Imagine them levitating above the ground cross-legged, in hand-made robes in this beautiful zen garden that is atop a mountain that took 3 days and 3 nights to climb. When the GONG sounds the prediction HAS BEEN SPOKEN.

Heated discussions arise as Justin and Flavio have a debate on the future of Lavine and the Bulls. Billy Donovan’s motives are in question, and we ponder the idea of the Bulls making the play-in for the 8 seed.
Tensions rise as the Bulls start the trade deadline on a 5 game losing streak. Is Billy Donovan the guy for the task? Wendell Carter has a chip on his shoulder that we all want a bite out of. Is the only thing missing from our roster a true point guard?
We sit down and announce huge news about our podcast and our new direction. The Bulls make us proud. Is Zach LaVine going to be able to handle another star on the squad? Are the bulls still lacking in the PG position?
Discussing tweets of the week, we’ve come to find out the Bulls haven’t beat the Raptors since 2017. The possibility for the Bull's new trade targets are keeping us up at night. Also, are NBA scouts completely full of shit?
The guys discuss Tweets of the week, along with Myers Leonard being an anti-Semitic dingus. Justin is obsessed with the Hornets. The Bulls lose to a 3rd string Clippers team, when will the misery stop?
Nick and Justin discuss the eventful All-Star weekend. Tweets of the week, possible talk of Drummond to the Bulls, and Blake Griffin to the Nets, and Shaqs doctoral degree.
