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

[Shutdown10]

Bunch of people going in on Thibs but he stuck to the game plan that helped him win these two games. The game plan was to stop the star players and force the role players to beat you. He did that Shump and Delly just had great games. It's not his fault they couldn't buy a bucket to start the third.

Precisely! The support personnel was just not good enough to match or stop what the Cavs role players were doing. Thibs had a very thin rotation to work with, especially with Gasol being out games 4 and 5. The Bulls FO has to be accountable for this and they have to make things right by retooling this team this off-season.

The problem with that game plan is that it plays directly into what Lebron wants to do.

You cannot beat Lebron without the proper depth. Spurs and Mavericks proved this, so Bulls need to build this team accordingly.

I honestly hope that WAS or ATL beat this CLE team next round so all of you who are acting like this CHI team had no chance of beating this Lebron lead CLE team can shut the fukk up.

Expecting a revitalized season from him next year. He can really work on other parts of his game now.

if jordan even bothered to watch it, he probably shot the tv before it was over

Atl does not have superstar players, but they have depth. Wash has potential because they have a guy like Pierce leading Wall and Bradley.

man you know that's not going to happen they will lose in the finals

I hope Kirk retires

Actually, no, I don't know what's going to happen. This CLE team isn't even 100%, the Bulls choked this series away as far as I'm concerned.

I just want to see how other teams/coaches counter what Coach Lebron does in a series opposed to the shyt we had to sit through with this series. Blatt was just there for substitutions... Lebron did the rest. CLE ran pick and role against whoever was out of position every time and got good shots whenever they wanted against the defensive guru Tom Thibodeau who thought it was a good idea to have Taj or Noah defend 3 point shooters.

People penciled in MIA to win it all when they got to the Finals the 1st year against Dallas and Carlisle had a gameplan to beat them and it worked.

I dont think you can hang it on 1 or the other.

Thibs needs some blame, front office needs some blame

Bottom line is, this was the year to win it all and both parties blew it. Thibs could have went with the best line ups and adjusted, gar pax should have provided better players. We have seen mediocre offensive coaches still win titles if the players can figure some things out themselves. So not having the personnel in thst case falls on gar pax, allowing opportunity to pass you up to get good players on the market and making deals that set the team up to succeed is on gar pax,

But continuing to play kirk hinrich with 2 clearly better options on the bench, etwan and snell is all on the coach. Putting line ups on the floor that made a bad defense like the cavs easy to defend cause they can leave 2 guys wide open and not worry about getting hurt by that, that is on thibs.

Thibs and gar pax should know this would be the weakest cleveland will ever be at least for the next few seasons and should have moved accordingly. Standing pat when all season the team looked lethargic and not prepared is on gar pax. Continuing to be stubborn with a game plan that is not working , that is all on thibs.

 

[GoldenGlove]

I hope where ever Thibs lands that they give him the GM job too



nikka going to bring in Kirk behind him for those intangibles and gritty plays the moment he signs on with his next team

 

[smARTmouf]

If the Pelicans or the Magic are willing to give up a 1st rounder for Thibs...Then sayonara.

 

[JordanwiththeWiz]

No Nikkas hasn't acknowledge Chicago since his 2nd retirement

I'll take a heavy protected 1st
