2013-2014 Chicago Bulls Thread

Good Lord. If you think he's mismanaging the rotation to the degree that it hurts the team (and I can't imagine they wouldn't have told him so prior to this), fire him. If not, let him [expletive] coach the team.

 

Or if you feel like he's doing a lot else very well, but struggles with dispensing too many minutes, help him with the aspect you think he needs help with?

Is it your opinion that this is the first time this issue has come up between Thibs and management? Because if they've addressed it before (and I'm guessing they have) and he's ignoring them to the degree that they now are basically ordering him how to dispense minutes, then that's well beyond 'helping him'.

Let the dysfunction continue:

Tom Thibodeau is one of the NBA’s top coaches, but when it comes to managing minutes of his top players, he is going to get some help. Even if he doesn’t want it. The Bulls’ front office has been taking an active role in telling Thibodeau how he’ll dispense minutes to Joakim Noah, among others. And these are two parties that have had their differences in the past.

 

i think that is function

And, yet, that still might be the best way to run the team because he's a really good coach despite wanting to run his players into the gorund.

Yeah, what are you going to do? Is there someone out there that can do what Thibs does as well as perfectly manage minutes? Because I think that person would probably already be coaching somewhere. You just are gonna have to live with that foible, or do what they're doing and tell him how to manage it.

The NBA won't let Rose wear the medical tape on his neck anymore due to the dress code.

The NBA is pants-on-head mentally challenged

All leagues are pretty nuts with dress code. A couple of of years ago there was that NFL coach that wanted to wear a suit on the sidelines but was told he couldn't, and then there was the 9/11/FDNY hats the Mets(?) couldn't wear.

 

Though it does seem next level to ban medical devices, really how is this different then wearing a band-aid?

Because it's not medical unless quack medicine is a thing.

@KCJHoop: NBA spokesman said after talking to union rep Jerry Stackhouse players can wear kinesio tape on "experimental basis." So DRose can wear now.

It was Jack del Rio and he did wear a suit -- it was made by Reebok.

Mike Nolan was the one who started the idea.

[SpongeWorthy]

Lazy sloppy team.

[Sammy Sofa]

Man, I had no idea they were even playing tonight.

[Brian]

wait you review that and then give a flagrant :shock:

[Sammy Sofa]

Oh, hey, still looks like it was a good idea for Rose to come back earlier than he did.

 

He...bothers me. He's just SO dumb.

[UMFan83]

Yeah. I have no worries that he will be a star again but I've soured on him as a person in general the last year or so

[gscool89]

This is the Bulls best effort of the year and they still won't score 85. Just pathetic.

[SpongeWorthy]

Lance Stephenson is the kind of guy that brags about all the dudes he fucks in prison Edited November 7, 2013 by SpongeWorthy

[Sammy Sofa]

And you'll sweeten on him as a person soon enough again. Come on.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nah, he'll still be a turd.

[Sammy Sofa]

Perdue repeatedly saying "Loo-Al Dang" is driving me a little nuts.

[SpongeWorthy]

He will be a demigod again if the Bulls get their [expletive] together up until we flame out in the playoffs.
