Chicago Bulls

Brutal last night. Can't believe Taj got ejected. That Delladova guy was holding his foot between his legs and all he did was yank his foot out of there. It looked like he kicked him, but he didn't Shocked that they still ejected him after reviewing the replay.

Rose had a great 1st quarter and then was pretty quiet the rest of the game. Looked like his wrist or arm was hurting...hopefully nothing serious.

What a pathetic way to go out last night. Irving out for most of the game and Lebron didn't play well and they still got their asses kicked on their home court. I kept waiting for Rose to take over and get them back in the game but it didn't happen. But no, he gets outplayed by this Dellevadova guy. What a joke.

Thibs is done. And I'm fine with it. He's a really good coach, but the way he handles his players minutes and the constant inconsistency of his teams is too much. And the fact that him and the front office are barely on speaking terms is just not a good environment for anybody.

Pretty strong showing last night. Wow, what a dud.

I hope the new coach plays to the young talent more: Snell, Mirotec, McDerrmott, etc. I'm tired of Noah- heart can only take you so far before your average skill degrades from your nagging injuries. Pau was solid but also too old to endure an entire postseason. Derrick's 40% from the field was terrible. Good luck to the Cavs from here on out, their city needs a winner (for God sake).

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that aspect of Thibs. HIs unwillingness to play young guys was nauseating. Noah was never great on offense, but he seemed to get so much worse this year. And like you said, heart only takes you so far.

I just can't root for the Cavs. Can't bring myself to root for Lebron....the guy makes me sick.

Agreed, loved Thibs but he is so stubborn and not a great offensive mind. It's time for a fresh face.

I'll be rooting for the western conference! Not sure Cleveland gets passed the hawks either, Irving is questionable

we don't agree on a lot......but THAT was bullshit.

that said, glad the cavs won.

Well it looks like Gar/Pax got their puppet and yes man that they wanted with Hoiberg. Thibs definitely had to go, but the smear campaign by the Bulls front office was really pathetic. Just fire the guy and move on....why did they have to bad mouth him on the way out? No class.

Indifference71

Of course the Bulls don't do shit at the trade deadline. This team is going nowhere so why the hell would they keep Pau Gasol who is a free agent at the end of the year??? Everyone on this team except Butler should have been on the trading block. And then Gar says that they want to re-sign Pau and Noah in the offseason???? I really don't understand what the hell they are doing over there. But I guess this is what happens when there is no accountability on Gar/Pax from management. What a mess.

Fixed that for ya.

I can't watch this team anymore. I've been splitting season tickets with a group of people for the last several years and have been thinking of pulling the plug for the last two seasons. I finally did it about a week ago. I told the guy who has tickets in his name that I'm done and his response was basically, "OK, thanks, me, too. I was hoping someone else would say so first." As soon as he made the announcement, everyone else was more than willing to dump the tix.

It sucks because they were good seats. Well, they were actually shitty seats but they were good shitty seats (section 331, row 8, which is the first row of the cheapest pricing tier) -- right on the aisle, close to good concessions, the men's room and the exit.

Plus, the NBA is joke anyway. Putting ads on the all-star uniforms was completely bush league. I'll be shocked if the regular unis don't have them next season.

So Gar Forman says that the Bulls are looking to get younger and more athletic. So they go out and sign 30 year old Rondo and 34 year old Wade. What the fuck are they doing?!?

I don't know about Rondo but in Wade's case they probably wanted to save face for trading away Rose. They get another home grown player to hold the fort for a couple years. How those three of Wade, Rondo and Butler coexist I'll never know?

Peace

Bulls front office is a joke. It's just funny to me that they go out and do the opposite of what they said their plan was. And yeah, I really can't see Wade, Rondo and Butler coexisting well.

I'm sure glad the Celtics haven't gone this path of plugging in players on temporary basis without planning if these players can even play together. These days to get to a championship level a team has to draft well, if free agents are available, choose them wisely without breaking the teams salary cap. The Celtics are doing that but Chicago on the other hand I've no idea what the plan is for that team. Just watch M Dunleavy turn out to be an asset for the Cavs as they rise next year to at least the eastern conference finals. I hope the Bulls can at least make the playoffs with these recent stellar moves.

Peace

my daughters fave team so im bias lol

Sad to see Rose gone :(

Of course the Bulls go and win the first 2 games in Boston. This team makes zero sense.

Indifference71

So I went from not giving a shit about the Bulls and hating the whole organization in general to then getting sucked back in and excited after they took the first 2 games in Boston and now Rondo is likely out for the series. So it's back to not caring and being pissed about the Bulls being stuck in NBA purgatory. Brutal.

Indifference71

LOL.  Almost 3 years with nothing in this thread.  Sums up the last few years for the Bulls pretty well.

GarPax are finally gone!  The saddest part about it is that Paxson had to tell the Reinsdorf's that it was time for a change.  If he didn't do that, it would be the same old story.  The whole family is an absolute joke.  But it does sound like Karnisovas is a great hire and he will have full control over basketball operations.  Next step is getting rid of that clown act of a coach.

On a bright note, The Last Dance documentary coming out this weekend should be great.  I'll definitely be watching.
