Bulls were the deepest team in the league outside of Golden St, yet they don't have quality people. C'mon son.
Lakers OFF-SEASON IS A WRAP

Noah and Taj Gibson are somehow worse than players on the Cavs not named Bron/Kyrie????
They lost 2 at home, with a miracle Rose 3 the only home W.
You must have a HIGH opinion of Tristan, Delavadova, and Shumpert. Or Perkins, who didn't play.
Without Love, and a banged up Kyrie, and no JR for 2 games, no way Bulls shoulda lost that.

Taj Gibson and Mike Dunleavy, though.
Yeah, man, that's championship material.
Y'all would be LIVID if these dudes were anywhere near us.
I'll let y'all tell it, though. This Bulls team was stacked.
Full of All Stars.

If you could combine them into one person it would be great.
It's crazy how great they both are at coaching opposite ends of the court. And how horrible they both are at the other end :x

Ska I'm not a believer in Chicago's talent what so ever.
And I've defended Thibs right there with you these past years. He's still one hell of a coach. Still a massive upgrade for us.
But his flaw is a pretty damn scary one to see. His Inability to run any type of efficient offense against a depleted Cavaliers team with a lack luster defensive squad (and that's generous) was pretty mind boggling tonight. Just being objective.
It doesn't mean it's all on him, but it was obvious the Bulls players threw all damns out the window tonight. you don't quit like that unless you have no faith in making a comeback IMHO.
And D-Rose being a "quiet leader" doesn't help either.

Rose, Butler, Noah, Taj, Mirotic, half a Pau.
At home. Must win.
Bron, 7-23 shooting performance.
Kyrie, out before half.
Love, out.
David Blatt coaching.
JR, Tristan, Shump, Mozgov, and Deladova.
Thibbs couldn't win this game, blown out in fact?
Ok man.
I mean, Austin Rivers has won 2 playoff games, in the West. Austin. Rivers.
Thibbs can't get a game at home, against a team missing 2 HUGE pieces? I mean......

Rose low-Key is being given a pass for being an absolutely horrible leader, and I'm a fan.
A point guard is like a QB. whether we slander CP0 or not, one thing I never question is his leadership. Dudes in people's faces making sure everyone's on the same page. Never afraid to get on teammates *cue gif of him stomping and yelling at Deandre*
I get that you can't just change your personality (trust me I do, I've been trying to stop being introverted for years) but you gotta show some damn fire man, especially when you're the face of the franchise and being paid 100 million dollars.
DRose looked like he didn't give a single damn tonight when they fell behind.
Idk man, I don't mean to overreact but it rubbed me the wrong way. Just wish he showed some fire, went down swinging.

I don't think it's his job on the team. I believe Jo is still team leader. That is there to fire people up.
But I get what you're saying. He's emotionless. Just think that is who he is.

I feel you on Jo, but People can only be inspired by the same hand clapping and yelling from one guy for so long.
I'm sure it gets old, especially when dudes out there constantly bricking lay ups.
Your franchise player, especially being a point guard, has to show a little more fire man. Not for us fans, what we think shouldn't matter. For his teammates. You really think taj Gibson and mike dunleavy have anything to lose out there legacy wise? They're collecting those checks and flying to Miami next week for a family vacation.
It's the leaders job to make sure dudes care enough to at least give it all they got for one last push. He didn't say a word, those dudes all said why should we even try if he (rose) doesn't look like he's even trippin?
Can you blame them? They ain't stars. They ain't gettin star money. They're just dudes Tryna stay on a roster.
If you're rose this **** should mean everything to you (outside of family and health). Your legacy should mean more to you than those meetings you want to attend with healthy knees in 15 years. Making sure your teammates care enough about winning for 48 minutes at game time should mean SOMETHING.

I'm right with you, L2B.
Every word, we're on the same page.
Everything you've said about Thibs, Jo, even saying Rose is getting a pass despite you being a fan.
I'm with all o' that.

"Take out these guys. Less than 100%'"
*inserts Rose as the 2nd best overall*
As far as the order, there's no way were going to agree. I go by what I see from an eyeball test and a basketball perspective; you go by analytics and advanced stats.

May I take you back a few days?
Anyone remember game 4? Kyrie hobbled. Shumpert, hobbled. Bron steps on Roses foot, twists ankle. Bulls, at home, double digit lead, late, Rose was the healthiest player on the floor.
Chance to go up 3-1, at home. 1 quarter to go. David Blatt callin timeouts he don't have. Draws up plays for Bron to INBOUND the ball with 1.8
I mean, damn.
And you talkin to me like I don't watch the games. Stats all I got.
Man, I rode the Cavs all year. Pissed all these dudes off, remember? I know the Cavs. But no Love, half a Kyrie, JR out 2 games, and Shump banged up in game 4, Bulls up 10 late, at home, and Thibbs can't manage one quarter?
I don't need advanced stats b. I watch stuff too, promise.

Thing is, I'm not even passionate enough to be defending Thibs like this.
Dude has aggravated me more than enough, including this series.
Just getting tired of people acting like coaches are terrible despite the fact that they have some success.
And don't ask me to quote who said he was terrible. I never said anyone specifically said that.

I won't say terrible, but he's hella overrated, same as Doc.
Heh, Doc just got blowed out, at home, up 20, by Kevin McHale, who's big move was benching his best player for the 4th quarter.
Been a banner day for me with them fugazi coaches.
MDA woulda won those series.

Didn't want to clutter the Playoff thread, but @eddiengambino would like to discuss the Lakers dominance over the Kings in the early 00s.
Proceed.
Proceed.
