Bulls Defense Impresses in Wins over Pelicans, Pistons for 3-0 Start: On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down back to back weekend wins over the Pelicans and Pistons, improving to a 3-0 start to the season. In their home opener, the United Center crowd was treated to endless highlight-reel plays, with Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso and Javonte Green shining on fastbreak scores. Lonzo Ball had a turnover-less triple double against his former team, while Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan continued to pick their spots to take over offensively. But these wins were also further evidence that - while acknowledging a lack of star par from opponents - the Bulls are engaged and focused on the defensive end. Nikola Vucevic looks more comfortable on that end than he did last season, and is contributing to the team's takeaways with his active hands. Caruso and Ball are also locked in, and their defensive focus is rubbing off on the rest of the team.

DeMar DeRozan & Zach LaVine Combine for 60 Points as Bulls Take Down Nets: On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls' impressive win over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. DeMar DeRozan continues to dominate 4th quarters, with 13 of his 29 points coming in the final frame in Brooklyn. How is he getting to his spots on the floor and knocking down shots with such astonishing efficiency? Zach LaVine, meanwhile, came up big with a layup and two free throws late in another close game, continuing to prove that his crunch time decision making is getting smarter. The Bulls were shorthanded in this one, and rookie Ayo Dosunmu had a strong game with timely plays that prove just how ready he is for the biggest stages in the NBA.

Bulls Offense Struggling with Zone Defenses as They Lose 3rd of Last 4 Games: On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave discuss takeaways from the past 3 games, with good and bad trends including 3rd quarter performances and the Bulls battling zone defenses. The loss to the Rockets might be the first truly BAD loss of the season, so what went wrong? The blowout win over Orlando was a strong response, and Coby White was attacking and efficient all night. The loss to Miami was respectably close despite a bad shooting night and too many turnovers, but it was also the latest example of the Bulls halfcourt offense struggling to score against zone defenses.

Bulls Losing Streak Hits 4 as Nikola Vucevic Has Another Terrible Game vs Grizzlies: On today's episode, Matt and Big Dave break down the Bulls loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, their fourth consecutive loss. Nikola Vucevic couldn't build off his strong game against Boston, scoring just 7 points on 2-13 from the field and getting cooked repeatedly on defense. Bulls fans may have reached their breaking point with the big man, but what about the Bulls front office? The Bulls also struggled with turnovers, and continued to feel the absences of Zach LaVine, Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, Javonte Green...the list goes on. A few bright spots in the Memphis loss were the young backcourt duo of Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu, and the surprisingly effective Malcolm Hill, who played 30 minutes off the bench after quickly earning a two-way contract to stay with the Bulls.

Nikola Vucevic's slump continued on Saturday, shooting just 3-15 in a game when the shorthanded Bulls needed more from their starting center. A bigger problem exists, however: the Bulls now have 10 players in health and safety protocols, as Alize Johnson joined the list Monday morning. The guys discuss the situation from the Bulls' perspective, and the NBA's at large. Should the league start postponing games? Should players feel comfortable playing against teams with an outbreak?

Nikola Vucevic bounced back well from a terrible night in Orlando, so why did the Bulls stop going to him when he had it cooking in the 4th? And welcome back Javonte Green!

Carmelo Anthony Makes History, Anthony Davis Plays MVP Caliber Defense, and the Lakers Get Win #1: The 2021-22 season has been, to put it mildly, off to a rocky start for the Lakers. They went 0-fer the entire preseason, then dropped the opening pair of regular season games, the second a loss to the Phoenix Suns, featuring a variety of meltdowns over officiating and a timeout brouhaha between Anthony Davis and Dwight Howard. Frankly, the team really needed a win, and finally got one against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, 121-118. It wasn't always pretty or textbook. Budding superstar guard Ja Morant (40 points, 10 assists) carved up the Lakers' defense. The ball still gets turned over way too often. Russell Westbrook remains very inefficient from the floor. And so on and so forth. However, there were also plenty of positives. Carmelo Anthony led the Lakers with 28 points off the bench, fueling a win that saw him pass Moses Malone to become number nine on the NBA's all-time scoring li by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Surprisingly, the Memphis Grizzlies aren't an awful matchup for the Minnesota Timberwolves: The Minnesota Timberwolves split the season series against the Memphis Grizzlies, and they did it by holding Ja Morant to his worst field goal percentage against any opponent this season. Plus, D'Angelo Russell shot the ball better against the Grizzlies than he did against any other team. The biggest concern is the potential gap on the glass. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down how the two teams line up against one another, and why the Morant-Russell matchup is so intriguing. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
