'No Excuses... We're Just Pathetic' - Official 2015 Chicago Bulls Offseason Thread

[Jplaya2023]

Bulls want Thibs to accept them hiring a offensive coach to his bench if not

I don't understand why he wouldn't when clearly our issues have been offensive.

I'd love to have pringles as an offensive assistant, but his ego is 2 big to accept that role.

Thibbs i would love to see come back if we hire a competent offensive coach.

Inexcusable shyt man

Let's be real Snell can't shoot, and with him playing with either noah or gibson our spacing would be hosed because they will give him open shots all game.

If snell can develop a consistent corner 3 in addition to his current skill set i'll be happy.

Snell shot 45 FG%, 39 3P% from December 30th to the end of the regular season

He cant shoot?

That never happened and you know it. The Bulls will never get back to a championship until either D Rose is gone or he is held to the standard of being a champion. Stop babying him, y'all worse than Knicks fans and Melo

people have been shytting on rose the last three years in chicago it's either him garpax or thibs

The team gave up last night it was clear as day. Alot of them dudes was tired of Thibs, and u can't really blame them. Still it aint no excuse for that weak ass effort last night. Im dissappointed as fukk in Rose

Yeah they might be pissed at thibbs, but no excuse to lay down like that in front of your home fans. These guys are still professionals and still have to act accordingly. After the 1st quarter they all just quit. I'll give Jimmy credit he kept shooting even though his shot is off.

Can't hand young players to a coach who historically shown he don't like playing them.

Front office and coach have to be on the same page.

If thibs would hire a offensive coach that he would let run that side of the ball I wouldn't mind thibs staying. But if you keep thibs you have to give him the roster he wants. Otherwise fire thibs and get the coach you know will want to coach the kind of roster gar pax wants. It can't be a divide in that.

But from last night, I think the thibs era over. It's clearly more than the offense. I think the players are tired of the hard practice the hardly any days off, and the defense being thibs only focal point.

Even if they get a offensive coach, if thibs going to play a line up at any moment with kirk and noah on the floor and won't play clearly better offensive players then it makes no sense for that.

I would think it would be easier to just hire a more complete offensive coach and just keep adrian griffen or another assistant who understood thibs defense and continue to implement it.

Numbers are misleading, almost all his shots are wide open from 3.

I will concede the argument though

My feelings are when he's on the court teams are going to let him shoot and get open looks in hopes of stopping everyone else. Look at what shumpert did to us this series shooting all those 3s because we let him shoot.

 

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

that was some shyt

playing Snell against those 4 wing lineups was such an obvious call, I feel like theres gotta be a backstory on some Thibs/Snell beef

Basketball is a G rated television program, with Snell in, you watch the games, you see that nikka....that brings it up to rated R. Thibs loves the kids

Ya'll mad at Thibs what about the no show your star player pulled tonight

Jimmy played great breh. Star player ≠ highest paid player.

Kirk can't shoot or defend better so you're actually not making any point at all.

he shouldn't be playing either!! I would play snell. I agree on that.

Snell isn't someone where defenses are going to be like (man we got to run him off the 3pt line) like you would a james jones.

Defenses would be happy giving him open shots all game

 

[GoldenGlove]

Yeah... the problem with just hiring an offensive assistant is the fact that Thibodeau would still be in charge of the rotations/lineups. He's proven he's terrible at that as well.

We have no heart! Just all talk and once again were fishing again

Thibs is a good coach, and I think honestly the players are tired of his loud yelling and defense...no change. No offense mind at all. Ok with just being down every game. No wonder he's been an assistant his entire career until we scooped him. Doesn't seem like an motivator for the team he use to rant/rave about...

Joakim Noah. All talk and getting exposed being just another Samuel dalembert. Defense minded and nothing else to add to the team! I didn't see any motivation/physical play to stop people scoring in the paint. He needs to work on his offense game. Enough is enough with this dude.

Derrick rose. Outplayed by deladova. That's right, let that sink in. If a former mvp allowed a bench warmer shoot jumpers/score from the paint and you didn't even slow him down all. You're a problem. You need to evaluate yourself. You have all the athleticism and skills to be great and once again you disappoint. You can't make 3's. You can't shoot mid/medium range consistently. Limit turnovers. Shooting selection is average at best. Than obviously you're not back to the quality you once was. What's funny is that lebron wasn't even checking him much this series and he still curled up like a nobody. Disappointed highly.

Now this jimmy butler talk...Im impressed by his overal play but I'm looking more in his game. He has potential to be a top 5-10 player in this league. He needs to work on his jump shot though and passing. Jimmy does make some bad plays. But makes up for his effort to play defense!!! Defense leads to offense!!! I applaud all his efforts this season and I appreciate luol deng for helping him be a pro/condition his body for a long season! Unfortunately we let him go! He had heart! Jimmy is the future!

Pau gasol...nothing to say about the man who lead us in double/double and the league!! Just work on his conditioning and for anything play limited minutes to save him for runs in playoffs!!!

Taj Gibson!!! All the game in the world and great play! Needs to make smarter plays and don't allow to get emotional over a deladova leg lock!!! (You kicked a guy knowing you might be suspended in a final game in your efforts to make a game 7) dumbest mistake! Needs to work on his jumpshot too! He's just comfortable to being near basket!

Finally the bench! No heart! Effort! Make shots!!! Play defense! We need to start over!!! We're the same bulls in east! Top 5 than washed every season in playoffs.. Until next season go bulls until I die!! See red!!

 

[McPiff]

y'all should ease up the talk about trading noah...let him recover properly and y'all be back to over his skillset


Thibs is a good coach but he NEEDS an offensive specialist by his side and STOP burning his damn players into the ground cotdamn it. THERES NO FUKKIN REASON WHY KIRK GOT MINUTES OVER SNELL

D Rose will be a beast next season

gerald green would do wonders for yall but garpax gonna garpax

 

[AVXL]

people have been shytting on rose the last three years in chicago it's either him garpax or thibs

Maybe in the city of Chicago in real life, but not so on The Coli. shyt look at this thread. Nobody is criticizing Rose, the most you get is some "well I'm disappointed", " well he could've played better" it's like Chicago fans are so protective of Rose y'all will never criticize him and say what needs to be said. He frauded it up AGAIN in a big spot and his performance last night was inexcusable. But instead y'all will continue to protect him or make excuses for him. It's ridiculous
