So far Thabo got his 7 seconds of playing time in. Im serious 7 FREAKING SECONDS! Skiles your a joke, (chanting) FIRE SKILES FIRE SKILES!
When we lose to the freakin Bobcats (No offesnse Charlottle..), I'm sarting to agree. Didnt they say that Skiles players seem to tune him out after a couple seasons??
thats the one thing I feel thats gonna eventually happen. Players are just gonna get sick of the tough guy act and stop listening to his ass. Not only that but I feel like players are not going to want to play for Chicago because of all the bad media towards Skiles and his rules

Players are just gonna get sick of the tough guy act and stop listening to his ass. Not only that but I feel like players are not going to want to play for Chicago because of all the bad media towards Skiles and his rules</div>Lol thats essentially what happened with Eddy and Tyson. Aside from the fact that Eddy didn't take his heart tests, he has expressed his displeasure at times during that 04-05 season. By Tyson's comments its clear he and Skiles didn't see eye to eye. I'll say this about Skiles, he is a great teacher of the game. He can turn nobodys into somebodys but he can't take a somebody into a superstar player or really even an Allstar player. His antics would serve well in college if you ask me.Wow I was just thinking this, if you don't trade these players you could theoretically have a lineup of this..PG HinrichSG GordonSF DengPF Eddy CurryC Tyson ChandlerI know Big Ben is doing his thing but Tyson is having the better season statistically and Curry should have been an all star, and he would also serve our low post woes which probably means we are well above 500 and in a close race for 1st place in our conference. What exactly is Paxson's plans for the Power Forward next year? Certainly he isn't going to wait ANOTHER year. If he does I garantee you chicago in's and all fans will be calling for his head soon. I just wish the Knicks would start sucking again so we can get Oden or Durant. Idk who I'd take if I were the Bulls, probably Oden but Durant would be more tempting but Oden is a post player and Durant is more perimeter oriented while Oden camps out in the paint blocking shots. He would eventually take Wallace's place as our starting center but what about a frontcourt of Deng, Oden and Wallace? That would be scary regardless if Oden is a rookie.

Its not like good teams have never lost to bad teams..</div>O.k., granted any team can lose on any given night, but when you have players like Wallace, Hinrich, Deng and Duhon, that have that drive to win and play hard, and you are loseing close games because you cannot close teams out, I think there is a problem, and it starts with the head coach, despite the lack of a another rebounding and post prescence...
Losing to a team is not that good of an argument especially since the Bobcat have a pretty decent team just they are youngI mean I can bring up the Suns losing to the Hawks, because man they must have a huge problem because the Hawks suck. And the Suns are amazing, even without nash you should never lose to the Hawks with that team. Marion, Diaw, Amare, Barbosa, Bell

Well there first problem is starting PJ Brown. Lets face it, the guy is 38 years old and is a "Never has been" but now he starts and gives us nothing different than what Tyrus can do. This is where my displeasure with Skiles begins. Like take last night for example, Tyrus probably had his best game as a pro yesterday while also getting alot of BS foul calls early on him but then with 6 minutes left and the game already a blowout, Skiles decides to put Freaking Malik Allen in. Like he really needed the minutes? Why not just play Tyrus Thomas the rest of the game considering he is your future and he needs the minutes more than a veteran like Allen who contributes to nothing would need. He is only 20 years old and im sure at some points Skiles gets in the head of young Tyrus. Players like him need coaching and need some minutes on the court to learn. Playing mind games with a young player isn't exactly the best thing you could do and that is exactly what Skiles is doing. I'd also like to see VK (Viktor Khryapa) get some more PT. He can be a very versatile guy for us. He can play the PF, SF and minimum spurts at the SG position. He is a better option than Allen, Griffin, Barret, Sweetney etc.. What Tyrus needs to do is have a helluva game when he starts the next time and I mean a helluva game because Skiles may just think about starting him in place of Brown, and also Noc could be out for the rest of the season. Im talking like a 20 point 10 rebound game with 2-4 blocks. He is capable of having a game like that IF............-He gets in good position and doesn't commit touch fouls-He plays smart; no turnovers, no dumb plays-He makes a spectacular play that boosts not only him but his team-He impresses Skiles with his defensive Intensity-He has one of those Tyrus moments; like where he goes insane and starts screaming as if he is releasing the demons inside him. EXAMPLE: LSU Vs DUKE game last yearThe next game is against New Orleans and they have 2 rebounders on there team, David West and Tyson Chandler. Tyrus needs to pwn both of them and show that his presence will be felt. A 7 point 5 rebound 2 block game won't cut it with Skiles as far as starting him the rest of the season as much as all us Tyrus lovers hope it would
