THE OFFICIAL 2016-17 CHICAGO BULLS OFFSEASON THREAD vol. #FireGarPax

Solid win tonight!
Need to see this type of effort and production from our bench.

 

...And once again they fold like a lawn chair in the 4th qtr!

 

Dear lord, we're about to get blown out!

 

Hoidbergs lineups are TRASH.

 

you watch this team win or lose and you can see something is off

then pax with his dumbass comments last week

 

For those that didnt catch the Pax interview, don't know, or just flat out don't care....

Per SB Nation

Straight comedy!
Get Pax and Gar all the way out of the CHI!!!
Knowing Reinsdorf he'll fire Gar but keep Pax's bum @ss here till he is forced out by his own embarrassment and humiliation, just like Krause.

This clown knew all the problem and instead of hitting the reset button, he'd figured he can patch this up and just get us to a first round exit with bum @ss wade and rondo.
All of us here knew this, but kept hope that maybe things would be different.....sad, just sad.

 

It's why I won't spend a dime on a ticket until those guys are shown the door. I wish that we as a fanbase flexed our muscle more. We've been putting up with BULLs___ for too long.

 

Should've dealt Jimmy for draft picks. Instead they're running him into the ground

 

DWade is over his prime clearly and Rondo has bad team attitude for years which should be obvious.
Don't know what the Bulls frontoffice was smoking.

 

I didn't mind the acquisitions however, I'm more pissed that we still have Hoidberg as our coach. Mans doesn't know what he's doing.

 

I said this to a friend this summer when the Bulls signed Wade and Rondo and especially after they traded for MCW, but they are literally putting Hoiberg in a position to fail. His offensive schemes are perfect for today's NBA, his problem is he's got no one who can shoot the ball. You're not going to be successful when you're last in the league from behind the arc. If the Bulls do end up moving on from Hoiberg, I hope he gets a chance with another franchise who is willing to pursue some shooters and not just make the splashy headline type of acquisitions.

 

Then why not give guys like Valentine and RJ Hunter a chance ? i get that we lack shooters and all that jazz (front office is cheeks) however, our lineups are a prime example of why we shoot poorly. Should have guys like Valentine, RJ Hunter and Portis out there who can shoot the three ball.

 

I don't think Valentine is a great shooter at the NBA level but I'd like to see Hunter and Portis get some more opportunity. I think Mirotic's struggles have really hurt as he needs to be a guy who can consistently space the floor. None of their PGs can shoot which hurts. I just think the roster is ill constructed and lacks balance to be able to get the shooters out there while still being respectable defensively.

 

Jimmy with 52 tonight! Wonder how much he'll have left in the tank at the end of season.

 

Well the occassional high scoring output is not the main issue as players like MJ or Kobe did that more often in their prime and still had enough in their tank in the post season.
But the average minutes Jimmy has been playing is something they should bother. Rondo probably gets traded and doesn't play much before that and Wade is not capable to play more than 30 minutes to be efficient at his age.

 

looks like we are heading towards a repeat of last season, barely making/missing the playoffs and another bad draft pick

im glad we didnt trade butler last year, especially if we were going to draft dunn with that pick. The bulls have to unload whoever they can at this point. Doug, Taj, Niko, Lopez...stockpile assets

and for the love of god stop drafting these 'high character low upside' guys. valentine is trash he is the second coming of marquise teague

 

Barely beat the Cavs with no Love or Irving. Oh well, a win is a win I suppose.

 

Bulls should have never pursued Rondo

 

Like the first 4 games of the season, it started out promising, then things quickly unraveled.

 

what a big shot by Butler in OT. Good comeback win by the Bulls
