    Dec 30 2025
    The Chicago Bulls found themselves at the center of NBA controversy after a heated Bulls vs Bucks matchup ended with a late-game windmill dunk by Giannis Antetokounmpo that sparked a postgame brawl. On this episode of Horns Over Hoops, Sal Bass, Dan Gracie, and Scott Berman break down everything that went wrong — and what it might mean for the Bulls moving forward. Despite the loss to Milwaukee, the Bulls showed real signs of growth, competing hard against one of the Eastern Conference’s top teams.

We analyze the Bucks game, Giannis’ minutes restriction, Bobby Portis’ role in the scuffle, and whether the Bulls earned respect around the league. The conversation then shifts to the future of the Chicago Bulls roster. Is Kobe White worth a $30 million contract? Should the Bulls trade him before the deadline? What role should Patrick Williams, Matas Buzelis, and Jalen Smith play going forward? The crew debates lineup changes, offensive rebounding issues, and why Chicago struggles against physical superstars. Paragraph 4 (Bulls Season Outlook + Fan Engagement) With the Bulls sitting near the Play-In Tournament, questions loom about whether this team should push forward or pivot toward development.
