The Bulls Are BROKEN… What Went Wrong After the 5–0 Start?

The Chicago Bulls season has taken a sharp and frustrating turn. After starting the year 5–0, the Bulls now find themselves spiraling, plagued by inconsistency, poor defense, locker room tension, and growing trade rumors. In this episode of Horns Over Hoops, we break down exactly what went wrong and why this team suddenly looks broken.

Sal Bass, Scott Berman, and Dan Gracie dive into the Bulls’ identity crisis — from Billy Donovan’s coaching decisions, Nikola Vučević’s frustration, and Coby White’s struggles, to the Bulls’ obsession with pace over fundamentals. Is this roster checked out, or is Chicago simply not as good as we thought?

We also discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors, Bulls trade deadline speculation, and whether the front office should finally commit to a rebuild. Are the Bulls buyers, sellers, or stuck in NBA purgatory yet again?
