Rose goes before Thibs does. Rose is an azz.

This is a non-story that the media wants to be a story

D-Rose as mreinman said is a douchebag and a terrible Point Guard


Always has been

Thibs style is not really sustainable in the league unless your winning titles AND have the support of your 2-3 best players. While defense is valued its still a far distant 2nd to scoring.

losing is frusrating and that is all their is

Rose shouldn't give media ammo and it is apparent that DEFENSE is more important than OFFENSE
They are missing the shot blocking ability, screens that free's up ROse and causes mismatches, and uses the other players to spread the floor, also the smarts and intangibles of Dunleavey as well

Melo killed another coach and he didn't even sign there!!!

Not in a players league. Not based on the contracts. Might be why melo did not go there!!!!
I know we all love Thibs and think he'd be the ring leader of a smash mouth charles Oakly style revival in the NBA but the fact is
if you lose your lockerroom you lost your team, and your job. But not the Bank!!!!

Its a shame, I like Thibs. However Thibs + the inept Bulls medical staff is a horrific combination when it comes to players health.

They need to get Noah back on the floor. He sets the example.

Rose is the anti example and he needs to be jettisoned fast.

maybe rose can convinced Jimmy B that defense ain't fun so he should go to the knicks?

I'm sure the players on a team that has watched Rose miss so many games and made some maddening comments about playing and injuries, are paying the right amount of attention to what Rose is saying.

Exactly, which is why he can win a ton of regular season games, but come playoffs, they cant score

Thibs job has always been on thin ice. This is not new.
Nalod @ 1/20/2015 4:20 PM
Riles used to drive the Heat into playoffs where they got beat in the Mourning era.
I thought Thibs was the golden child around here?

Rose is about right for him to become a knick back before the hard cap. Shades of McDyess!

DK I would let that one slide no need to itemize it

Hey just so you know I'll be headed to the garage in a bit

wow

depends on the coach. Coaches like MDA want to run you out of the building. Defense was certainly taking a back seat.

This isn't true...

If Thibs loses Noah he lost his best ally.

Noah needs to rest and Thibs is killing him, and migh have run Rose into the ground.
Intense guys like him and Scott Skiles have about three years with core group then it gets old.
Maybe Butler was mumbling about leaving as well.

Sure is. Use your eyes and look around the league. Who's earned more money? Tony Allen or kevin marten? Jamal crawford or Bruce Bowen? We could do this all day. One great scorer can take over a game. One great defender can guard one guy. The truly special ones are elite at both. Did Ben Wallace ever earn the max? Did Rodman?

I'm not saying anything profound here.

Yes you can rally a group of guys to defend as a team but if you can't score your going to lose. How many times has Thibs been beaten by a lower seed in the playoffs?
