Chicago Bulls

February 12, 2017

I was going to start, saying how painful it’s been watching the Bulls. I want to add laughable after today versus Minnesota .I saw   a roster of lousy players courtesy of GarPax and Mirotic didn’t even play.

GarPax, GarPax.  Hire Vinny Del Negro. Immediately want to get rid of him. They have to wait for somehow the team makes playoffs in year 1. Then after almost going to blows with Paxson (who actually pulled him by his tie) he’s fired after second year.

Hire Tom Thibodeau. With the help of a healthy D.. Rose reached Eastern Conference finals Installs defense and toughness and continues to have winning seasons without Rose. He and staff develop young players like Gibson, Noah and Butler. GarPax doesn’t like the way he’s coaching and with their over blown egos let him go. I guess winning didn’t matter. Reinsdorf backs them up with scathing critic. Maybe he should have thought about all the other bad coaches after Phil Jackson and god forbid they should ever hire someone with previous experience.

GarPax now hires their own puppet Fred Hoiberg out of Iowa State (wasn’t Tim Floyd from same}. Wants to employ up tempo even though he doesn’t have the right players for that system. Ends up giving opponents more chances to score on a lousy defense. Misses playoff, neat trick in lousy conference.

Next Gar Foreman pronounces they’ll get younger. Signs 30 year olds Rondo & Wade. If you are keeping score trade netted 28 year old Robin Lopez. Garpax last 2 first round draft picks can’t crack rotation and Mc Dermott plays limited minutes. May also have something to do with Hoiberg not being able to develop young players

Normally I would applaud not playing the contract (Rondo), however, the back- ups are other team’s castoffs or In other words they suck.  This is what you call NBA purgatory. Missing out on a good draft only to get knocked out in first round of playoffs.

What they should do but probably won’t is trade Butler, a bona fide star, to a team that will get a good chance at a high draft choice. Without, Butler you get another chance for a lottery pick because they won’t make playoffs. It has gotten so bad that Neil and Stacey were talking about D-League team which is where most of the players on the court today belong.
