    It mentions Ron Adams - but wasn't that last season? This looks recycled.

    HOWEVER: if Thibodeau were available then of course you should gauge interest. He's easily a top 5 coach and probably top 3.

    I think it's easy to think of him as a grind-it-out coach (you know, like the one in Memphis, who's killing us) but he's given big minutes to people like DJ Augustin (and totally revived his career) as well.

    Thibs over Stotts easily. Defense wins championships.

    He's done great with a decimated Bulls roster. He's one of the better coaching talents in the league.

    Thibs would be a great get.

    Too bad he's going to OKC.

    Thibs is probably done because they want to hire Fred Hoiberg to a much cheaper contract.

    I honestly don't think Thibs is going anywhere. That team is coming together right at the perfect time. They are my "Darkhorse" to win it all. If they win today they will have won in the first round with a sweep. If not they will most certainly take it in 5. They will get a giant series against the Cavs. the winner of that series i say will get to the finals. The Bulls are a good team.

    I don't know? Pretty close game. Rose blew the coverage. Who lets Bayless get that open under the basket?

    Yes that was pretty messy. They still had a chance to win at the end. Chicago is the better team so yes any win Kidd gets should be huge.

    Absolutely YES. Even if he doesn't know how to coach offense at least he knows defense. We'll be improved on the defensive end and at least draw equal on the offensive end. Knowing 50% of the game well is better than knowing 0% of the game well.

    If he couldn't coach offense, the Bulls wouldn't score many points. When they didn't have anyone who could score, they played stifling defense and won games. When they do have guys who can score, he plays them. He started Carlos Boozer right up until the end.

    You don't coach for decades and not learn plays for both ends of the court.

    I don't get emotional over basketball like some people in here. Nice attempt at humor, though, I suppose.

    Isn't 50% of the game offense? So, with that being said, Stotts knows 50% of the game. Therefore, Stotts would know 50% of the game and Thibs would know 0%. I mean, just seeing your logic here.

    I think it couldn't hurt. If he can make the blazers elite defensively, the blazers healthy are already pretty potent offensively.
