Tom Thibodeau officially fired

[purguy12]

Im hearing it could be official this afternoon.


We will see though.

Bulls have their coach because they already said they wouldn't fire Thibs with out knowing that they have their next HC. I hope its Hoiberg

Wow. This is a big mistake by the Bulls. This is one of the best coaches in the NBA essentially losing his job because he "works his players too hard". What a bunch of pussies. I doubt we see the Bulls get back to this level anytime soon.

Were you not around for the Tim Floyd experiment?

I am assuming (with the bulls its usually the ass part) that they called around to Charolette and New Orleans, the two places that seemed to have interest, to see if they could work a trade. Apparently the answer was no so they need to pay him thru his contract unless he is hired. The Lakers apparently were interested until the part about compensation came into play..

Apparently the exit interviews with players were not too kind to Thibbs. That makes you think the inmates think they will run the asylum. Really agree he ran the players too hard, up by 20, other team calls no joy, empties bench, starters still in for the bulls.

He usually got us a pretty good seat at the table, but could not find offensive answers during the playoffs.

I guess I wont miss him until they sign some goof with no experience that does a terrible job.

I hear Mike D'Antoni is looking for a new job...

Can Davis play 60 minutes a game?

Sure.

He just won't be able to play 60 games a year.

No Players are upset that he got fired. Rose said if it was up to him Thibs would be here, Gibson said if you want someone to make you better Thibs was your guy, Noah said something positive. I didn't hear any Negative talk from the players.

I agree with you playoffs were his weakness and that is because u need to change and he would keep the same ship and stay on course.

Man, who knew Pau Gasol was a coach killer.

Kobe knew.

Phil Jackson should beg him to come to NY, and he should move Derek Fisher up to the FO, or accept an asst. coach position under Thibs.

 

[MHSL82]

Good. There were reports that they were going to hold out by not firing until other spots were hire do. That would be petty and unfair, especially with offset language.

 

[Demonjoe93]

A team like the Pelicans would love to have this guy.

nope wrong. This is a great move. It was time to move on.

i liked thibs but it was time for a change. the best chance to win a title has likely passed. he was so damn hard headed that he refused to adjust. hopefully hinrich follows him to where every he ends up. i can laugh at another team instead of wanting to throw my remote through my tv on a regular basis

 

[lakersrule]

It was a joke @purguy12. Revoke that facepalm immediately!

Phil's all-in with the triangle. Not so sure Thibs would want to run it. Not a bad idea though.

Didn't know, it has been removed. LOL

I agree, Hinrich needs to go and to be honest its time to make a big move by trading either Gibson or Noah. I hope we can draft a PG who can be a good back up for us. Trade either one of them and either get a good role player or a draft pick. I would like to land a good SF who can play D and hit 3's. Dunleavy needs to be a bench player.

I didn't really care about the facepalm but

 

[GNG]

I wonder how long he'll remain unemployed.

 

[Dolemite censored]

I wasn't expecting that.
He did not seem to be a bad coach.
He had injuries and lost key players and still made the progressed to the second round of the playoffs.

I wonder what the hard core Bulls fans are thinking.
