PAU COST THE BULLS ANOTHER GAME. Oh wait...
I miss Thibs. It's a shame that management and the players gave up on him.
I'm glad you included the players. It's also a shame that Thibs wasn't more flexible and didn't know when to take his foot off the break. The Bulls went from one extreme Thibs (Great coach but way too intense and full throttle over the long haul) to Fred (Average or worse coach with not even close to enough intensity or idea when the put his foot on the gas). Just dumb. Garpax need to go. I know Jerry would fuck up the re-hire but at least it'd be something different. I'm sure the players would like it.
It's not really a shame that Thibs is gone nearly as much as it is that we have a front office idiotic enough to give a rookie head coach a 5 year/$25 million deal (one of the richer deals for any NBA coach ever) and virtually make him unfire-able
Very true...but I think the FO is and was the bigger problem moreso than Thibs. Their drafts over the past few seasons have been bad, they have refused to shakeup a broken roster, and they're a very rigid and unfriendly bunch. I think Thibs probably wore out his welcome but at the same time Garpax have proven to be less than adequate as well. The hiring of Hoiberg without interviewing a single other candidate was just an ignorant and reckless decision.
