Honestly Badger I do not remember any of it being about Pippen. From what I remember, everyone hated Krause, and Krause/Reinsdorf did not want to pay Phil like a Superstar coach.

 

MJ said he wasn't sticking around without Phil, Phil said he was done negotiating with Jerry squared, and Krause thought everyone was too old and that he could rebuild because he was that smart and completely discounted the fact that the players in the NBA saw it as a s***ty move.

 

Besides, if Pippen wanted to be out of MJs shadow, then why did he join the Rockets to play with Barkley, Clyde and Hakeem? Why would he immediately go play second fiddle somewhere else?

 

 

Well allegedly Resindorf offered Jackson a contract that would have made him the top paid coach, but Jackson rejected it.

 

With regard to Pippen on the Rockets, he was traded there, but from what I recall he made it clear he did not want to back with the Bulls.

He rejected it after Krause and Reinsdorf dicked him around back and forth. Same thing with Pippen, everyone complained that Krause/Reinsdorf never wanted to pay anyone what they were worth and negotiated in bad faith. And that is why free agents iced out the Bulls for damn near 10 years.

Wait. What?

 

The Bulls were seriously on their last legs after 97-98. They were NOT going to win 3 or 4 more titles.

 

I have to agree with this. 98-99 I could see since the east was trash and the Spurs didn't have much in the backcourt. The next 3 years though they would have had to beat the Lakers. Shaq would have obliterated them and I can't see Jordan and Scottie negating that into their mid-30's.

Jordan was being paid $32mil per season and he was offered a blank check for another year.

 

They wanted Krause fired, the money wasnt the issue.

If the Bulls are going to have a chance in this game, Thibs needs to get t-ed up pretty quickly here.

 

Clearly the refs are letting rose not being there effect them calling fouls on Bulls drives.

CJ needs to be reminded that he is not Rose.

Great basket by Booz, we need to get the ball in the bigs' hands.

Our bigs are great passers and pretty good scorers -- good things happen when they are included in the offense

Pathetic 1 on 1 D by Rip there.

Sag off Turner, make him take jump shots.

 

Have you not watched tape?

Their interior defense is s***, continue passing inside

Thank you, if they double on Hamilton immediately pass to a guy going to the basket.

BOOZER HANDING OUT TICKETS TO THE BOOZE CRUISE

 

that's the kind of game we neeeeeeeed

If we just give him touches he'll score 30 on these guys.

 

That, and if we don't inexplicably play Taj in his place for the entire second half

What is this defense? Leave everyone open?

 

Just play straight up man and make the 76ers shoot to win. Quit playing them so damn tight because all they want to do is drive. How can the Bulls not see this.

Touch call on JL3

3!!!!!!!!!

Not perfect, but not terrible 1st quarter.

Bulls didnt get anything, but their intensity is much better now.

HE WAS IN THE RESTRICTED AREA GET A T THIBS WHAT THE f***

Can they call that in the circle?

lol I like how Lucas wouldn't let that Philly player help Rip get up

ASIK!

Finally one of those assholes inside acted like they wanted the ball from Rip

Okay so the 76ers keep shooting from the same side of the court, will the bulls recognize this?

 

Also, keep making them shoot jump shots.
