I can't stand Joe Cowley. But if he stands behind the stuff he's saying in this segment, the Bulls now concern me. Who knows. Anyone else listening?

Cant listen right now. What is he saying?

ripping on Rose
Ripping on Joakim
Both are trained specifically by Jen the Trainer

Says the only two guys on the team putting in a full effort in practice are Gasol and Butler

Says coach K got pissed at Rose during his time there due specifically to Jen the Trainer, had a Duke player as a source

Says the original Bulls trainer left this last year because his legs were being cut out from under him.

Lots of other stuff.

Who's Jen the Trainer? Is "Trainer" a code word?

You know me like that.

She is his life after basketball coach, she is there to make sure he doesn't get hurt so he can go to parent/teacher conferences.

Rose doesn't look right. At times, Joakim looks disinterested which isn't like him. I am attributing these lackluster games to Rose still getting his groove back and the grind of the regular season. But it's hard to believe a Thibs coached team is giving up 120 to a bad Magic team.

it appears no one is listening...

Jen is a trainer for the Bulls...she only works with Jo and Derrick.

Joe finished up by saying that the Bulls may need to ship someone out...couldn't hear if it was Tom or Jo...

That seems so strange compared to everything we have heard about Noah during his time here.

Whatever Thibs is selling, Rose has quit buying in for sure.

_________________

Agree wholly. You see it in Rose's comments in the papers. He is so flippant, "That's just Thibs." Rose could have owned this town, but the injuries and odd way with the media have hurt that potential. He is more Pippen than Jordan with the fans and media.

Here's Jen the Trainer. I think spmack would, but I will let him confirm.

so I assume KC Johnson has known about this for years and was just too afraid to break bad on the bulls to say anything.... he is almost at a ZZ level of bulls management stooge... except at least ZZ has a reason to not rip the team he covers ($$) whereas KC is employed by a different entity

Maybe he got some of Ike's weed.

maybe joakim feels like he is a fraud since he is the worst defender to ever win DPOY.... so he is sulking about it every time a big works him over in the post?

She's no Conchita Wurst.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

I assume you mean Conchita Wurst. Sorry though, she is already Greg's catch.

Is there any chance of trading Rose after this season? He just seems to be mentally weak

Call B&B and ask about that today

Bulls fire THibbs, then Cavs hire him and win title.

I think the knee is worse than he and the team are letting on. Maybe he is getting tired of Rose's act too.

He had zero interest in playing defense last night.

And his shot is so far off mechanically too. His first 3 point attempt totally missed iron.

_________________

I kept screaming, "stop shooting". Although I am always shocked when he hits those floaters. It's just that his jump shot is really bad. Gasol had no answers on defense either last night.

Vucevic took Gasol to school last night.

The funny thing is, the guys who are complaining about Rose and Noah rationing their efforts are the same people who complained that you can't win a championship by giving a max effort in January and lauding Popovich for holding his entire starting five out of games. Maybe Jen the Trainer would be a fetishized coach if she insisted Rose and Noah sat out the way Pop does.

Also, nobody complained about Tim Grover.

Don't take it personally.

I don't mind Joakim taking the rest of the regular season off. Just stop being on the fence about it. Sit if you're hurt, he's got a ton of mileage. Rose on the other hand does not have a ton of recent mileage and needs to play to get better.

They'd better start sitting Gasol. Immediately. These minutes will not end well.

Gasol was lucky that it was the CFB Championship night as well as the Garnett/Howard fight or else the Vucevic dong slapping would be talked about more.

If you need to sit, then do so.

If you are going to play, then try at least to act like you give a fuck about running an offense or playing defense.

The Spurs play when they are on the court.

_________________

I think people (including Rose himself) need to accept that he's never going to be the same player he was. His entire game was taking the ball to the rack with an unbelievable burst of speed. I can't see that coming back. The way he played was predicated on that step and he's lost a fraction of and that's just enough to make him the same as a lot of other guys he previously stood above. I still think he can be a poor man's Jason Kidd if he were willing to accept that. But instead he's chucking up terrible shots and refusing to defend.

But as far as the health issues and playing time are concerned, I think Jen the Trainer was brought in-house to prevent Thibs from playing Rose 48 minutes a game.
