The CHGO Bulls crew breaks down the Chicago Bulls' 123-116 loss to the Charlotte Hornets in Emirates NBA Cup action on Friday night.

And another loss to a “bad team.” Coby White and Josh Giddey both scored 25, but the Bulls' defense remains a massive problem. Peck, Big Dave and Will Gottlieb try to figure out how the Bulls move forward after falling to 9-9 on the season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Will Perdue joins the CHGO Bulls crew to discuss the Chicago Bulls porous defense, and "playing down" to their competition. Are the Bulls playing down to their opponent, or are teams figuring out how to exploit their weaknesses? The Bulls defense has not been good either way. How can they improve in that department? The guys share what they think is working and what is not in Plus/Minus. What player has been playing consistently well? What does the team need to fix immediately? Plus, was Billy Donovan right to bench Matas Buzelis against the Pelicans to start the 2nd half? And was Nikola Vucevic right in his recent critique of the team's play?

The CHGO Bulls crew break down the Chicago Bulls 143-130 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday night.

Plus, is it clear now that Noa Essengue is not ready for real minutes his rookie year? On a bright note, Ayo Dosunmu continues to prove his value in a contract year.
