Rudy is a great coach, but I think that during the lockout shortened season, Rudy had one of his worse coaching years ever. I can't totally blame him, since training camp that year was so short. But, still we had Pippen, Barkley, and Hakeem. We were supposed to be GREAT, but we lost to the Lakers in the First Round! Face it, Rudy stuck with his old formula of dumping it in to Charles and Hakeem. If Rudy added a few wrinkles to get more movement in the offense, it would have got Pippen more into the flow of the game, and we would have had a chance to go deeper into the playoffs. It would have been fun watching Hakeem and Charles vs. Robinson and Duncan. As I said above, it wasn't all Rudy's fault, because of the lack of time in training camp, but I still think he could have done a better job. BUT Great job this past year Rudy! Rudy rules!
