Ask Joakim Noah, Luol "spinal tap" Deng, and Derrick Rose if he doesn't run his players to the ground.
Derrick rose, was injured and before he got injured was fine.
Although rose always had knick knack beginning of the season injuries..which we can always attribute to playing style and the fact the pedigree and skill level of the bulls were routinely understaffed as far as comparable talent.
Plus, real talk....
Deng and Noah all had to be worked up to reach their full potential.
as both deng and Noah are euro's at their core.
On top of being character guys.
who really when you survey their pedigree. don't look like the type to take a coach really dialed in.
to work up a low skilled group that always has to play up to compete.
Both deng went to schools with a program that is known for not building toughness like that.
Plus in noah's case he played in college opposite the next most pedigreed frontcourt player of the Gen, as well.
So, it was ultra easy as a twin tower.
In Chicago they always never paired him with a real big who was as pedigree or as youthful.
To the point even now, the bulls never played big and should have made Noah and gasol a twin tower with nico at the three and rose and butler at one and two.
Instead the bulls staffed inferior low draft pedigree character guys.
that have to be pushed to play up and survey how they play up in a professional setting.
All because on paper they are inferior in general draft pedigree wise.
All those character bull teams and cheap fo moves created that dynamic not thibs.
Thibs had to work that low quality reinsdork carni assembled style group.
So, that is not thibs fault at all.
If thibs does not workup this group.
Butler never becomes actualized.
All because the environment is never created to show what type of intensity it takes.
to be applied to reach where butler could potentially get to then reach that plateau on the next level.
Including the fact before butler the bulls had garbage by draft pedigree bust types at the sg and SF positions as a rule.
So, blaming thibs was carni click bait deflection and now we see who was really to blame.
