Had the sad experience of attending the Bulls Road "Watch Party" yesterday. God bless the few Luvabulls and other members of the Bulls Entertainment Network for trying to keep it an upbeat affair. The team currently sucks. It basically has 2 high caliber NBA talents in Wade and Butler and when they play, mostly through your turn / my turn buddy ball can hang with some to most NBA teams. But there is no overall team identity to this group. Without Wade and Butler there isn't anything there and no real plan of attack / identity to try and win NBA basketball games. Remember under Thibs how the Bulls would fight and hang with teams, sometimes seemingly miraculously, despite whatever injury they were having to deal with? What were the Bulls trying to do yesterday? What does GarPax's coach, Hoiberg, impart on the team? Anything? And of course its more than sad that the supposedly injury saving style of Hoiberg was fielding a team with Wade / Butler / Niko and Zipser all injured yesterday. Sad, sad, sad. McDermott seems like a lost cause in terms of being a #1, #2 or even #3 player in the league. Not an impact guy. Perhaps a quality organization could find a role for his shooting. The team defense yesterday was atrocious. This is accentuated even more when playing the Bulls former coach and leader of the team the one time in the last two decades they were an actual contender, Thibs. Hoiberg brings little to the table. GarPax's experiment of transitioning into a Jimmy / Niko / McDermott led trio is a failure. Paxson in two decades has collected many paychecks but has accompoished next to nothing, save for a couple season with Thibs and Rose. Of course the GarPax Bulls org has at one time or another smeared both Thibs and Rose. A sad time to be a Bulls fan. This Bulls Org has delivered next to nothing save for the Thibs era in two decades now and should be let go. The basketball operations side of the house is pathetic.
