2014-2015 Chicago Bulls Regular Season

[Careless]

Are ... are the Cubs the best team in town?

Blackhawks and White Sox are pretty easily.

See, he can make worse posts than his basketball posts.

I forgot that besides being the resident Bulls doom boner, gscool was the one who was super wowed by the White Sox' offseason.

hahaha nice, Snell

1-6 against the Cavs, Hawks, and Wizards. Can't beat the East's best, good luck in April.

 

See, now THIS is meatballin'

It's a very low bar you are setting for yourself.

Pretty much sums it up:

ha, okay. be sure to point out all the meatbally hot takes I make about the Cubs this year.

You may be a robot about the Cubs, but you are a meatball about everything else.

Apparently Cleveland's badness doesn't count against them.

The fact you guys took that seriously was worth every post in it

This is like a tiny cherry meatball on top of a meatball sundae.

No, that would be gross. A classic meatball mistake.

This team clearly has issues right now, but do you hear yourself when you get this worked up over a stretch of bad games in January?

The Bulls need to prove they can win in the playoffs under Thibodeau for me to have any sort of confidence going forward. They're 17-22 under Thibs in the playoffs in his coaching tenure.

 

Which has what to do with the post you quoted?

 

Plus Thibs' playoff record with the Bulls is skewed by not having Rose for two years.

 

The Thibs playoff record argument is hilarious. 10-7 record in games Rose plays in 7-15 in games Rose doesn't play.

[Derwood]

I can't believe anyone still takes the regular season that seriously.

[Sosa21MVP]

Recent struggles notwithstanding, the Bulls will be a serious threat in April, May and possibly June if they get back in good health. Noah sure seems like he is struggling with injuries right now though.

 

That always seems to be the thing with the Bulls, actually getting to the playoffs with everyone healthy. Hasn't happened since the Rose MVP season?

 

Atlanta is really 34-8? :shock:

[UMFan83]

The good thing about the bulls is that they are obviously much more talented than they are playing. It's not like we are arguing that the Bulls aren't talented enough to win a championship like we have the last 2 years. Its simply the team isn't playing up to the sum of its parts. Will that get fixed? I am not sure. The effort has been terrible, something is broken in the defense, Thibs doesn't seem to have answers right now. But there is legit hope that they put things together and figure it out.

[UMFan83]

The Bulls aren't like the Spurs where they can coast because they've proven good enough to win a title. I will agree that this stretch of terrible basketball could easily be a blip, and the regular season is a bit of a meaningless exercise for a team like the Bulls, but Thibs wants to win every game, Rose wants to prove he is back, this team wants to win and right now they aren't

There's clearly a lot for them to figure out before playoff time, I'm not refuting that. It's the idea that their records against other potential playoff opponents means [expletive] all

Shouldn't it matter that that record was amassed in one postseason, 4 years ago?

No, considering that was the only postseason that their high usage superstar played in. The next year the team was completely built around Rose being the dominant scorer. The after that it was built around Rose coming back for the playoffs (and they still managed to win a series), and the year after that it was against built around Rose again playing and being the dominant scoring threat.

 

I would accept an argument that its inconclusive but not that Thibs has proven to be a bad postseason coach.
