.
Is this franchise finally building something sustainable, or have Bulls fans heard these promises before?
🔥 2. THE BULLS HAVE A HIDDEN OFFENSIVE WEAPON!
While Chicago's three-point shooting has struggled, the Bulls have been outstanding at the free-throw line!
Chicago went 28-for-30 against Milwaukee and 28-for-30 against Washington, making 56 of 60 free throws across two games!
That's an incredible 93.3%!
Could Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Norman Powell turn aggressive drives, paint pressure and foul drawing into Chicago's offensive identity?
And can Tiago Splitter use that strength to generate better three-point opportunities?
☘️ 3. FIVE KEYS TO BEATING THE BOSTON CELTICS TONIGHT!
The Chicago Bulls travel to TD Garden to face a Boston Celtics team featuring Jayson Tatum, Paul George, Derrick White and a talented supporting cast!
With Nic Claxton sidelined, Chicago faces major challenges defensively and on the glass.
🏀 OUR FIVE KEYS TO VICTORY:
1. Make Jayson Tatum and Paul George work without leaving shooters open.
2. Control the defensive glass and limit Boston's second-chance opportunities.
3. Let Josh Giddey push the pace with Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis.
4. Create better three-point shots through paint pressure and ball movement.
5. Avoid another disastrous third quarter!
GAME INFORMATION
🐂 Chicago Bulls vs Boston Celtics
📅 Monday, October 26, 2026
📍 TD Garden, Boston
⏰ 6:30 PM Central / 7:30 PM Eastern
💬 BULLS NATION, LET'S TALK!
Are you confident Bryson Graham has the right long-term vision?
Should the Bulls lean into attacking the basket rather than relying on outside shooting?
And can Chicago shock the Celtics tonight?

CALEB WILSON DROPS 30 & 14! Is He the Bulls' #1 Option? | Splitter's TOUGH LOVE
CALEB WILSON JUST DROPPED 30 POINTS AND 14 REBOUNDS! IS HE ALREADY THE CHICAGO BULLS' NUMBER ONE SCORING OPTION?!
BULLS NATION, THE FUTURE IS GETTING INTERESTING! 👀
After Caleb Wilson's MONSTER performance against the Washington Wizards, the Chicago Bulls have some serious decisions to make about their offense, their young core, and the direction of this team!
But Caleb isn't the only big storyline!
Tiago Splitter's tough-love coaching approach is creating debate, and the Bulls are shooting a disastrous 22.6% from three-point range through their first three games!
Join Haize on Chicago Bulls Central as we break down the latest Chicago Bulls news, Caleb Wilson's development, Matas Buzelis' role, Josh Giddey's offensive fit, and the biggest adjustments Chicago needs before facing the Boston Celtics!
🔥 TODAY'S CHICAGO BULLS PODCAST TOPICS:
🌟 1. CALEB WILSON IS BECOMING A STAR! IS HE ALREADY CHICAGO'S NUMBER ONE OPTION?
The Bulls rookie exploded for 30 points, 14 rebounds, three assists, two steals and ZERO turnovers against the Washington Wizards!
After struggling with nine turnovers in his NBA debut, Wilson has rapidly improved his decision-making and offensive impact.
But is Chicago ready to make the 2026 No. 4 overall pick its primary scoring option?
Should Tiago Splitter build more of the offense around Caleb? And what would that mean for Norman Powell, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey?
👀 2. TIAGO SPLITTER'S TOUGH LOVE! ACCOUNTABILITY OR TOO SHORT A LEASH?
Splitter has shown he's willing to bench young players when they aren't executing!
Matas Buzelis saw reduced minutes against Milwaukee and was briefly removed during the Wizards game over defensive mistakes before returning to help Chicago's fourth-quarter rally.
Is this exactly the accountability the Bulls need? Or could Splitter's approach hurt the confidence and development of Chicago's young core?
We're discussing coaching, player development, defensive accountability and whether Splitter is striking the right balance!
🚨 3. THE BULLS HAVE A THREE-POINT SHOOTING PROBLEM!
Chicago went just 12-for-43 from three-point range against Washington!
Through three games, the Bulls have made only 28 of 124 three-point attempts. That's just 22.6%!
Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis have been far more effective attacking inside than shooting from deep.
Should Chicago continue encouraging the same three-point volume? Or does the offense need major adjustments in shot selection, floor spacing and off-ball movement?
And how can the Bulls maximize the shooting of Norman Powell and Buddy Hield while helping Josh Giddey remain effective?
🏀 THE BIG QUESTIONS:
🔥 Is Caleb Wilson already Chicago's best scoring option?
🌟 Can Matas Buzelis and Caleb become a dangerous scoring duo?
👀 Is Tiago Splitter's tough-love approach helping young players develop?
🚨 Are the Bulls giving young players enough freedom to make mistakes?
🎯 Why is Chicago shooting only 22.6% from three?
🧠 How can Josh Giddey improve the team's spacing and offensive execution?
💪 What adjustments must the Bulls make before facing the Boston Celtics?
💬 BULLS NATION, WE WANT YOUR TAKES!
Should Caleb Wilson become the Bulls' number one scoring option RIGHT NOW?
Is Tiago Splitter coaching this young roster the right way?
And what's the FIRST offensive change Chicago needs to make?

CALEB WILSON RESPONDS! Bulls Young Core FORCES Rotation Shakeup + AD & Trae NEXT
🐂🔥 CALEB WILSON IS GROWING UP FAST, AND THE CHICAGO BULLS YOUNG CORE IS MAKING SOME NOISE!
After the Chicago Bulls' thrilling 132-125 comeback victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, rookie Caleb Wilson is already showing why his development could change the future of this franchise!
But Wilson isn't the only young Bull turning heads. Leonard Miller and Noa Essengue are pushing for bigger opportunities, and head coach Tiago Splitter suddenly has some difficult rotation decisions to make!
🎙️ Join Haize on Chicago Bulls Central as we break down the biggest Chicago Bulls news, young core developments, roster decisions, and the upcoming Bulls vs Washington Wizards matchup featuring Anthony Davis and Trae Young!
🔥 TODAY'S CHICAGO BULLS TOPICS:
🌟 1. CALEB WILSON'S IMPRESSIVE BOUNCE-BACK!
After committing nine turnovers and shooting 7-of-21 in his NBA debut against Toronto, Caleb Wilson responded with 21 points on 7-of-14 shooting and only three turnovers against Milwaukee!
Is Chicago already seeing signs of Wilson's growth as a decision-maker? And how can Tiago Splitter continue building his confidence without placing too much pressure on the rookie?
👀 2. LEONARD MILLER & NOA ESSENGUE ARE FORCING THE ISSUE!
Leonard Miller exploded for 19 points on efficient shooting while Noa Essengue provided game-changing defensive activity with three steals and a block!
Chicago's bench outscored Milwaukee's 59-35, raising serious questions about who deserves minutes moving forward.
Have Miller and Essengue earned permanent spots in the Bulls rotation? Could their emergence change the roles of other young players?
🚨 3. ANTHONY DAVIS & TRAE YOUNG ARE NEXT!
The Chicago Bulls return home to face the Washington Wizards on Saturday!
Anthony Davis opened the season with 34 points and 12 rebounds, while Trae Young added 20 points and 13 assists against Milwaukee.
With Nic Claxton sidelined, how can Chicago contain Washington's dangerous pick-and-roll combination if Davis and Young both suit up?
Will Caleb Wilson rise to the challenge? Can Jalen Smith handle Washington's size? And will Splitter's young bench continue making an impact?
🏀 THE BIG QUESTIONS:
🔥 Has Caleb Wilson already shown meaningful growth?
🔥 Is Leonard Miller becoming impossible to ignore?
🔥 Should Noa Essengue receive more consistent NBA minutes?
🔥 Which Bulls lineups give Chicago its best chance to win?
🔥 Can the Bulls slow down Anthony Davis and Trae Young?
🔥 Will Chicago build on its first win of the season?

Is Matas Buzelis’ LEAP Already In Question?! + Splitter’s TWO-BIG Experiment & Bucks Test
Is Matas Buzelis’ third-year leap already in question after ONE game? Not so fast — but Chicago absolutely needs to see more.
On today’s Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down what Matas’ opening-night performance actually tells us, why Tiago Splitter is considering two-big combinations, and the five biggest things Chicago must prepare for against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Matas finished against Toronto with 17 points, six rebounds and two blocks in 25 minutes, but shot just 2-for-8 from the field and 0-for-4 from three. The fascinating part? He still got to the free-throw line 16 times, making 13.
So is his third-year leap already in trouble?
No.
But the standard has changed.
Chicago needs Matas to become more dependable when the first action breaks down, attack closeouts without losing control, recognize help earlier, stay active defensively when his jumper isn’t falling and produce against teams prepared to take away his favorite opportunities.
Then there’s Tiago Splitter’s latest wrinkle.
Splitter has discussed testing two-big combinations, and with Zach Collins back, Chicago can now evaluate pairings like Jalen Smith + Collins. Collins returned against Toronto with five rebounds in nine minutes while reportedly operating under a 12-to-16-minute restriction.
The key question isn’t simply:
“Does more size sound good?”
It’s whether the lineup actually improves specific possessions.
Can two bigs:
- Finish defensive rebounds?
- Give Chicago another interior defender?
- Create better screens?
- Generate elbow passing opportunities?
- Survive defensively when opponents drag a big away from the rim?
Haize also lays out a potential experimental lineup:
Tre Jones
Norman Powell
Matas Buzelis
Jalen Smith
Zach Collins
with Smith spacing the floor while Collins facilitates from the elbow.
And then comes Milwaukee.
The Bucks present a completely different tactical challenge.
🔥 Tyler Herro opened with 24 points and nine assists
💪 Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 22 points and seven rebounds
🎯 Myles Turner can pull Chicago’s centers away from the rim
✈️ Kel’el Ware gives Milwaukee a different rolling threat
🚨 Milwaukee will almost certainly test Chicago’s ball security after the Bulls’ disastrous opener
Chicago also has something to attack.
Washington scored 70 points in the paint and attempted 41 free throws against Milwaukee, giving the Bulls a potential blueprint to investigate — not a guarantee they can duplicate it.
