What a horrible showing tonight man, shyt was a straight up funeral in a lot of ways.
Thank God for Jimmy, max that man out the second you have an opportunity.
Rose had his 'recovery' year where we couldnt put blame/expectations on him, that goes away starting opening night next season. If we're going to compete, he needs to play at an all star level on a consistent basis. Tonight was embarrassing for him lowkey ... where was his fire? where was his pride? where was the kid who used to want to kill everyone on the court?
Pau will ride out his contract, which is a bargain. Im cool with that, he had a great season and was consistent. That was everything you could have wanted/expected by him.
Noah is an expiring and has no current value. There is no point in discussing trades about him right now, if he shows value next season, you can trade him off for something then if choose.
Send his ass to Germany for the Kobe treatment. One of my all time favorite Bulls, but this season was difficult, and the playoffs even worse. Feel bad for dude ...
Hope Niko, Snell. Doug can all take big steps and be guys we can count in in the rotation. **this will require a coach to actually build their confidence and play them consistently during the regular season**
And last, certainly not least, Thibs.
It was a good ride, we saw some great success, and often times didnt have a fair shake.
I think hes a great coach, and will go somewhere and make a team better immediately. its something that I never thought I would be able to accept ... Thibs leaving, but these playoffs have made it easier ... and just the realization that the decision was already made. There is nothing you can do but make peace with it.
