Best defender and arguably the best offensive player on the team. Easily the best player. Borderline Superstar.

40 point second half is pretty good.

Probably that too. I think it's a case of trying to assume a role you aren't familiar with.

Not quite yet a superstar. He saved them today though. You might want to hold off on that.

I'm aware. That's why I said borderline. I doubt that he will take the next step but I don't doubt that he will bust his ass trying.

Nice game. It was not on the featured tv until 1 minute left in the game.

Willed this team to win...40 in the 2nd half ( franchise record MU had 39 ) if anyone thinks he isn't the leader of DA Bulls has Farve Fan kind of knowledge

I'm glad you're just now realizing Butler is the best player on the team. Better late than never.

The Bulls offense is beginning to take shape also. Butler was great in the second half, but guys are beginning to make more plays. With a full roster they are easily the second best team in the East and they should seriously challenge Cleveland. Paxson has to make a move for a 3.

Not having Rose on the floor has really brought the best out of them.

The offense runs better without him. He's not a PG.

Agreed. Never has been, but that was fine when he was averaging 35 a night and dominating. Now he's an undersized, inconsistent 2
who is very prone to turnovers.

Nah. Don't recall that. He still has a move to make at the three. There is a logjam at the 4 and 5 spots and he won't be able to continously play Mirotic at the three. Their offense was looking better prior to the Rose injury. Hoiberg is playing his more offensive minded guys more minutes and he has done a better job of incorporating Gasol. Gasol is killing teams in the mid range and he is opening the lane up by playing Gasol mostly in the high post area. Hoiberg was a little unsure how to use Gasol earlier in the yr.

You wouldnt put any blame on Hoiberg earlier but now you're giving him all the credit. Makes sense. Wait. It doesn't.

I actually did place blame on Hoiberg. I provided a myriad of things that he was doing wrong.

Also, did you ever blame Thibs for all those anemic offensive showings against Cleveland? Do you ever give the front office credit for anything? Nope. Wasn't it Hoiberg's fault when the offense was under performing? At least in your opinion.

To illustrate the inconsistency and incoherence of what you say I pose this question.

How can the front office and the coach be simultaneously lousy if the team wins more than 50 games?

Sure. They hired Thibodeau. They drafted Butler.

Maybe just as important, he is dedicated to being the best player he can be and works hard at being that......even after he got paid.

Delicate Rose took a different path.

Offense is a lot better since Butler and Pau decided to ignore Hoiberg and do their own thing.

Oh if they'd only ignored Thibs during the Cleveland series. Those offensive outputs were horrific.
