I imagine Thibs wants to kill him. He's worthless. So is Teague. A 90 year old Taj is more valuable than both.

The fans in Minnesota will want to kill Thibs if they miss the playoffs again. His Gm moves combined with bad coaching is killing the franchise.

He made the same mistaked before Butler got injured. He's how Pippen described Tyrus Thomas.

LTG, I get the Bulls suck and people need an outlet, I'm just surprised the lemmings here went RUNNING to Thibs as their bandwagon team. They are like the abused wife than runs back to the husband. What can you do right? They should know the Thibs, "foot on gas during regular season" game by now. When Hoiberg is running roughshod with the Bulls in two years should we let them back in the door?

Wiggs was looking like a star last year, Thibs is ruing him.

The Rubio deal and the signing of Teague were awful. Besides that I'm not sure he could have done much differently. Taj and Crawford have been solid. Butler was great before his injury.

Wiggins really kills this team and they gave him $160M. I doubt a light bulb ever comes on.

His GM moves are the only reason they are in this position.

Wiggins has been dumb and taking brutal shots all season. This has nothing to do with his minutes. He just makes more of them per game now, since he is playing a few more minutes per game.

Thibodeau hasn't even been there for 2 full seasons yet. The roster still isn't where he needs it to be. He inherited a lot of guys. His worst move to this point might be the Wiggins extension.

We dismissed his dumb mistakes because he was young. He may just be dumb. No one is ruining him. He complained about opportunities when they were winning. Now he gets them and still does dumb shit.

That's the scary part. You need to strike quick with Thibs..after a while the players basically say "fuck this" to his Nazi style. Even the hardcore guys tune it out. He will be fired next year and they will retool.

Right now who'd you rather have?

Markannen
Lavine
Rubio
Dunn

Or

Butler
Gibson
Teague
Crawford.


Bad Moves

Wiggins as it stands now

Signing Dieng to a stupid contract

Signing Cole Aldrich to a stupid contract

Mid First round pick that hasn't reallly played at all due to injury. Doesn't look like there is much there though.

He is shaping up to be an awful Player personnel guy.

In hindsight giving Gar Wiggins straight up would have been a better trade. That's what the Bulls asked for too. The Bulls dodged a bullet there.

He played better under Sam "The Man" Mitchell. He is surrounded by ball stoppers and he plays in an offense that doesn't maximum his freakish athletic ability.

He has to get better but he plays on a team with a shoot first point who rarely creates opportunities for him.

Jokic shouldn't be T'd up in such a big game but he is getting close...

Taj Gibson played Jokic beautifully defensively late in the game.

Huge steal at the end of regulation and he made everything tough. He's a winning player. Now they'll get swept.

This game confirmed to me that my allegiances have 100% switched. It was nerve racking.

Jokic was a monster in the 3rd and Murray was big in the 4th but the Nuggets got tight in overtime.

I agree that Sam Mitchell going 29-53 as HC did a lot for Wiggin's overall development.

The Thibophiles were so confident in his abilities that they had to wait til after the final game of the season to show their appreciation for him.

An 8th seed which came down to the last game of the season in order to clinch and now they are rejoicing.

This guy underachieved yet again. I'm pretty sure he goes on the clock as of next season.

I thought you would come here and post about how impressed you were with Taj's defense and how Butler gutted out that win.

How did he underachieve in your eyes when you predicted them to not make the playoffs?

Dear Tom:

This letter hereby notifies you of our dissatisfaction with your performance this year. Breaking a playoff drought of over 14 years by qualifying for the playoffs is simply unacceptable. Equally unacceptable is finishing two games behind the #3 seed while missing your top performer for over a month in a competitive conference.

The results of this season stunt the development of our young players: as a result of your actions, they are no longer able to learn from other teams by watching them in the playoffs. Nor are they able to seek the counsel of Doc Rivers and Fred Hoiberg - vastly superior coaches compared to you - both of whom have copious amounts of free-time this off-season, unlike your team.

We have developed a number of key performance indicators that you are required to meet next year in order to earn back our trust. They are as follows:

- You must pass our proprietary "eye test" metrics system

Failure to improve upon this year's performance will result in immediate termination next year. Best wishes for a more successful future.

Long Time Guy
