The last time the Chicago Bulls were 5-0, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were headed full steam ahead toward their fifth NBA championship. Ridiculous.
On the one hand, I have no clue what is going on. The Chicago Bulls were viewed by almost everyone as one of the NBA’s retooling bottom feeders. They were projected to finish with a win total in the low 30s and possibly miss the Play-In Tournament altogether. In that sense, a 5-0 start is absolutely mind-boggling, especially when we consider the more experienced and superstar-led teams they beat. On the other hand, I know exactly what is going on. The Chicago Bulls have come out looking like one of the most motivated and connected young groups in the league. They have an incredibly well-rounded roster with multiple ball-handlers and versatile athletes. Even more importantly, they are all completely and utterly bought into the brand of basketball Billy Donovan has sold them. So … as bizarre as this hot start looks on paper, it doesn’t actually feel that bizarre when you watch this group play.

Mandatory Credit: Patrick Gorski-Imagn Images Last night was a step up. The Bulls were facing off against a New York Knicks team that many have viewed as the Eastern Conference favorites. Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns are two of the best scorers at their respective positions. Meanwhile, Mikal Bridges and OG Anunoby are two of the best defenders in the league. If the Bulls were going to lose their first game of the season, fans could have lived with this one. Nevertheless, what Chicago showed is that their style of play can work against almost anyone. They aren’t a team that relies too heavily on isolation scoring. They aren’t a team that needs to feast behind the three-point line. They aren’t a team that must beat you down physically. Instead, they are a team that is capable of doing nearly all those things and can lean on countless contributors. It’s a hard squad to prepare for. This nine-pass sequence shared by Steph Noh speaks to what I’m talking about …This is a great example of what I talked about in my column today. Bulls don't have great individual advantage creation, so they screen and pass like hell. Nine pass possession here. pic.twitter.com/BStIWgBa1Z
Idk what’s more shocking … the Bulls being 5-0 or Patrick Williams doing stuff like this now (? @CHSN_Bulls) pic.twitter.com/6yav17j8jI
— Bleacher Nation Bulls (@BN_Bulls) November 1, 2025 I also absolutely love the mentality we saw in the locker room video shared after the game. Yes, they look hyped … but they also look hungry. Five games ain’t nothing in the NBA, and they got another one on Sunday.Big ? pic.twitter.com/hTT3aKEM3O
— Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) November 1, 2025 I probably should also mention that last night was the Bulls’ first NBA Cup game and win of the season. They have three more on the schedule over the next few weeks and are looking to advance past the group stage for the first time in tournament history. While a matchup with Giannis and the Bucks will be a challenge, the other two cup games will come against Miami and Charlotte. Those feel like two very winnable games for this group. Can they finally get to the knockout round? The pinstripes were absolutely beautiful btw …That 5-0 feeling. pic.twitter.com/4NPLWsEiwM
