Da Bulls

Last couple years the Bulls have never said "Thibs is under contract and he'll be here for all of it" or something like that to quiet this down. All they ever say is the relationship is fine.

I guess you have a much higher opinion of Bulls management but I've thought Gar is an idiot for a while.

Hoiberg is apparently the guy Gar wants. That's the name that's popped up the last few times anyways.

I do think Gar is an idiot. I do not, however, believe that he is delusional or that his ego is so high that he'd run one of the best coaches in the league out of town.

I still think it's insanely overblown.

That sums it up for me.

Ron Adams is all you need to know about Gar's ego.

How many other orgs around the NBA does that happen?

Wow the Bulls suck right now.

[kmh1234]

Very frustrating team right now. I still have high hopes for the season, but wouldn't mind them exploring a trade to shake things up a little.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

The Thibs thing is so overblown. Whatever.

The Bulls need to pull their heads out of their asses on D. I'm not exactly sure what's going on other then just EVERYONE playing bad on D. It doesn't seem to be anyone in particular.

They have New Orleand and Orlando coming up. They better win both these games.

It does seem to be someone in particular. Derrick Rose.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Rose is bad on Off/Def right now. It's not just Rose. Other people are still scoring and getting theirs but defensively they've collapsed as a whole. I don't get it. Noah not 100% still? Is it Pau? Butler arguably our best defender? All the above?

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I haven't been able to catch the last like 4 or 5 games. Last I saw was the Golden State game and the game after and they started losing against bad teams.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

Good game against New Orleans. Then tonight the Bulls were up 16 in the first quarter then played bad D the rest of the game and gave up the lead.

The way they won that game was nothing short of a miracle so many things went the Bulls way the last minute and half. They really shouldn't have of won that.

[kmh1234]

If Tony Snell can play half that good for the rest of the season I will be very excited.

Would also love to see McBuckets get some minutes at 3 if Snell can't stay consistent. I know its just scrub time but he is looking healthy.

[DMBZeppelin]

Well this is the worst.

I know most disagreed, but I think Thibs is done for sure now. Not that it matters either way with Rose being made of glass.

I think its more likely now too, because they no longer have to worry about destroying a contending team. No Rose = doesn't really matter.

I never wanted Thibs gone and thought the idea of him losing the team was ridiculous but I gotta agree....don't see him around next season.

I guessing it will be Fred Hoiberg who I'm fine with but this whole thing sucks, I was all in this season.

I think the team will still be good - just not real shot at a championship.

Especially with putting Rose in the last 5 minutes or so of that last game while they were up 18 points.

That was probably the nail in his coffin.

D Rose reminds me of Samuel L Jackson in Unbreakable

if you havent seen it, Sammy wasn't the title character

There is no knowing when Rose hurt it though. Yeah its too bad that Rose's injuries will be blamed on Thibs but I feel like the Bulls have succeeded as much as they can under Thibs. $41 million owed over the next two years to a Rose is a scary thought.

[DMBZeppelin]

If tear is as minor as some believe he could be back this season.

Though mentally I'm not sure Rose could handle a return this year.

No way he back this season

[smokew11]

I would be surprised if he plays again this season.

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I think Rose will be back this season.

I however don't think he'll be much of a factor when he returns. All these non serious injuries were almost a blessing in disguise as it gave Nikola Snell and Brooks more minutes and time to develop and gain confidence. Nobody thought Mirotic or Snell would be where they are this season. The Bulls can score all sorts of ways now.

Butler just picked up right where he left off. It looks like the Bulls will be back 100% at the perfect time heading into the playoffs strong and confident.

Should be an exciting playoffs this year. So many good teams and matchups.

[bartender_man]

Rose is awful. He won't make any difference if he does in fact come back.

[cwsrule88]

I just wanted to come in here and post about how impressive Nikola Mirotic has been. They were able to get Butler and Mirotic in the same draft with the 23 and 30 picks in the draft.

Love both of em

[SqueeBaBooSquee]

I almost don't even want Rose to come back. I think he's going to bog down the team, make dumb passes and take dumb jump shots like he did earlier this season.

If he does come back, he needs to stop jacking up so many 3's, his percentage is awful.
