“We had a lot of adversity that we had to handle this year, starting on day one with Derrick (Rose) going out with a broken bone in his eye,” Hoiberg told The Gazette. “He basically missed all of the preseason. That set us back because I was trying to put in my new system. Mike Dunleavy has off-season back surgery; he was the glue guy of that team I thought the previous year, so that set us back.

“We had so many things, with (Joakim) Noah going out with a separated shoulder, Jimmy (Butler) hurting his knee and (Nikola) Mirotic having a complication with an appendix surgery. So the continuity piece, it was tough. It was tough when you were trying to put in something new blah dee dah blah blah blah blah not my fault duh da dee blah blah.”

we have more than enough to win.
