treatment
Remember this game 6 moment brehs?
They are part of each other. I don't know where this mentality came from, but it's stupid and counterproductive to actually wanting results in the postseason.
Who cares? The Bulls have been regular season kings before with Thibs. I don't care what the Bulls record would be in the reg season, I care about how they perform in the postseason.
That's more do with the players and not the coach. His offense isn't inept, it's the players. The scoring on this team is handled by two perimeter players and a 34-year-old big man who's on his last legs (who didn't play for the last two games - games that were lost). They're getting virtually nothing from Noah/Gibson and the bench isn't doing shyt. Without Gasol it limits their options offensively because there's nobody that can get consistent points in the frontcourt.
Newsflash - EVERY fukkin team had been going through LONG offense droughts in the playoffs. EVERY single team. Even teams that have a lot more offensive firepower than yall - they're going through the same thing. This is the problem with you, you think these problems are only central to the Bulls - they're not.
What's getting exposed is the lack of talent and the fact that both Noah and Gibson have regressed this season.
He shouldn't be on a title contender, in his current state. Especially not being counted on like he's some game-changing difference. If he eventually develops into a player that deserves to be in the rotation, cool, but as it stands right now he doesn't. The very fact you're campaigning for a player that's lucky to be on this team in the first place, should tell you that the personnel is REAL issue.
So we lying now?
You could say that for every single coach that's never won a championship, before they win one.
Say the coach with second best win% in the league's bad qualities outweigh his good ones brehs.
The entire Snell discussion started because I said he should have been in for defensive purposes instead of Niko. Now you're going to act like I'm 'campaigning' for Snell like he's the savior for this teams woes. Stop it. For months Bulls fans who've watched this team have been calling for more Snell/Moore and less Kirk. For MONTHS. So you keep skipping directly to "personnel" being the problem and ignoring the fact that Thibs is playing a guy ahead of 2 guys who arguably would help the team more. You're skipping the fact that developing players also ties into team personnel. Should we go back and look in this thread at how many of us questioned why Thibs continuously gave Kirk minutes all season long?He shouldn't be on a title contender, in his current state. Especially not being counted on like he's some game-changing difference. If he eventually develops into a player that deserves to be in the rotation, cool, but as it stands right now he doesn't. The very fact you're campaigning for a player that's lucky to be on this team in the first place, should tell you that the personnel is REAL issue.
What will it achieve playing him? Even if he does contribute for one game (he's just as well to be a negative to the team in the next game), in the long run of the postseason, it's always going to rear its ugly head that the talent is the problem - not the decision that Thibs isn't playing Snell.
I don't get why this is so hard to understand.
So we lying now?
If the Bulls FO went out and signed a proven wing player, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. That means he's lucky to be on the team.
I'm glad he's going, hopefully he ends up in the NO or on a franchise that actually gives him proper talent.
