Other Chicago & General Sports Thread LXII: The Bulls are technically an NBA team

[Bubba88]

Butler seems like a real problem child though, not sure how much of that can be blamed on Fred.

And look, I don't disagree that it didn't work. I just think, given the rosters he had to work with, I don't see a reality in which he would've succeeded.

That changes how?
Bulls needed a coaching change, should have happened in the off season

 

[clydesdale line]

Markkanen...

 

[Rooh]

Welp

 

[clydesdale line]

Welp

Boylen was a f***ing joke benching his starting 5 a couple of minutes in the 3rd. The first quarter was justified, but the beginning of the third?! that's how you lose a locker room... and quick.

 

[Kurtosis]

I’m the equivalent of Rooh when attending Bulls games. I’ve seen the Warriors, the Raptors, and now the Celtics losses. I don’t even care to do the math on how many points that collectively is.

 

[clydesdale line]

Yup. As they should be.

 

[Rooh]

Yup. As they should be.

Terrible, WCJ played only 14 minutes and Lauri should never be playing under 20 minutes in a game. Bulls fans only watch this ****show for a couple players...so play them.

 

[clydesdale line]

Gar Forman is a f***ing joke and he's the main guy whose gotta go (but Michael Reinsdorf obviously won't do it).

Sources: Bulls GM Gar Forman was the main force behind Fred Hoiberg’s firing

 

[TheSting]

Trade spots, Steve Kerr with Hoiberg going to the Warriors. Same results.

unless it is meant to be a battle of wills . meaning maybe someone on that starting 5 is not listening to the coach instruction/direction .

When you have "largest defeat in franchise history" and "losing the lockerroom" attach to you (ie Boylan), you do not come back from that.

If the Bulls try and bring back Boylan for next year, I expect several trade request (obviously the org do not have to honor those requests) to be made.

if anything, the Bulls will trade those "so-called" problem players. Boylan is a seasoned coach with yrs of coaching. i am of the firm believer the Bulls FO will listen to Boylan and his recommendation.

Apparently Dayan has become Allstar in Japan

Viciedo was such a tease. Loved the power but he just couldn't put it together

 

[clydesdale line]

Just light the fire GarPax. You two already poured the gasoline. What a f***ing dumpster fire.

 

[Rooh]

Classic Bulls.

The new replacement supposedly had the players running wind sprints during practice ... 50's favorite bag skate technique.

Zion Williamson is within reach boys!

Baines was a great hitter, but not hof material. Yuck to Smith.

Yeah, Baines is on the other side of the line where Hall of Famers should be drawn. Solid career, but in no way an all-time great.

 

[clydesdale line]

Love it!

Edgar has to get in next now.

 

[Sarava]

Harold Baines has always been one of my favorite players ever. I'm surprised he made it, but that's great.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Baines had to play in old Comiskey so it held down his power #'s

Very happy for him

How the Bulls narrowly avoided a full-blown mutiny in Jim...

Must read for anyone with a subscription. So Markkanen and Lopez (had a feeling he was one of them) were the two guys who stopped the players from rebelling against the coach.

Agreed.

Nice to see leadership from Markkanen.

Harold Baines belongs in the hall of very good and I'm a Sox fan
