Chicago Bulls podcast: Talkin' Joakim, Nate and 'Circus Trip'

The SB Nation Chicago podcast is back in business. On Friday's episode, Z.W. Martin and Ricky O'Donnell talk about the Bulls.

Ricky O'Donnell and Z.W. Martin discuss the first eight games of Chicago Bulls basketball. Topics include: Nate Robinson as the Juan Pierre of basketball, Joakim Noah as awesome, and the "Circus Trip" as typically terrifying.

The Bulls are 5-3 after an overtime victory over the Phoenix Suns, and continue their five-game road trip with a matchup against the high-flying Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Ricky and Zach wonder if these Derrick Rose-less Bulls have what it takes to successfully navigate the always treacherous waters of the 'Circus Trip'.
