Wasn't rooting for the Bulls, or against. Just don't care. But I'm not at all surprised. I always thought the roster was a lot lesser than what management sold a lot of gullible people. It was Thibs who could win with girls. Or geezers.
It was. Should have made some changes last summer. Even Rose is not the Rose of the past. Not near as aggressive as he was during the good years. Changes have to come now.
The Heat made the playoffs with Bosh hurt! Lost Lebron two years ago, yet here they are! Even added Joe Johnson.... What will we do? Resign Nazr and Hinrich?
Did Rose sustain an injury? I don't remember hearing about it. What's the difference between last year and this? In-DIFFERENCE. I got the sense he wants out, so did Jimmy but he was forced to sign or risk a lot of cash. Has any player praised Floyd 2.0? What's with this 25th ORtg team ranking? Hoiberg was supposed to be a better offensive coach than Thibs.
We are probably in agreement. You say indifference and I never thought of it in that way. I just knew he was/is not as agressive as he was before his injury. Indifference is probably why. Also I never thought they bought into Hoiball. This was Thibs team. Hoiberg may be a bad coach, I wont pass complete judgement on him until he gets his type of players in here. Last years team with injuries was one lucky shot by Lebron from being up 3-1 in the second round! We had the same team this season, and never made the playoffs and Rose played more games on top of that.
The reason why I am waiting to pass judgement on Fred is, I dont see JR paying two coaches not to coach. Now if Fred quits before the draft that is another story. Some fans want to see him moved to the FO then hire another coach. Has he been the ideal coach? No. He lost many games in the 4th quarter. Some even at the start of the game, when the team would be down 16 pts or more.
Rough start for Hoiball. Vindication for Thibs. Bad times for Bulls fans. Back to the .500ish Paxson slop we were getting before Thibs and MVP Rose. Let's hope they can cash in on that lucrative #14 pick. Don't forget the Kings pick! (oh wait)
Well, we certainly were given time to prepare for this. Since I care about the Bulls, I certainly hope Hoiberg ends up justifying the faith Bulls' management has shown in him. Clearly,some significant personnel changes are in the offing. Y'all enjoy the playoffs as best you can.
Or they can just fire Gar, Pax and Hoiberg and start fresh. Lord knows none of those clowns have shown much of anything to justify their continued employment. Or they can run Butler out of town and keep the crappy management.
