The Thibs hating is sad.

 

I don't hate the guy, but there's no excuse for losing this series. And there's really no excuse to get blown out by a team without Irving for three quarters and with LeBron off for most of the night.

 

I won't miss his stubbornness. Hopefully Hoiberg can at least coach a little bit of offense.

Pretty sure the Hoiberg thing has lost almost all steam.

Wait...Every piece of garbage on the Cleveland roster could have hoisted the ball behind their backs from thirty feet with their eyes closed last night and the ball would have swished through the net and Thibs should be fired for losing that game? I get that they lost to a team that basically had no star power on the floor last night, but everything they threw up there in the second half miraculously went in. It is what it is. Tip your cap and move on.

I think the concern is that the Cavs only scored 94 points last night and the Bulls couldnt finish within 20 points of them.

So is there a current favorite? Also any chance we trade Thibs and get a pick?

Thibs record as a coach is outstanding and there was talk of New Orleans having interest in trading a draft pick for him.

 

The biggest frustration about last nights game for me was in the 3rd Lebron had 4 fouls, why didnt they try to force him to foul out. It dont matter if it Was JO or whoever. that was the epic fail. Lebron passed every time he got double teamed and the perimeter shooters were wide open. take that and kyrie out and they may have been able to turn it around. terrible coaching.

Are you serious? LeBron got his 2nd foul (I believe) early in the 2nd quarter and proceeded to be untouchable for the rest of the quarter. There were 3-4 times I thought LeBron could have gotten a foul called on him, 2 obvious ones and none were called. The Cavs were so unconcerned about LeBron being in foul trouble that when he received his 4th foul midway through the 3rd, Blatt kept him in the game and he proceeded to play the majority of the remaining minutes. LeBron is not going to foul out or even pick up a 5th foul too early in a playoff game. I don't necessarily think refs are trying to not call fouls on him on purpose, but you can be damn sure officials are always aware of how many fouls he has in the game. No one wants to be the ref that forces LeBron to sit from foul trouble and swing a playoff game in the opponents favor and be all over ESPN the next day.

There's no tinfoil hat about it - LeBron won't foul out of a playoff game unless he takes someone's limb off. That's just a fact.

 

The only time I've seen a key player foul out of a playoff game was Shaq against the Bulls in 06 and 07 and that's only because he was committing about 15 fouls per game.

After LeBron's 4th he was switched to Noah until the game got out of hand, I only recall one time where help defense brought him close to the ball and he avoided challenging a 5 footer because of it. I didn't see the first half, but they were hiding him defensively once he got his 4th.

Figures that an offense-first guy would be floated in response to Thibs.

He fouled out against the Celtics a couple years ago. I think that was the game before he went off for 50 or so on them.

Not just yesterday, the whole series. There was no excuse to lose that series and they did.

 

I'm not saying he should be fired for this series alone, but I'm not going to be mad that there's going to be a different coach next season.

Rose said it's ok, gives him more time to be with his family.

 

He really said that.

 

This is another one of those things where there's nothing wrong with what he said but probably a dumb thing to say to the ravenous media.

 

Of course I could be hearing this quote way out of context as well.

I am the biggest Thibs supporter around, but...

 

It's time to make a change. Anyone who pays close attention to the Bulls should be able to tell that there is some sort of SERIOUS issue behind the scenes that we can't see. I think it is almost certainly a coaching issue. The way that we always get beat by the worst teams in the league is a joke. We only show up to play about 50% of the time.

 

As others have said, there is NO EXCUSE for what happened in game 6. We just absolutely did not care about winning that game. If Derrick Rose wasn't hurt in some way in game 6, then I no longer believe that we can build around him. He had Dellavedova on him and the guy couldn't even TAKE a shot. It would be one thing if he had a bad shooting night, but Rose just decided to take the night off entirely. No shots, no drives, no free throws. He was already looking forward to enjoying his off-season.
