G. The Jerry Reinsdorf ALS is a complete failure.

This team will be a 6th seed at best.

What will the narrative be if the Bulls have a better record than last year.

Will it be
A. Hoiberg is a better coach than Thibs

B. The return to form of Derrick Rose and Joaquin Noah.

C. The development of Snell and McDermott.

D. The personnel moves of Paxson.

E. East is a weak ass conf.

F. None of the above.

Light em up Chicago!

I notice that also. Certain types of coaches are also beloved.

La Russa. Ditka. Guillen. Zimmer. Thibs.

General Managers are typically hated.

I think in terms of the 90's Bulls the players received most of the credit. Phil received his share and Krause none.

I think this Bulls team will be better. I was a Thibs fan until this past yr. Coaching better talent exposed him as a coach. I could point to a number of playoff series and games where guys routinely made adjustments whether it be in stategy, personnel, or both. I never saw him do it. The Bulls gave Cleveland their toughest series other than GS yet they have no talent.

I'm interested in seeing what an offensive minded coach can do with the team. I'm also interested to see how the younger players will progress under Hoiberg. Golden State won the championship with two guys both in their third year, playing starting roles. They both received playing as rookies with Barnes starting every game as a rookie. That would never happen under Thibs.

Jordan most definitely. He's the one guy nobody could argue against as to why a team was successful.

From all the things I've read, Holberg seems to know offense so that should be a plus going forward. It's definitely become a three point shooting league and he really seems to value the shot. I for one hope Snell really gets a chance this year. I think the guy can be a player in this league if only he gets the opportunity.

On top of that, I think Dunleavey would be great coming off the bench for an offensive spark. At his age, the Bulls were asking him to do too much these past couple of seasons. This year, come in and shoot while playing okay D for 15 -20 minutes a night. Same with Hinrich. Give me 10 -12 productive minutes and it'll be welcomed. There's enough minutes for everybody in an 82 game regular season. There's no reason are top guys should be running on fumes come playoff time.

Mr. Reinsdorf.

so what happens when Rose misses a 10 game stretch with some ailment? should be inneresting.....

Hinrich is D league quality. I blamed Thibs for playing that scrub. I blame Paxson for signing that scrub.

The Bulls will win 46 games and be a 4th seed ...they wouldn't even make the playoffs in the West.

can they afford Linsanity?

Unless there's a major injury, I just don't see them winning less than 50 -53. I don't get all the negativity when it comes to the roster.

We have been in agreement for awhile on this one. I think it is a combination of loathing Reinsdorf, disliking GarPax, and loving Thibs.

Yeah, like you said in an earlier post, a certain type of coach plays in this town. Which makes the Pax hate all the more strange. Could you imagine if a coach grabbed a player by the tie and got physical with him? More than likely he would be applauded by a great number of people.

And that's not to say Paxson was right or it was okay for him to do the to Del Negro. It wasn't. And if you wanted to fire him over that I couldn't argue against it. I don't believe in yelling and screaming or getting violent to solve problems unless it's absolutely necessary.

The Bulls won't be better.

I'm no fan of Jerry ... Take away Jordan and the Bulls never win a god damn thing.

Pax is a bad G.M. -President

Thibs was a good coach, I hope Freddy is better..I doubt it.

I think the Bucks have as many wins as the Bulls this season.
