I'm done with the Bulls if they fire Thibs.

I'm not saying Thibs sucks. He is a top 5-7 coach in the league. No doubt.

But I remember how broken down the Hawks teams down here looked when going into the playoffs.

They were also the best Hawk teams over a 55 year stretch.

We cant just...put that aside.

Gasol and Butler are going to make the all star team... Noah made it last year, and even Rose in his current form is better than a lot of the PG's in the league.

Rose is an average to below average player right now and Noah making the all star team last year has nothing to do with this season. It's 2015, not 14. And you saying Gasol and Butler are going to make the all star team means what exactly? They still have flaws. Gasol is older and his defense can be very sub par at times. Butler has put together a great first half but that's it so far. He has yet to prove he can do it for an entire season.

Thibs is a top 5 coach in the league. Top 3 actually. The only two coaches I'd take over Thibs are Popovich and Carlisle.

If Thibs is fired it just proves what a f***ing joke Bulls management is. They ran Skiles out of town, they ran Phil Jackson out of town, they ran Del Negro out of town. And now Thibs?

Paxson and Forman suck.

who is ATL coach
who is POR coach
who is GSW coach
who is LAC coach
who is DAL coach
who is DET coach
who is MEM coach
who is SAS coach
All are better. And would fit significantly better with the bulls roster

Because he rode the starters so hard. The only team they were able to beat in the playoffs was that Pistons team with Grant Hill and an over the hill Joe Dumars. Those were some horrible teams to watch. One of them averaged 86 PPG.

Good defensive coach, but the offense sucked under him.

Rose is averaging 18 PPG, 5 assists and 3 rebounds a game. Show me how that is below average.

[Richesly]

What stats are you going by? Give them.

Over the last 10 games, he is averaging 13 ppg on 39% shooting...

[PieceOfFelt]

That's a much better post than just calling people idiots for disagreeing.

I agree.

Butler either started hot and is coming back down, or is in a slump and will get out of it soon enough.

We'll find out soon.

I don't give a shit about your opinion of my posts. You made a stupid comment and I called you out for being a dolt, it was deserved. You said a coach ruined a player's season even though he was a role player last year and may be an all star this season and also it's only January.

Rose is averaging 18 PPG, 5 assists and 3 rebounds a game. Show me how that is below average.

He's shooting 41 percent, he's averaging over 3 turnovers while averaging only 5 assists and he's played very poor defense.

[Kblaze8855]

I feel like they beat the Heat too.

Not that it mattered. 99 and 94 were probably the only years they didnt have a juggernaut in their way. Best case for those teams....lose to the Bulls...or Shaq/Penny...or later the Heat after Riley stacked that roster...

They didnt peak at the right time.

I thin the east had like 7 50 win teams one of those years. Maybe 6. I feel like a 6 seed had 54 or so wins.

Honestly, Rose has never been a really good shooter.

I know that he is not close to his 2011 prime. I know that... But he is not close to being below average.

He is close to that. He plays the strongest position in the league and he's been inconsistent, very inefficient and poor on defense. Nowhere near an all star level player this season.

Thibs is a solid head coach. Infact, he's the perfect coach for this team really.

The real issue is the coaching staff. Thibodeau surrounds himself with guys he shouldn't surround himself with. He's a stellar head coach, who has a very meh backing. That is his fault, but at least take it into consideration.

[Hotlantadude81]

Either way, Thibs is a great defensive coach, but Bud is a great offensive and defensive coach.

It's his fault? They fired one of his top assistant coaches without his consent. Again, out of town stupid.

Thibs has been making teams with limited talent extremely tough for years.

It's too early to put Budenholzer above him.

If Budenholzer can keep this up though, no doubt. What he's done w essentially a team of role players is incredible.
