Biggest Questions Facing The Chicago Bulls Post All Star Break

You found yourself on another episode of Locked on bulls in today’s episode me and Pat are going to talk about our biggest question surrounding the Chicago Bulls coming out of the All-Star break we’re also going to talk about the bulls making history over the allar break without having a single representative

At any of events we’re going to talk about all that plus Doug Collins a finalist to make the Hall of Fame all that and more on today’s locked on bulls you are locked on bulls your daily podcast on the Chicago Bulls part of the locked on podcast Network your team every day Thank you for tuning in locked on bulls member of the locked on podcast Network where it’s your team every single day that’s Pat the designer host and creator of the windy city Breeze and host of the Chicago Bears podcast over at ESPN 1000 I’m Hayes host cre of Chicago Bulls and

Chicago Bear Central YouTube pages and podcast and today’s episode is brought to you by nobody just us with that said let’s go ahead and get into the first topic for today we prepared for this show I swear we do absolutely uh well hey so Pat we are in the currently in

The All-Star break the Bulls don’t play again till Thursday um so naturally leaves us in a place to be able to reflect on the team things like that I want to throw it over to you what are some of the biggest questions you have surrounding the Chicago Bulls heading

Into the the rest of the season who’s the young bull that takes the next step who’s the young bull that hits the wall uh we got a lot of young players on this team um dalen Terry has played more minutes but still still spaced out right Julian Phillips has played more minutes

But still spaced out but now we’re at a different point in the season are they going to be able to keep up even the small level of play when you play a different amount of games your preparation doesn’t change you’re still getting yourself ready to go in games

Maybe you’re not playing as long but there’s still that possibility for for you to hit that rookie wall who’s going to take that next step iuma was really shown out over the last what 15 or so games um he’s looked a lot better he’s looked a lot more confident on the

Offensive and defensive end seems like the Bulls have something special in here is there one more step excuse me that you can see him taking into becoming possibly a a a legitimate starter heading into next season where you feel like nah he’s figured out what his role

Is in the NBA I mean the you guys know how I feel at this point right like I I don’t I don’t think we’re going to get this drastically different Bulls team I don’t think that we’re going to have another month where we win at a 60% win

Percentage and all of a sudden we’re talking about this Bulls team at the six seed unless somebody steps up some one of these young guys takes that next step um I think those are two of my biggest questions because Kobe White’s here and he’s just looking for help right now

Yeah I mean well here’s the thing I’m not really worried about any of the young players hitting the wall per se just because we just haven’t seen it I agree with you like can IO continue to develop that’s a big question and is he’s going to have more opportunity of

Course with Zack LaVine now we know that he’s out the rest of the season and AC’s Bound To Miss A couple of games here and there as well where he’s gonna get an opportunity to step up div but the question that I want to actually throw

To you in this one is is I know we’re trained to think rookie Ralls and things like that Kobe white is leading the NBA in minutes right now right now he’s playing almost five more than the most minutes that he played and that was only a 54 game shorten season um in 2021-22

His second year in the league do we think with the minutes that Kobe White’s been playing and the new workload that he carries now for the Chicago Bulls offensively that we could see maybe him hit it a version of that wall at some point this season or do you think this

Allar breaker is going to be good enough to kind of get him ready to rear up for got 27 games left on the season you think we can avoid any kind of you know slump or anything from Kobe the next 27 I think what’s hilarious is we might

Have already seen it right like Billy Donovan’s been uh Billy Tibido out here hasn’t he like be 100% honest dear I believe was leading the NBA in in minutes overall and and Kobe white is right in there with him right like but see um I I think we already saw it right

Remember that stretch we went through in I want to say January where he just kind of like the three ball just was it kind of end of December going into January the three ball just wasn’t falling I think at one point he was like four for

67 or something like that for a little while there it was it was a crazy number right but I think that was the wall that he kind of ended up hitting where the where you looked at it and you were like uh like that was the part where I was

Nervous I was like okay teams are adjusting to him teams have changed what they’re doing which usually contributes to the rookie wall as well and now um you know he’s he’s kind of got to figure out how he’s going to make plays off of teams playing up on him him playing more

Minutes him being more aggressive more time more nights night in and night out out now I think that he’s on the other side of that I think he’ll be fine you got this break in here nice little break up for him and I think Kobe white is out

To prove something here as well I think that he he’s he’s going into the next season realizing that he has an opportunity to to be the number one on this team to be the face of the Chicago Bulls moving forward a team that drafted him a team that resigned him right like

That’s not something he’s going to take lightly I’m sure there’s some North Carolina Michael Jordan will power type thing in there as well where he’s like n like if I’m good like they’re gonna love me forever here so I think Kobe white has a rare opportunity and I don’t think

That we’re going to see him fall off really now just for context who do you think the number one and number two players are in the NBA as far as minutes per game uh I would say I would say dear’s probably won right dear’s played a lot dear’s number

One dear’s number one um trying to think somebody who’s played every Shay Shay up there Shay’s not even in the top 10 huh um so Kobe white is actually number two and surprisingly enough Kobe’s number two Co Kobe’s played two more games than demard Rosen and they have the exact same number of

Minutes at 1,996 minutes played this season who do you how close do you think the number three player is to Kobe and demard de Rosen probably a 100 minutes apart like no so Scotty Barnes is number three with with 60 less 61 less minutes than both so

Basically Kobe and dear have played over a game more than any other player in the NBA so yeah that rest that we’re talking about is legitimate um by the way SC bar ain’t beating them allegations bro did you see bro oh my God them allegations are

Not hey dog he he it’s not at all them allegations ain’t going nowhere another question I I would to throw you on this one and maybe we can flesh this out as a more topic guys let us know if you’re watching or if you’re listening if you

Want to hear a more fleshed out topic on this but the Twin Towers lineup I think everybody kind of has this mindset that it it it’s working more than it is yeah out of the five games they’ve played heavy minutes with that this season they’ve only had one game in which

They’ve had either A positive plus minus or a positive overall net rating and that was the game against Memphis where they were positive 51 as far as net rating every other game they’ve had a negative net rating in two of those games they’ve had a negative n rating of

Negative 60 and Nega 55 overall while the eye test it looks great because they’re getting rebounds things like that they are getting more opportunities it hasn’t necessarily turned into this thing where it’s it’s changing the tide of games where the Bulls are are are beating their

Opponent in the minutes that vo and drum are out there on the court together so Pat the last question in this topic that I’m going to throw to you do you think in hearing those numbers and like I said we can flesh it more out in in its own

Topic maybe another episode do you think that that’s as simple as a tweak is getting more scores out there the other players hitting their shots more to kind of spread it out because like I said we’re generating almost four more possessions with them out there so the possessions are there when you hear

Those numbers what what do you think about that twin tower lineup I think the Twin Tower lineup is something that you can use sporadically I’ve said this multiple times is there’s a reason that you can throw it out there you can’t throw it out there all the time because

Andre Drummond’s gonna have what the last game right like Andre dummond had four fouls in like the second quarter we what’s happening right now but they is something that it I’m not going to say it doesn’t work what I’m going to say is one drum has to be smarter with how he

Plays in that lineup he can’t get Ticky Tac fouls because you know they’re going to give you the Stupid Files when you’re down low playing somebody and two guys got to knock down their shots again this is a if if I’m creating four more possessions but we’re not scoring on

Four more possessions that means that we’re in we we’re getting those possessions for nothing basically um I do think that the Twin Towers lineup can work especially when you play the a team like Cleveland that’s the most competitive we’ve been against Cleveland in what seven games like we haven’t had

A really like competitive effort on the boards vers Cleveland in a while because of their big lineup that they have and on you just got to be able to knock down shots at the end of the day you can’t have 17-point quarters you can’t have times where the ball the offense just

Stops if that’s a main lineup that you’re going with I think it’s a lineup that works but again like I I think I talked about this on Friday’s episode you got to have the players out there that change up the the equation and and we don’t have the players on this team

Right now at least to what everybody has been that change up that equation yeah and I mean it’s like I said something to be said about getting more possessions but if you’re not doing much with those possessions and able to score on the other side of the ball what are those

Possessions really netting you other than more uh and the pace is slower as well when that happens now that’s to be expected you got two two true bigs out your pace is gonna slow down with drum and vot trying to Lug it up the floor

Yeah yeah so you I just wanted to throw that out there as far as to kind of flesh out that conversation but next up we’re going to be discussing the bulls making All-Star history without having a single player representing the Bulls at the traditional events in all-star

Weekend we did have one show up at an event but I don’t think anybody watched that event it wasn’t even televised so we’ll be talking about that here in a second before we talk to about that I got to talk to you guys about one of responses and that is grammarly no

What it is we’re in our our era of of struggle right now and pain hopefully the the the benefit comes out on the other side of that at some point in this time this is the first time in 44 years Pat that the Chicago Bulls have not had a representative in either the

Three-point slam dunk skills competition or allstar game itself how you feeling about that Pat I think Kobe could have made it but the the the the issue is that we’re going years without having somebody representing in the allar right like the other stuff cool right like BJ Armstrong

Shot three-point contact oh that was cute yeah I mean like uh um who who’ we have we had uh Zack LaVine did the Three-Point Contest a couple of times oh that’s fun right he’s not doing the dunk contest anymore which we’re begging anybody that can actually dunk to do the

Dunk contest again um shout out MC mug I guess but like it it’s it’s more concerning to me that you don’t have players that are at least that at least feel like they should be snubs for Allstar games like remember the couple Seasons where it was like yes

The Bulls are losing but Zack lavine’s playing at a level where it feels like he should be an Allstar like that’s that like if we get back to that I can almost deal with that but I mean listen there’s nobody on this team that felt like they

Should have been on the All-Star team Demar didn’t feel like that uh um Kobe maybe just from a most improved start I think he probably would have got in but I think even with that right even with you’re not getting in when it’s in Indiana and they’re going to take their

On the cusp players before they take yours you know what I mean like so I I I just I liked what Kobe’s done this season I think that like you said maybe if he had done it the entire season there could have been a conversation for it but

The problem with where we’re at right now and the fact that that streak has come to an end is that there’s nobody on this team that I look at and I’m like yeah he should have been an Allstar or next he’ll be an Allstar I get it but

Like to me I guess I don’t put that much weight on it in the sense like I said before when we kind of had this conversation Allstar gam has become a popularity contest and there’s no team that’s looked more frowned upon about being mid than Chicago Bulls but then on

Top of that when we did have an All-Star in Zack LaVine before Demar got here and you know this team was actually winning basketball games we were a 30- win team we had an All-Star and nothing really came out of it the wi side like I’m more

And I get it the All-Star game is this event and it feels great to have your representation at this event that everybody’s kind of at and you get to say and look at here’s my player that’s all great and rah rah but I say this I feel better right now about the growth

That Kobe white has had than what I felt about when Zack LaVine was an All-Star those years where this team was still sucking and the reason why is because not only is Kobe grown per the output in the statistical but we’re seeing an actual leader grow in front of us on the

Court and to me that that resonates a little bit more as far as the in hoping that we’re going to at him being a building block not to say ever doubted Zack LaVine being a building block I think I just look at it for on the basketball on the court that’s the SE

The season that Zack LaVine had the best statistical season when he was damn near a 50 4090 player that felt great and he deserved to be an Allstar then do not get me wrong 50 490s nothing to look frown upon but Zack never felt like the leader it feels like now we have

Somebody who’s developing as a leader and I think that’s what makes it I guess maybe it’s a better to cope with the fact that we don’t have somebody representing us at Allstar Weekend I just think it’s I guess like right is is Kobe White gonna take that Allstar leap next season

Right like maybe maybe that’s where you look at it and feel a little bit better about I mean listen it I I’ll say this it’s easier to get in as a Chicago Allstar than probably most cities because they want Chicago to be represented because they want people

From Chicago to pay attention listen our timelines are all Chicago all we saw last night was like I’m not watching the All-Star game like why would I watch the All-Star game I’m not paying attention to the allstar game like we have to watch the All-Star Game and I watched it

Going oh this is on screen too like I was not putting that game on game hasn’t happened yet but just well the the the events I should say right like but I’m not I’m not putting the events on screen one right like I I watched most of it yesterday and once

Again I was just like we can do away with this event so so I agree with you in the I’m not worried about it what what I do like like you said is that players are developing it feels like things are starting to finally move in the right direction as far as

Development there’s there’s an actual staff in place that feels like they’re helping the young players get to a better point but when you talk about All-Star history right like there is something to be said about having a player that at least feels good enough to represent like remember with the

Derrick Rose Bulls right how we could argue for like oh man why is Lou allang not going oh why how’s Joe Keem Noah not in the All-Star Game right like because those were the things that were like these were our guys that we feel are the

Best in the NBA yeah there’s a maybe on Kobe and the fact that yes people are getting better but you’ve only got one guy that you’re like maybe on that tells you how far away from being a successful team you are because it no matter what in basketball Derrick Rose is one of

Those anomaly players where he really thought and he didn’t even win a ring where he really thought he could beat any everybody in front of him he really thought he could beat the championship Boston Celtics he was like me versus them three let’s go do it we out here we

Win it right like that is a rarity and so to me you know you need multiple Allstar level players and I’m doing air quotes because the All-Star Game right who cares but you need multiple Allstar level players for you to be really competitive in this NBA and you need

You I just don’t feel like we have anybody that it feels is going to get to that outside of Kobe white right now I mean I wouldn’t say you have to have multiple I mean you got you look at the both the Cavs and the Indiana Pacers Mo

Both teams with much brighter Futures they got one Allstar so I think you you start off with that one All-Star and Kobe white yeah but but they got they’ve got multiple players that have been in All-Star games Jared Allen went to the all-star game I mean in that case we got

Multiple players that have been in Allstar games as well we got we got three on the team hey but none of them that we feel like are going to be here in the future technically we got four drums been to one too oh about drums so I mean AC’s

Been the one too ain’t he was AC in all had allar game with the Lakers I thought I thought I don’t think AC has ever been an Allstar thought maybe that championship year when he still had a little hair wait a second I gotta check some

Things no El sco’s never been never had one oh maybe it was the hair that made it yeah yeah no no he’s never been an All-Star he was an all G League team before but no never an Allstar he need to do the D contest listen AC he’d be a lot more uh

Competitive than Jaylen Brown like the fact that they gave Jaylen Brown any Jaylen every one of jaylen’s Browns dunks were disappointed bro bro he did the D Brown thing after you dunk the whole point of it is to do it while you dunk like literally the ball was already

In the hoop and then he went like you’re almost on the floor what were you doing he dabbed he dabbed ex he dabbed that’s all it was we hey we we gonna give an M death breakdown on this Allstar Weekend on uh on views because my

God terrible terrible man um but yeah I mean listen to your point right I agree like right now the only ascending player that we have that we have hopes to have an All-Star or be be All-Star right now is Kobe white right he’s the one and um

You know we’ll see what comes with that but before we get out of this segment do want to uh shout out to D sonogo for representing the Bulls in Indiana uh Indianapolis right yeah whatever they were um with him he played in the g-league next up game this game wasn’t

Even televised it was only aired on the YouTube channel so go and check that out but at least we had somebody down in Indie representing the bull so why why are we not televised in that game anymore by the way that game has never been televised but weren’t they playing

Against like the the NBA players like the NBA no that’s a different one that was just d G League G League oh that was G League G League okay never mind I thought you were talking about the the one where they went up against the r

Stars no no which we just changing that every year trying to figure it out like they’re trying to find the right combination to make it inter they’re gonna have to find it hard because with this draft class man you it’s gonna be a lot of a lot of second year players yeah

For real for real Wy still a rising star year two yeah defensive player R defensive player to year Rising Star oh man well before we get into this final topic where we got to talk about Doug Collins being a Hall of Fame finalist got to tell you guys all about

At uh the hall of fame or as a finalist we got Doug Collins a finalist for the naysmith 2024 Hall of Fame class this is a guy who coached uh Michael Jordan in his first few years in the season he helped change the Bulls from being a

Team that was looked at as a terrible team to at least making an ECF then of course Phil Jackson took over and was able we were able to build off that going forward uh but Pat how do you feel about Doug Collins being uh a finalist

For the Hall of Fame how many gold medals is Doug Collins have trying to think I’m trying to find that right now like I has a few right because I’m just trying to figure out why he why like why I mean as you gotta keep in

Mind he’s done it He’s listed in there as a coach and broadcaster which is a different barrier but also he’s a player he was he was he was All-Star as a player several times like was it a Hall of Fame career was no I mean but that’s

The thing when you go in as a broad it’s not it’s about your contributions to the game of basketball it’s not necessarily about your individual accolades it’s about a combination of everything that that he’s done for the game it’s the Basketball Hall of Fame not just the NBA

Hall of Fame I don’t know what he did in college so this is why everybody looks at the Basketball Hall of Fame as a joke Doug when you think Doug Collins you do not think Hall of Famer I don’t even think Hall of Fame broadcaster and

That’s fair he was a cool broadcaster he was not a amazing broadcaster I wasn’t running them my like what’s the what is Collins uh uh uh go-to quote that you think of heck Mark Jackson people don’t even like Mark Jackson mama there goes that man I mean Mike Breen

Bang like what what is what is Doug Collins’s Hall of Fame career because he was in the room with Michael when Michael was amazing like dog this is why the Hall of Fame in the NBA is an ABS but I think that’s part of the problem it’s not the

NBA Hall of Fame I think that plays a big part into it why ya Ming in there why is Tracy McGrady in there why like listen Derrick Rose is gonna get in you literally can go why is Derrick Rose in there now I can make an AR he be the

Only MVP not to get every basically if you win an MVP in your NBA career you’re going to make the Hall of you but but it’s but you could you can sit there and say the career was long enough like there’s arguments to be made but like as

The Basketball Hall of Fame it’s an absolute joke because you’re just throwing people in there that have been a part of basketball for a long time Doug Collins was not a Hall of Fame player he was not a Hall of Fame coach he was not a Hall of Fame broadcaster so

Which part of his career is Hall of Fame by the way no gold medals now I don’t know if this is telling me this is a player uh but but I mean oh you know what if I’m not mistaken he got robbed of his gold medal

He got robbed to his gold medal he was on the I want to say he was on the 72 team that they ended up making play remember they kept making them replay it because they wanted who was that Russia or Serbia to win and it was at home so

They kept making them replay to play and it was like oh snap like though I guess I guess in theory he got robbed of his gold medal uh I believe he was on that team but there’s nothing about Doug Collins as Hall of Fame it’s sry right the Hall of Fame is

Supposed to be for the greatest in basketball Doug Collins does have two quotes quotables but he hasn’t been in broadcasting so long that nobody remembers them I had to go back and look him up real quick and listen to it I do remember it being said but this is when

I was a Youngster let me ask you this if you remember these quotes Pat when your teammate looks you in the eye and holds you accountable that’s the greatest kind of leadership there is you remember that quote at all didn’t he say that while he was with uh Michael though wasn’t he a

Coach there a coach where I think he was coaching the Bulls when he said that I thought uh let’s see because he was talking about Michael holding somebody accountable after the G I thought he was coaching the I might be wrong on that it looks like that quotable actually came

About when he was broadcasting in the 80s for colge he may said it there about Michael but he probably went back to the well okay then the second quotable from dou Collins that he’s credited with um to change your team you must change their comfort zone yeah okay I’m I’m remember saying

They’re great I’m just I only went and looked it up because you said What quotables doug coll have I was like that’s a good question Hey listen listen here’s the thing nobody’s quoting that there’s one here there’s one here that he said I don’t ever remember

Saying this this is what they also have list is one of his best quotes the one thing about players today is that they’re very sensitive and very fragile they didn’t grow up with tough coaches I don’t know when he would have said that I agree with him

Uh here’s the thing and I don’t want this to come off as like slandering Doug Collins but to me the Hall of Fame is for the greatest of the greats and at no point can you tell me Doug Collins was the greatest of the greats he was the

The best of the goods right Doug Collins was a really good head coach he was a really good broadcaster he was a really good basketball player he was not great and the Hall of Fame to me is about being the greatest of the greats and so

When I hear Doug K and he’s not even in right but the fact that he’s a finalist for it is just like we didn’t have nobody else like that’s that’s how it feels to me like you didn’t have and and that’s how but that’s how the Basketball Hall of fam is

Felt to me for years right when they put Yao Ming in I literally was like I like y’ I grew up watching y’all I was entertained by y’all but are we putting ya just cuz he could block Shack shot I mean this is the class you want to go over the class

You want to hear from the class finalist for players Chanty bips Vince Carter Michael Cooper uh Walter Davis Bo Ryan Charles Smith how many get in I don’t remember I don’t even remember how many get in uh women’s committee finalists uh Marine Washington and Simone Augustus they’ll both get in they’ll

Both get in uh veteran committee finalist dick Barnett Harley Ren International finalist Michelle Tims and then contribut contributors uh committee finalist Doug Collins herb Simon and Jerry West yeah see that don’t sit right with me you put you putting Doug Collins and Jerry West at the same like what what

Not necess putting them at the same level they’re just in the same class n no get get this out of here I’m no not at all hey I would do you feel Chanty bips is a Hall of Fame finalist like does chy when you look at chy does he

Have a Hall of Fame career to you I I think Chi had an amazing NBA career for especially what he what he was able to do the heights that he was able to get to the leadership and where he was draft at but I don’t think Hall of Famer when

I when I think of Chanty B I don’t think Hall of Famer when I think Chanty but I think Hall of Fame season when I think chy that season where they do end up winning the championship they shouldn’t have been there that’s fair right like they shouldn’t like literally everybody’s

Like who was the best player on that team she yeah I mean scorer wise I think rip was the best scorer on that team but was probably the best scorer but it was like a team that like won a championship off of literally like the ideals of

Basketball phlips never had not that it matters but he never had a season averaging 20 points per game again that doesn’t dictate a Hall of Famer or not but well that’s also back then how many assists was he averaging so averaged the most assist he ever averaged in his

Career was the 20056 season with the Detroit Pistons that wasn’t the championship season that was 8.6 for his career he averaged 5.4 assists per game that’s not there’s a reason Jimmy Butler says I don’t care if I got that jacket on like this like I don’t want to make seem it

Doesn’t it’s not that I want to make it seem like I don’t like Chanty bips I don’t NBA champ Champion he he world uh he won medals internationally he’s done he’s done great that’s true chy got gold medals though CH does have gold medals CH gold it’s Basketball Hall of Fame much

Like the point I made you got to give him credit he has uh wait yeah he got two two gold medals he has yeah yeah try that’s that’s why that’s why melo’s gonna get in melo’s gonna get in because the Syracuse International meal International Melo was was dangerous was a monster bro his

Time in Syracuse International play that’s what’s going to get him in take it back so look looking over Chi again whole basketball career one time NBA champion Finals MVP five time Allstar uh he made an all NBA second Team two-time all NBA uh third team he was a all

Defensive second second team he went a teammate of the Year award which take that for what you will two-time gold medalist a McDonald’s All-American as well yeah yeah he in he’s in easy easy that’s I I I when you take it outside of the NBA realm like his NBA careers at

Hall of Fame work no but outside of that yes everything is is very Hall of Fame worthy um I don’t know man like I’m to a point now where it’s like maybe just make the NBA Hall of Fame like have the Basketball Hall of Fame but maybe make the NBA Hall of Fame

So we could stop having these like goofy debates about it because the Basketball Hall of Fame at this point to me is just it’s hey it’s a open door dog did you play more than 10 years in the NBA and average more than 20 points Zack lv’s got a

Shot let’s close out the show Zine got a gold medal baby got a gold medal that’s crazy follow us on everything at locko boys you can follow me on everything at path the designer appreciate y’all for tuning in and showing love absolutely can follow me at CEO Hayes want to thank

  1. Coby and Demar leading in mins, with that many more than anyone else means Billy needs to use his timeouts late in gms more often if he continues to play them that much. They could be more tired than the opposing teams players every gm at the end of gms so use all your timeouts and challenges you got I hate seeing 1 or 2 timeouts left when the gm is over what r we saving them for. Also play the young guys more in case we may need them in the playin or playoffs

  2. Spike Lee last night was funny he said "We got that D for their Ass". When asked about Boston and all their 3pt shooting vs knicks lol

  3. Twin towers only make sense against other twin towers like Gobert and Kat. Or if we missing a PF and IF they play Adama as backup 5.

  4. I know I may be in the minority but I like the way this season is going. Zach Lavine is gone in the offseason, get whatever you can for him but a couple of picks will suffice. Coby stepping up along Ayo is a good nucleus to start building with. Patrick Williams is big question mark and I don’t know if they should keep giving him time when he had opportunities to be the guy for this team. Trade Derozan, Vuc, and maybe see what you can get for Caruso and start an official rebuild.

  5. I feel like we should give some of the other guys more mins. Like for example letting jevon Carter play and sit Coby a bit more. Not because I think Carter will do good, but maybe that'll make DeMar and Coby give us EVEN BETTER production compared to the games we've seen already

  6. Haize, could you please reduce the frequency of having Pat the designer on the show? I tune in specifically to hear your insightful takes about the Chicago Bulls. Your analysis is well-thought-out and substantive, unlike Pat's regurgitated Twitter takes, which often lack coherence. It's frustrating to have your thoughtful discussions diluted by his contributions, which detract from the depth of conversation about the Bulls, basketball, and the NBA in general.

  7. Doug Collins belongs in the Hall of fame based on his basketball playing career. Let alone his career after playing… Just because someone didn't do something when you saw it doesn't mean that they didn't do it!!!!

  8. I would usually agree that the basketball hall of fame is a joke. And they really need to establish an NBA hall of fame to separate the really great NBA players from the rest. However Doug Collins is one the greatest basketball ball minds there has ever been. He was also a former first overall draft pick, he was an above average NBA player and great college player. He got absolutely ripped off from his gold medal in 72 against the Russians. And one of his greatest quotes as a broadcaster and a phrase he coined “50/50 ball”. Doug should be a hall of famer.
