With the season coming to an end for the Chicago Bulls, we here at Pippen Ain’t Easy wanted to take the time to come together and discuss some important matters with the team, the league and with food. Yes, food.

The Chicago Bulls have eight games left in their 2016-17 regular season and they’re currently outside of the playoff picture at 35-39 on the year.

After missing the postseason last year under rookie head coach Fred Hoiberg, the Bulls are a few games away from potentially missing the playoffs for the second straight season for the first time since the 2002-03 and the 2003-04 seasons.

We could potentially be on the cusp of not having postseason Bulls basketball again this year, so myself, along with some of the others guys here at Pippen Ain’t Easy, got together and we discussed some topics around the NBA, starting with the Bulls of course.

We talked about an array of topics, ranging from the Bulls’ summer plans to the best fast food joint in the United States of America. Seriously. (We have a legitimate excuse to talk about that. It’s because we’re forced to watch the Bulls all the time, so we needed something enjoyable to talk about.)

So, without any further adieu, here’s our five-question roundtable discussion starring myself, PAE Co-Expert Mike Whitlow as the mediator, Co-Expert Daniel Coughlin and four of our staffers: Malik Fourte, Dru Berry, Matthew Price and Patrick Sheetz.

Let’s get into it.
