The Bulls’ Two Fatal Flaws 🛑: Why Paint Defense & Rebounding Could Derail the Season

The Chicago Bulls may be above .500, but the cracks are showing — and they’re big enough to derail the entire season if left unchecked. 🛑🐂

In today’s episode, Haize breaks down the Bulls’ two biggest, most dangerous flaws:

👉 An imploding paint defense, with opponents scoring a league-high 55.8 points per game down low — and a staggering 68 per game over the last three.

👉 A rebounding identity crisis, where Chicago ranks 4th in total rebounds but just 18th in rebound percentage and gives up the 2nd-most second-chance points in the NBA.

Haize also dives into the looming question facing Bulls executive Artūras Karnišovas:

Is he finally willing to sacrifice depth and future flexibility to fix this roster now?

With the trade deadline approaching, the pressure is rising — and the excuses are shrinking.

Plus: Why the “easy” schedule isn’t actually easy for this Bulls team, how the losses to Washington and New Orleans exposed deeper issues, and what absolutely has to change before the Bulls return from their holiday break.

This is a must-listen for Bulls fans searching for answers… or confirmation of their stress. 😅🔥
