We've all known this for years though. They didn't make a deal... none of us expected them to make a deal. The front office sucks, and in this post-seaosn Tom Thibodeau sucked.
With all that considered, Kirk should not have been touching the floor.
What's interesting is when I look around the at other playoff teams young players who are contributing in the postseason, I see guys who's numbers during the regular season look close or worse than what Snell's were on comparable minutes.
Why can Doc Rivers play and use Austin Rivers and actually have him contribute for them but Thibs can't do the same with Snell?
Why can Randy Wittman play use Otto Porter and actually have him contribute for them but Thibs can't do the same with Snell?
I completely understand that the front office missed plenty of opportunities to improve the roster. But when you get to the playoffs, you have to use what you have. You don't sabotage your team by doing things that consistently don't work, or play guys who aren't giving you anything. There's no excuse for how Thibs did that nikka Snell man, none.
All dude did was play hard when he was out there. We're talking about how the Bulls needed more athleticism on the wing, when the coach is playing Hinrich over a guy who's exactly that.
