He had some hot stretches shooting the ball, but unfortunately was mostly cold down the final stretch of the season when the Bulls really needed his three-point shooting. The Bulls exercised the option on his contract for next season, so will he be back?

After breaking his wrist in the fifth game of the season, The Paw returned earlier than his projected timeline and played the final dozen games of the regular season. On the whole, his sample of games was underwhelming. He still doesn't show much aggression on offense, and has some discipline issues on defense. Year three will be hugely important to Patrick's development and the team's success. The guys discuss whether they believe...2022-05-101h 03CHGO Chicago Bulls PodcastCHGO Bulls Podcast: 2021-22 Player Evaluations - Nikola VucevicThe CHGO Bulls crew continues their individual player evaluations of the 2021-22 season with Nikola Vucevic, who struggled with his shot consistency in his first full season with the Bulls.

The Bucks jumped on the Bulls from the start, drilling threes and preventing the Bulls from getting the looks they wanted on offense. DeMar DeRozan only took nine shots following his 41-point Game 2, Zach LaVine looked uncomfortable and the Bulls bench gave them next to nothing. Patrick Williams also had a dud night after an encouraging performance in Game 2. This was a rude wake-up call for the Bulls, who will now try to even the series in Game 4 on Sunday.2022-04-2355 minCHGO Chicago Bulls PodcastCHGO Bulls Podcast: DeMar DeRozan vs Giannis and Billy Donovan shortens the benchMatt, Big Dave, Will & Mark discuss DeMar DeRozan's dominant performance matched up with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Billy Donovan's shorter bench in the Bulls' Game 2 win over the Milwaukee Bucks.

How much of the Bucks' struggles to score in Game 1 should be credited to the Bulls defense, and what do they need to do better? Should the Bulls stick with a similar offensive game plan to Game 1? They may have pulled out the win had their big three of DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic not all shot very poorly.

The guys talk about how the minutes might be spread out at the power forward and center positions, and the allotment of minutes that Donovan will give to young guys like Patrick Williams and Ayo Dosunmu. Do DeMar's previous playoff series stats hold any weight coming into this series, and is he unfairly labeled as a player who can't get it done because of Toronto's losses to LeBron James?
