  1. It’s just so disappointing… even the Brooklyn commentators were talking about how much talent is on this team yet, what is it that’s not connecting?!?! 👊🏼🥜🤦🏻‍♀️

  2. Ive watch almost every game since the dynasty started back in the early 90's. I think I'm going to finally quit. I cant beleive how bad these guys are. I could stomach the Cartwright, Boyland and Hoiberg years bcuz the players mainly sucked. But none had 3 "all-stars" and now they suck even worse. Im sick.

  3. Billy did NOTHING to deserve that secret extension! It's frustrating, depressing and very concerning that our front office doesn't see Billy is not the answer.

    If I'm Michael Reinsdorf, I'm calling Bob Myers ASAP!

  4. I'm with you Colby White is my favorite player 2 he is not selfish all about the teams it would be unbelievable if they would go to him some when he's hot he's incredible I would build around white if it was me

  5. It's obvious, the players are not responding to Donovan. Would they respond to Doc Rivers or Mark Jackson? Something needs to change. The Hornets are ahead of the Bulls.

  6. Thank you JG for not ignorantly blaming the coach for this mess! Too many people who are fair weather fans and giving poor evaluations on this team are delusional! It’s tough to see and hear. Great job on the accurate podcasting.

  7. Today's media is soft and pro organizations. Why hasn't any reporters asked what is Billy getting paid????? How long is the extension for???? The fans can clearly see the coach is the main problem. But AK about to hold this team back another few more years believing in the wrong coach.

  8. Everytime AC is not on the floor I'm like, "Fuck, no Caruso. The team is going to fall apart." Sure enough, every time he's off the floor they go down by double digits at least on the scoreboard. That's what it seems like anyways. Patrick Williams is not developing or getting better either. I would strongly question the personnel that's supposed to be developing players too.

  9. Speaking of Patrick Williams not taking steps forward, what about Ayo Dosunmu taking steps back? I remember watching Ayo his rookie year thinking, damn he's almost in the conversation for Rookie of the Year. Now, he's not even a solid bench player. What the hell happened with him? Did not work on his game in the offseason? Nobody got that Kobe Bryant mentality anymore? Up at 4 A.M. in the gym, staying 2 hours later than the guys that came in after you?

  10. If someone's gotta go, your first move has to send a message that +90% of the fans will agree on to go 1st. Players, there are 3-4 to chose from that fans will argue who should go first and second. If you get to fire Billy Donovan, the majority will say, "Aight. I will definitely give up my 1st player-2-go pick to fire Billy "Bubblegum" Donovan. He's a must. I don't trust him to coach the roster that'll be left behind, the young players.

    Billy still coaching the Bulls after this season would just be a constant reminder of how under his leadership with DeRozan, Lavine and Vooch, how he couldn't even make that work. AKME and crew are responsible for this too, but the coach is the players see day in and day out, old and new players. Players and fans deserve a fresh start and not be worried about moving past the failures under Coach Donovan.

    The Bulls organization has also got to show now and send a message that if you dont perform, there's a price to pay. We know the core is gonna be dismantled. That's a given. Billy's secret contract is irritating. Makes it look like he's safe no matter how bad the team performs, even if it was not in their intention, and thats where the Bulls organization fudged it up. I do not trust and will not trust the organization good intentions until AKME owns up to his mistakes and gets rid of Donovan and the "secret contract". The contract was and still is the Bulls organization's most recent bad team move and worst modern PR move that fans keep going back to when looking back to try to pinpoint where AKME and company just lost the Bulls fans' trust.

  11. 😆The only one is happy is LaVine cause he knows he's being traded. 😕Once Ball went down little by little things were changing and not for the good. They need to trade the big 3 ASAP and become what the Magic and Thunder have done….Build a winner by trading and drafting. The Bulls organization didn't want to go that route so they went for it and lost. So they need to start over AGAIN. Now one thing about the NBA you can do is that you can trade anybody and come back from this. It just needs time and patience.

  12. I’m surprised that we as Bulls fans and media are surprised at this result.
    This FO should have made a course correction a year and half ago. And nothing has been done.
    Can’t blame ownership, they shoveled out a ton of money in 2021 and the FO screwed it up. I wouldn’t give them another penny until they fix this mess to some degree.
    This falls completely on the FO, coaches, and players.

  13. Can you imagine if this FO would’ve have drafted Halliburton instead of PWill, Bulls would have a back court of Tyrese H. and Zach. And if this FO drafted Walker Kessler instead of Dalen Terry….all it took was proper talent evaluation and the identity and trajectory of this team is completely different.

  14. Dam 30 wins, just win the next game. THat's what we need – that's what the mentallity should be. Trade or bench DeMar, trade Caruso, Trade Voch. Start believing in Zach, Coby and Patrick

  15. This team is NOT the most disappointing team in the last 3 decades. 😂 This team is nowhere near close to as disappointing as the 2007-2008 Bulls. Plus, what’s there to be disappointed about? I’ve been saying it since last year, this team was a 10th seed in 2023!! Why would anyone have expectations for a 10th seed that made no major move???

  16. Jason, you spoke so well throughout the podcast. Much respect for such a real perspective that truly highlights the absolute nonsense that a once proud, winning franchise has now willingly accepted as its reality. Shameful.

  17. I’ve watched the Bulls way back in the black and white days. Every time it happened that team was the worst! This team is terrible because of a sore that has been allowed to fester. And because they haven’t been able to do anything about it for the last few years it’s infected the team. Again after 20 years of a this I’m still going to trust in the front office. Because of the chase for content and the bag some are repeating old content with some stupidity added. Some are faking amnesia, acting like this or that has never happened before! A few do have some good stuff to talk about.The title of this podcast is impossible to answer without receipts. But content+likes+subscribtions= $ plus.
