1) Tom Thibodeau (2011 NBA COY; 10th best W/L % all-time for coaches with at least five seasons of experience) sucks 2) Jamal Crawford (3 time 6th man of the year award winner) is a loser 3) Taj Gibson (support cast player) and All NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler are the primary reasons why the Bulls are under .500 the past two years 4) Bulls employees Stacey King and Sam Smith objectively analyze Bulls basketball 5) Winning a playoff series with the following starting lineup: Noah Boozer Belinelli Butler (pre all-star) Nate Robinson is not impressive 6) Western conference basketball is currently not superior to Eastern conference basketball because Western conference play is expected to decline next year |

Mind you Dallas has a better record despite having a D-League starting backcourt and So does Denver. I'm sure you had both with a better record prior to the start of the season. How is that Rondo sig working out for you? Actually Sky King should be the biggest Jimmy Butler homer going given the circumstances. It is sort of refreshing to hear an analyst bash the "franchise" guy. You don't see it often. |

I give him credit for the Kyrie vs. Steph finals prediction, but a lot of his NBA thoughts are a little... Off base. |

For all the Thibs love around here he hasn't done anything this season to disprove anything that I have said about him has he?

They may creep up into the 6th seed by year 3. If Hoiberg did that people would still want to lynch him. |

If Rubio keeps playing like he has range this team can be a contender by year 3 if they hold on to the bulk of the roster. |

Rajon Rondo is a good teammate whose blowups with multiple teams have been overstated, whereas Jimmy Butler is bad teammate and coach killer. |

His departure from Boston and Sacramento weren't even close to blows ups. It's basically only the Dallas thing. This year, outside of the Instagram post I guess, he's handled everything about as professionally as one could ask for. So yes, that is clearly something that has been overstated. |

The scout in that Ken Berger article said he's been ignoring Hoiberg's play calls as much as Butler and Wade, continuing his legacy from the Dallas days. |

Rondo is a piece of shit. He's nothing but a mediocre role player in today's NBA. I'll never forget the stories of his cry baby bullhshit in Boston. |

His teammates wanted him to stay in Sacramento. Cousins was the most vocal about it. Hoiberg is a terrible coach and whatever "plays" he is calling should be ignored. Hoiberg has already had 3 point guards go from starting to being a DNP - CD this year, so it's hard to fault Rondo for playing how he knows how to when he gets out of there. He had a good year last year, has played well when give consistent minutes this year, and will play well next year wherever he is. |

Regardless of how his teammates felt about him in Sacrameto, Rondo took shots at them repeatedly in free agency, big upping his own assist numbers because of who he was playing with. I didn't even mention his feud with Rivers, which was cited as one of the main reasons Rivers was sent to LA in the first place. I agree that Hoiberg is a bad coach, but I'd still say between Rondo and Butler one guy has a far more extensive history as a "malcontent." |

Ok, but that history is clearly overstated, which was the original point. He's only been a malcontent for one team during one season his entire career. |

Jimmy Butler also stated that he was the person to fill that roll even though there were numerous veterans that were more equipped to do so. Jimmy Butler cursed the coaching staff out during a film session and walked out. Jimmy Butler told his coach that he wasn't going to play in a game unless he was allowed to play point guard. Jimmy Butler bashed the young players for not playing hard enough during the season. Jimmy Butler instructed the coach to run more iso plays for him in the early stages of said coach's NBA career. Jimmy Butler repeatedly undermines and ridicules his coach during games. Yeah he is one swell guy that Jimmy Butler. Nick Friedell also has commented on how teammates don't really care for Butler either. All of this gets ignored because Butler is the best player on a shitty team. Hoiberg can be a weak coach but he still deserves respect. Butler isn't good enough as a player to determine who the coach of the Bulls should be either. He isn't good enough to get a coach fired. |

Rondo has also attempted to reach out to the younger guys on the team too. For the past two seasons Butler has shitted on teammates and coaches. He went out of his way to let the world know that this is his team. Being his team hasn't gotten them anywhere. He also played like shit for the past month. There were people on here that were talking about this guy possibly being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Really? He is probably a top 25 player at best at this point and he has been exposed. This was never Rondo's team. It was always supposed to be "Jimmy's Team". Hoiberg may be part of the problem but he isn't the only thing ailing the Bulls. The Bulls aren't a coach away from doing anything. That has always been my point. |
