So happy for Zo he playin his role perfectly. He can still be slightly more aggressive which I like that he takin steps. However, I look at Zo like the Draymond of the team pg form.

One thing i think youre forgetting about with these players is that vuc and lavine were on fringe playoff/rebuilding teams for most of their careers. Most teams that tank dont emphasize defense at all. Derozan was always known as an average defender in toronto and on the spurs. Vuc was the reason why orlando’s defense was even middle of the pack. And lavine always showed the athletic capability to be a solid defender. You have to give credit to the billy donovan for getting the most out or their personnel

Awesome breakdown bro ✌️ This Bulls D is 🔒🔒🔒

This year's bulls are a perfect example of what happens when players get the right situation.

Man as a Bulls fan seeing this team do so well AND have Dom make a vid on it is like when your birthday is on Christmas.

man i am LOVING all the bulls coverage 😭

Caruso was always this good defensively on the Lakers. Lakers fans been saying he was a great player and ppl just thought he was a meme

I want D Rose back on the bulls to get him a chance for a ringw/ the team that drafted him

seeing Caruso in Bulls uni reminds me of Captain Kirk Hinrich

As a Bulls fan, my favorite part of watching the Bulls is their defense. I love the energy and hustle they show, especially compared to previous years

We need to start a dialogue on players immediately improving after leaving the Lakers.

Let's do a little overreaction here and imagine the Golden State Warriors vs. Chicago Bulls in this year's NBA Finals...

The Bulls and the Heat gotta be one of the best matchups in the league

Bulls were already 12th in defensive rating and then they added elite perimeter defenders in caruso and zo. Anyone who said they would suck on defense is a casual

They’re really on the same team..well damn!

I'm big on film breakdown-like videos. It so fun to slow it down and see what's really happening. Keep it up bro great work

I love these breaking down videos please keep it up dom!

Every time I watch the bulls it's like they brothers, they really out there playing for each other man

I love these breakdowns. Makes me appreciate watching the games that much more.

Love the film breakdown

Their ceiling is ECF imo. very exciting to watch lol. Loving this league rn

the dom breakdowns are on point

Love your breakdowns more than the TV analysts. You're more informational and informative. Keep on Killing it my man 🔥

Dom, you are one truly incredible and beautiful human being.

Your takes are goated

Dude great video

How was the defense for an average defensive team that added lonzo and caruso the question? Obviously they would be good

Yes, its GREAT D but it’s also a lack of an offensive plan by the Knicks. Just feeding Randle the ball and hoping he makes something happen. It’s not only lack of spacing it’s also lack of off-ball action. It would have made things much harder for the help defenders

The Pokémon theme music background though!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Steven Adams would be a great fit on this team I think. I big gritty strong Center like him with this core would be nasty.

The Kings are currently watching you rn to learn how to play defense 🙃 But still it’s good to see Bullsnation back on track

I love seeing my hometown bulls on top 😮‍💨❤️

I’m loving the Pokémon music in the background of your beautiful voice, plus this is a brilliant breakdown, as expected.

My fear for the bulls is that we be like the hawks from years ago. But hopefully we continue being this dominant

Can you do a video ranking 2ks from 07 to 22 or a video explaining where 22 fits it

Hi, Awesome vid!

Bulls vs Heat would be the most interesting playoff series right now Edit: this is like first round/second round

I’ve been waiting for this bc chi town been killing it on both ends and vooch has had his cold streak at the start of the season we’re about to have 3 players who can put up 20+ a night and two are solidified that they can do it together and when vooch actually starts hitting his shots I don’t think anyone can really stop them of d and this is without Pat will being there he’s injured and should be out till just before playoff time idk if he’ll be playing but next season I expect him to make a jump and then I doubt anyone’s stopping this team they are what we folks like to call an amazing basketball team

The reason I think some of these plays work is because LaVine is so athletic in a straight line. That and the limitations of the Knicks defense (particularly with Randle as a passer; in the clip you used around the 5 minute mark, if Randle had seen the cut & thrown earlier, that's more open). Also the Knicks don't seem to have a lot of 3-point shooters out there, so the D can ignore dudes like Rose at the top of the key. Zo, Caruso, and LaVine all play solid on-ball D and understand team D schemes pretty well, so I think that contributes too.

Coach Daniel and Coach Dom need a podcast! #TapeDontLie

Dom is out here doing a Coach Nick impression

I watched about 8 or 9 Bulls games this season, they looked good after so many years that I got hyped to watch them (plus I'm a Spurs fan and we only suffer so I don't watch them as often, and I like DeRozan), but if there's something that bothers me with them is sometimes the team just die, like letting the other team make easy buckets while they lost their on, this usually happens by the end of the 2nd quarter and the 3th quarter, and there are two biggest examples of this for me that is in the game against the Celtics and the one against the Warriors, against the Celtics they managed to get back at the 4th quarter after going down by 19, but against the Warriors they couldn't because the Warriors is a way better team and they have basketball god on their side with Steph, this also happened against the Knicks around the 3th quarter but they managed to fight back after some buckets made by Coby White (I guess), this is one of the few things left with the Bulls for me to see them as a contender, maybe this will be solved as the season progress.

Considering our big men are out in seeing this as a big W

Caruso is dpoy convo gotta be some type of all nba defense bro has clamps

Dom actually listened 😁

Can u explain the narrative on the nets not being good this season with them being a top 3 defense

Nah man, they're a contender already. They have a 04 pistons vibe where theres they may have allstars but they don't have a top 5 guy so were hesitant to call them a contender. They'll be in the ECF as long as they stay healthy. No one wants to play this defense for 6-7 games in a row.

shot clock violation is among the most exciting of plays

You jinxed us bruh

It’s a damn shame we don’t have Patrick Williams this season bro would’ve made our defense even better

Love your beanie. Are you happen to be a Magic fan?

We just need 1 more big. Keep.Vuc and add a good rebounder

Bulls fan on cloud 9 rn

The Ball Brothers are saving the NBA just get Gelo in there Trail Blazers

I’m a huge laker fan and I was sad to see Zo go because he’s a smart pg. Even though his time with the lakers weren’t his best, I knew his game was going to get way better because of how simply smart he is approaching the game. I’m not surprised at how good he’s become because he was already a great player, he just needed room to grow. What I’m surprised is how these “basketball fans” didn’t see his game eventually improving. They were too distracted by his dad lol

All I got to say is. . . GO Bulls Go!

would u have put the bulls in the contender category if Patrick Williams wasn't out for the season?

💯

This team is built for the playoffs.. Demar is the ultimate half court player. We have the best defensive back court in the league. Of course all that's missing is a solid big man or two plus Vuc. DJJ has to stay on the rotation as well as Javonte.

its really weird how almost all teams have a no centre line up, not even a single guy on the floor that is 6'9 or higher. Thought more teams would be taking advantage of this more

man the defensive movement is unreal. That's good on the players, but GREAT look on the coaching staff. What was supposed to be a middling defensive team is top 10, and the coaching staff has a lot to do with that.

Top 3 in the east IMO I’m pretty confident KD can produce enough to keep them top 2 but depending on Harden Joe and Aldridge they could be the best team in the east

vuch for valenchunis

I been telling ppl, the bulls are 1 Deebo big man and a 1 2way player coming off the bench away from being championship contenders!

Caruso might make 1st or 2nd team all defence 😳😬

Lol until the pacers game

Why are people concerned or surprised about their defense coming into this season? They were literally 11th in def rating last year, then added great defenders. It only makes sense that they would improve

They got like a 24% chance at this level if the nets don't step up a level. Bucks and Hear most likely. The Bulls either need a linchpin on Def or a legit Superstar. They have neither

Imagine Rudy Gobert on this team 😳... lock down city and have 2 players that can drop 30 plus any given night. Sheesh that would be a sight to see ..

This year’s Suns.

Bulls need a Scottie Barnes type. They’re not big enough for the Bucks/ Sixers/KD in a 7 game series. If they made it to the finals they wouldn’t be able to stop Jokic if Denver made the finals

keep doubting and stay surprised -bulls fan

Unfortunately the next couple years will all depend on how good Patrick Williams is. Hopefully the kid is a stud

The Knicks are so stupid. They using Randall like he's a number 1 option when he simply is not. Constantly iso-ing on the perimeter when he simply does not have the talent to do such. Also I'm not sure how much this is good defense verses terrible Knicks offense. Tibbs needs to get his act together man.

Defense

hottest team in the association and no one shows them love when the Suns gonna get some love

BEST TEAM IN THE EAST.

To think their defense would be better since they're missing patrick williams 👀

honestly there were moments the should have cut but didnt they held the damn ball too long

I wish drose signed with the bulls🤧

BTW that wasn't a foul on Lavine

They’re a 2016 Paul Milsap away from greatness

Should've kept lonzo and traded kuz...

Pokémon. 👾🎵🎶

Is this Pokémon music or am I tripping

The Bulls' defense is a sham. I'm impressed theyve made it work so well in the regular season, but when it comes playoff time they're going to get cooked by any competent offense

Zo So

how can zo be a true pg when he averages 4 assists

Bro the background track is so annoying. Does not flow with commentary at all

Trae young is ben Simmons’s DADDY😈😈😈 ICE TRAE DA GANG!!!!🥶🥶🥶
