ITS OVER: 2015-16 Chicago Bulls Season Thread
- Thread starter red222
- Start date
On a personal level, this season was a success. He fulfilled what he set put to do. Stay healthy and get back to higher level of play. Some will say he put himself before the team in that regard, but they don't understand that this teams success needed him to achieve those personal goalsExcept on the court
Hoiberg said Butler is trying to set up workouts with many of his teammates this summer, including Rose.
Maybe the most reflective Butler has been all year. Admitted he was too passive last night. Hopes to work out with Rose in the summer.
i mentioned this during our off season thread .. 'if these 2 'were serious about winning and bringing a ring back 2 the chi , they 'should' have been working out together in some capacity during the break so there could be some sort of chemistry coming into this season ( rather then working out kinks x issues during the year ) obviously injuries play a issue as well but at least they are seeing the light now .. but cmon when the season was already over
people was laughing @ me when i suggested this in the off season thread

Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose will use offseason to try to bond
MIAMI — What Jimmy Butler wants, Jimmy Butler gets.
That was evident Wednesday after Butler and coach Fred Hoiberg revealed that he and Derrick Rose plan to work out together this offseason.
But there’s a much bigger story beneath the surface.
In January, Butler raised some eyebrows in a Sun-Times article when he said he was willing to work out with Rose in the offseason, much like he did in taking Doug McDermott under his wing last summer and putting him through his excruciating program.
That came across as a shot at Rose’s work ethic, and maybe it was.
The Sun-Times also reported early in the season that Butler and several teammates didn’t respect Rose’s work ethic, especially after Rose was given permission by management last season to sit out many of then-coach Tom Thibodeau’s drills.
A source pointed out that Butler still considered Rose a friend and had no issues with him personally. He just wanted more from his teammate.
Rose and Butler have downplayed any rift, but when discussing plans to work out together, Butler showed his cards a bit.
“That’s more time that we can just spend together,’’ he said. “We know each other’s games pretty well from being around each other on the court, but in the offseason, it will let me know where he really wants the ball, what he’s really, really good at, and the same way for him with me.
“When you’re seeing each other work out and train, you gain a lot of respect for the individual because you see them putting in their time, you know what I mean? I’m not saying that I don’t respect him, but if he sees how much I’m in the gym every day and I see how much he’s in the gym every day, you know that you rhyme with that individual, and I think that’s a very important thing.
“It’s going to be great for both of us.’’
Maybe it will. But that still might not be enough to save this season.
The Bulls’ loss Tuesday in Memphis was soul-crushing in many ways as the team’s playoff hopes continued to fade.
Butler’s disappearing act with Rose back in the lineup stood out, especially after huge back-to-back games with Rose sidelined.
Butler shot 2-for-8 and scored five points while looking completely uninterested. He said it had nothing to do with playing alongside Rose again.
“We’re not winning right now the way that everybody expected us to, so there’s a problem with me and him, just like it was at the end of last year,’’ Butler said. “There’s no problem. I didn’t play well.
“It has nothing to do with him; it has nothing to do with them; it has nothing to do with my coaches; it has everything to do with me. So it’s not if we can coexist. It’s that Jimmy Butler has to play better. Jimmy Butler has to do whatever it takes to help his team win. I’m not being selfish, but it’s the truth.’’
NOTE: The Bulls announced that Horace Grant, who played seven seasons with the Bulls and won three titles with the team, was named special adviser to president and COO Michael Reinsdorf.

so this were u dudes went
2 brothers continue to deny rift
Media continues to instigate issues between the 2
Dumb ass fans feed into it, creating deflection from gar pax
How is this even a story? Who the hell cares who works out where in the off season? Jordan and pippen didn't spend all off season together, neither did magic and kareem, nor kobe and shaq. Hell kind of bs are they trying to create here.
Here we have a season of total failure where you fire a winning coach to hire ya golf buddy for 5 years 5 mill per deal , sell the fans on a improved offense, the offense gets worst, misses the playoffs all while the incompetent front office sits on its ass and does nothing to improve the depth and quality of the roster , but they want to create some fake ass controversy over who asking who to work out in the summer?
Yea tag me when we get back to talking about getting gar pax

We knew it was coming tho.
Well they do need to figure out how to play with each other better. Regardless of whether three is some personal shyt going on, they haven't played well enough together and it's concerning
Jimmy pretty much has declared he wants the ball in his hands and that's kinda supposed to be Derricks job. They gotta figure out a balance that works
Memphis game felt like game 6 last year except this team it was Jimmy shutting off. Something was certainly up with him that game

You know what, I'll give the media credit. They didn't use the "fued" storyline as much as I thought they would. And that article is just pointing out a weird showing for butler last game. I Didn't get to see it, but only 8 shots for him seems off.
But once everything settles, I expect the usual suspects to come out With their info.
