2014-2015 NBA thread
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) I guess I am part of the Thibs army, but the real problem I had was not with the Bulls dismissing him, although I don't think they will be a better team because of it, it was how it was done. The hatchet job the day of the firing was over the top, but they, the guys who have been crying about leaks, have been leaking crap for months. Players in their exit interviews want to avoid Thibs, this must have come from Thibs. So and so leaked this and that, whether that is true or not we will never know. What we do know is Gar Forman's quotes during the press conference announcing the dismissal and the press conference naming the Mayor was full of lies. I hope the Mayor wins 75 next year, but if players keep getting injured, like Noah did before Thibs was around, who are they going to blame? I do agree that management handled this in a piss poor fashion though. You're 100 percent correct on that.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 05:37 AM) It is funny how the Bulls smear campaign organized months ago vs Thibs has been successful. Even thiugh he coached without his best player more than half the games during his tenure, he has a.top 5 all time winning percentage. His offense is old, horrible etc. yet somehow it was top 10 in efficiency with guys like Aaron Brooks and Kirk Hinrich getting decent minutes. He ran players into the ground, yet the only 2 with real heavy minutes were Pau, having his best season in years, and Jimmy Buckets, who somehow overcame being run into the ground last year and this to be voted the leagues most improved player. Maybe Thibs had to go, but there is no basketball reason that needed to happen. The hatchet job started stealthfully months ago, and kept on continuing. Just the other day i heard a media member slammimg Thibs for playing Noah 40 minutes a night on one leg. He played 40 minutes in 2 games this year. One was OT, one was double OT. The total lack of class the Bulls organization showed will bite them in the ass one day. I hope the Mayor succeeds, but I doubt he will squeeze more wins out of the team if the players reamin the same and Rose plays less than half the time. And yet, absolutely nothing to show for it. There is nobody here who doesn't think Thibs was a good basketball coach but especially after this postseason it was time to move on. I have absolutely no clue of Hoiberg is the right replacement choice but I do know that Thibs wasnt winning a championship here with this group of core players, that alone is enough to get rid of him imo.

That was interesting. Big time Brock-Austin tease but I'm pretty sure Austin would die in the ring with Brock.

Cena has been so awesome in the ring this year but his promos still drive me nuts. KO is the best thing in pro wrestling right now.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 29, 2015 -> 12:58 PM) There was no reason for Derick to still be in that 76ers game. Every coach in the NBA has him in there. This is really an unfair criticism of Thibs that he's received since that moment.
