    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He was at least in Felton shape, though.

    I think McMillan has been a decent coach, and had his players up until a month ago. Maybe it is time for a fresh face, but I don't see it happening until after the season. I'm more anti-armchair coaching than I am pro-McMillan, anyhow. I just hope people don't expect some new coach to make this team a contender without major changes to the roster.

    A 22.1 PER in 17 regular season games for Jordan, and 24.8 in the playoffs (10 games), was better than Pete Myers at any stage of Myers' career.

    Unless you're saying Jordan's 24.8 PER in the '95 playoffs somehow hurt the Bulls compared to no Jordan at all in '94?

    Ah, if PER told everything you'd have a great point.

    but, some key stats.

    He shot a career low (INCLUDING his stats in Washington) from the floor, and outside of the year he broke his leg (2nd year) and his years in Washington, he averaged a career low in ppg. He was not the player he was the next year.

    And considering his career PER average was 5 points higher, and the lowest of his Chicago Bulls career (by 3.1), yeah. He didn't give them as much as he used to.

    He gave them something, though. Pete Myers gave them a 10.1 PER the year Jordan was gone. I'm not even sure what we're debating, anyhow.

    when are we ever sure of what we debate on here? Don't we usually just yell things at a screen and forget about it 5 minutes later?

    Because, that's what I do...

    You are debating whether Pippen should be our head coach. To do that, it is of paramount importance to determine Pete Myers' PER.

    People wouldn't want Sloan because he's never won a title?

    He's a surefire HOF'er and has more playoff success than McMillan could ever dream of.

    Tom Thibedeau is the best coach in the NBA.

    BTW, while I can't see Pippen as a head coach - I don't see any harm in giving him a shot as an assistant. Every coach has to start somewhere.

    He became a quitter and a cancer in his last season. He's also totally arrogant.

    Please, NO!!!!!

    In other words you're a kneejerk defender of authority.

    Pippen and Jordan constantly ridiculed the Bulls GM and got the whole nation to hate him. Then Whitsitt signed Pippen, losing Schremph's loyalty, and Pippen bit the hand which fed him by badmouthing Whitsitt. Then Pippen kept telling local reporters that Allen should make him Asst. GM so he could retire as a player. Then he went to Chicago and went bankrupt.

    He always had a rough manner of speaking and thinking. He's a moron and should not be even an Asst. Coach.

    Eh, actually we traded for Pippen, we didn't sign him. And I'm pretty sure (although I might be wrong) that we traded for Pippen before we signed Detlef.

    Nope, you were right. We signed Detlef in August and we traded for Pippen in October.

    Actually, I'm a kneejerk opponent of armchair coaches.

    Signed shmigned, what's the diff. Don't you remember why Schremph was so dissatisfied the whole time he was here? He was brought in to start and other teams had pursued him, to be a starter. Then the Pippen windfall came because Allen outbid others and Detlef was immediately a bench scrub.

    Poor Detlef. A player who was vastly superior to him in every way was brought in and started. Wah.

    Not to mention he was pretty much washed up at that point anyway.

    The Mailman failed to deliver most playoff runs. He would get the yips and miss key free throws and wide open 15 footers. That and the fact that the Jazz never had much decent depth beyond 3 or 4 players mad it tough for them to survive 7 game series against deeper teams.
