Pargo sucks.

Did his back ever heal?

Pargo sucks.

Even still, he's not exactly that much worse than Salmons or Hinrich, and no team is goign to last 2 months of the season going only 7 deep.

Those two guys at least can play some defense. If Pargo isn't hitting, he is awfully worthless.

So if the Bulls lose to the Knicks tonight, is that going to be the end for VDN?

There's no telling. The end should have been weeks ago.

How is VDN still an NBA head coach?

I doubt it although on ESPN tonight they said JR thinks this should be a playoff team and he wants the playoff money. Hiring a new coach would probably cancel out that playoff money if the report was accurate. I do think there is zero chance Vinny is coaching this team next year. If the guy they want to replace him is available now, I say the sooner the better, but I think VDN is going to be around for a while. I hope I'm wrong, this is about as bad as the Bears now.

41 pts in the middle of the 3rd? Really?

I turned it off with 14 seconds left when Rose passed up a jumper in the lane to pass to a covered Deng who proceeded to throw up a heavily contested 20 footer which predictably fell short.

Pathetic.

 

And I was thinking that the Bulls would be something decent this year. UGH...

Except it was the opposite. Deng was open and Rose would have had a tough shot since the defense was crashing, but either way DRose should have taken it.

Really, is simply missing Ben Gordon enough to account for the difference between the team against the C's last year and this mess? I find that hard to believe.

I must have imagined the contested shot that Deng just took. From way too deep for that moment in the game. DRose may of had a tough shot at that moment, but I am getting sick of him deferring.

That may be it for VDN.

 

10 ASS's and 15 TO's, only getting to the line 12 times and shooting 40% = a mess offensively.

And it's the right time of year too. There's 3 offdays now, so there's a couple days to do it.

ASS's certainly is right.

I guess now I'll just be watching how Rose progresses and how many monster games on the boards Noah has. Really good to see the battle he and David Lee were in all game, from the ex college teammates. And for those wondering who are "true" leader is.. Joakim Noah answered that (on and off the court) weeks ago. I'm also glad to hear that Rose is finally healthy, which is showing in his game. Luol Deng injured again? (though playing through it, though part of me thinks if Kobe wasn't play through his broken finger, we wouldn't be seeing Deng) I for one am shocked..

Can't really blame him tonight, he was spectacular in the 2nd half. That's the Derrick Rose we all know and love and want to see WAY more of.

Well it IS the Bulls, so if they fire him, it'll probably be on Christmas Eve.

Maybe they'll give him an exit bonus so he can stop buying his suits at Sears.

So if you took the time that Sacto rallied at the end against the Bulls, and combined it with the period the Knicks got up 22 to make it a 48 minute game, the Bulls were outscored 113-52 during that time.

Bulls Boxed in by Cheap Coaching Hire

 

Great article.

 

Vinny ran three [different] plays the whole half and barely made any [play] calls. We don’t even know what to write down. They had a lot more variety last year, a lot more ball movement. It was almost like Vinny said, ‘Screw it, you guys figure it out.

I have no problem with those that want VDN gone. But it bothers me very much that it seems to be popular opinion that this would be a much better team with a different coach. There's no coach, past or present, that would take this particular team past the first round. Orlando, Cleveland, Boston and Atlanta. We're miles behind any of those 4 teams regardless of who's the coach. The one guy that should really be on the hotseat is John Paxson. But Jerry Reinsdorf is loyal to a fault. Paxson would have to quite before Jerry let him go.

We're in good shape for the future if we can get someone to sign here. But I can't imagine why anyone would right now.
