Woj says the truth. The Bulls management is despicable in the treatment of their coaches. Imagine if Morrey laid hands and punched the previous coach, and then went and cursed publicly the new coach friend. Then paid the local radio, media behind the scenes to badmouth McHale to the fans. That's what the Gar and Pax have been doing and I hope from the bottom of my heart that Hoidberg ,their chosen yes man is a failure. Phil wants a triangle coach.
There's always been one constant regarding this Bull's front office and their head coaches. They have always seemed to disagree about how injured or rehabbing players are brought along/used. HCs wants them to play, the FO doesn't.
It's not Thibs fault that Noah has degenerative knees and it's not Thibs fault that Rose knees are made out of glass.
Really? Then why do they underperform, and have lackluster play so often? Isn't it then the coaches job to create plays for everyone else? Isn't that what the X's and O's are for?
If you are saying that the Rockets underperformed, then what level of performance do you expect out of this roster anyway? They won 56 games with Howard out half the season. They also advanced to the Conference Finals. Should they have won 65 regular season games and the title? And if you are referring to "underperformed" in terms of individual games, then the cause is called "variance." No sports team performs at the same level every game.
JVG should create a Coaches Union and run it, then get everyone to boycott the Bulls job. That'd show em!
True, but it IS Thib's fault he still had Noah playing ahead by 25-30 points with under 5 mins left in a game earlier this season. That is just stupid. Nobody is blaming Thibs for all of the Bulls problems but he was responsible for some of them. I read that some Bulls players did not workout at the United Center last summer because they knew Thibs would be there. They went elsewhere.

Well, I guess Rolls Royce to Chicago is almost etched in stone now. It helps that the Central Division teams are all within driving distance of each other
Coaches taking over bad teams rarely succeed. It's very rare for a good team, or a team on the cusp, to get rid of their coach and hire a college coach to replace them. This year we have two in OKC and Chicago. My bet is that both are "successful" in that they have strong records. It's hard to be successful as a head coach, no matter your background, when you are taking over lottery teams that have been run into the ground by bad management which is what most NBA job openings turn out to be.
With the bulls big rotation noah HAS to play because two of their four bigs are useless defensively. AND the bulls management and media did blame Thibs for all their problems. They forgot to look at the mirror and see how flawed was the roster they themselves created. I donteven like Thibs as a coach much. But if u gonna fire someone go ahead and do it..dont character assasinate him and constantly undermine him.
