(1) Boston Celtics 4 def (8) Chicago Bulls 2 | 1st Round

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Are you suggesting that if they shot better they wouldn't have to rely on offensive rebounds?

I don't see the correlation myself.

That too. But mostly that the head coach is a shooting specialist, not a rebounding specialist. It's like hiring Michael Phelps on the US Summer Olympics coaching staff, but then he decides he would focus on coaching track and field.

 

[Raskolnikov]

This team needs a real coach that demands players to play the right way and fulfill the best role for the team.

I would hire a senile George Karl even as a big fuck you to them for the way they can't play team basketball. Wade was an abomination, I hope he opts out. Wade blew game 5 hard.

I lost my mind when Zipser, Portis, and Canaan were playing amateur hour in the waning minutes of a NBA game 5 playoffs on the road. What in the actual fuck? Shouldn't make it home tonight without being fired.

Never seen anything like this buffoon. I thought Scott was a failure for failing OKC all those years, but Hoiberg is truly the worst NBA coach I have ever seen.
Blow it up!!! Trade everyone, start a Philedelphia level rebuild. I'm in. Fuck this shit, Jimmy is a waste of time. PG13 has better leadership than this guy. I'm still confused as to why Niko has no idea how to play basketball, has never heard of shot selection after 3 or 4 years in the league, and throws the ball away carelessly.

Portis is regressing. Valentine has a sloppy fucking body man. I swear to god Caron Butler is in better shape then him in his late 30's. Guys come to Chicago and get worst, please fire the coach.

 

[Ari Bear]

I'm not surprised they blew it.

 

[Raskolnikov]

I'm not surprised they blew it.

I'm surprised they won two games. I'm surprised as hell vintage Rondo showed up, he was a -19 every 30 minutes all season, then became a +15 overnight despite not having coach support. He just found himself in the Garden and boom.

I'm surprised at how bad Wade played. And I'm simply amazed at how bad of a coach Hoiberg is, and that we are running rotations we never saw before and look completely fucking lost because Rondo went down? lollllll

Its not like we leaned on Rondo all year as our leader. It was a surprise he came on at end of season. We fell apart like Michael Jordan went down and he was everything to everything we did as a team both offensively and defensively.

I gotta wonder if we coulda won this series with Gibson. Blame all around. Blow it the fuck up top to bottom. Start over....and might as well sell the fucking team too Reiny. TOP TO BOTTOM!!!

 

[Axl Rose]

this team is a disgrace.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Full rebuild. Nobody should be safe.

And I just have to say, Wade should be ashamed of himself after that series. He is old and his defense isn't what it was in his prime, but god damn he was horrible on defense. You don't just regress THAT much after being an all NBA defense guy.

It will be interesting to see what ends up happening this off season. I really hope this team is, at the very least, smart enough to not re-sign Mirotic.

 

[Raskolnikov]

Actually I forget that Wade played on a dislocated elbow and rushed back. I take back what I said.

The big 3 alpha plan was better than expected and put a scare into a #1 seed? But 2 were injured, and as the series went on Wade's handles clearly went bye bye.

Then we leaned on him even harder. He looked terrible to me but I was not thinking at the time in context of the guys arm is half falling off.

Aside from Game 5, I thought his offense was spotty as well.

 

[anotheridiot]

Thing is, Wade returned for the playoffs, even with the elbow problems, Rondo did not try to play with a fractured tip of the thumb. The bigger question for me was the defensive switches they kept screwing up. Yes, Dwayne was by himself in the lane for a rebound, but why? Why wasn't that guy a big, because the bigs were out on the three point line.

The entire Buffalo Bill GM and scouting departments were fired after this draft. I really think this bulls team needs to clean house top to bottom in their front office and start over.
