ESPN Bulls BEAT reporter telling it like it is today. Saying that Jimmy is liked by nobody in the locker room, same with D Rose, Noah is pissed and guys are expecting someone (Gasol?) to be traded at this point creating a defeated atmosphere.

Cant remember the last time a guy who spends day after day with a team be that honest about the current situation of a team. Usually coated with bOOshit of "communication needs to improve" or "Usual issues, not a big deal"

Was direct and blunt. Well played.

Cowley on WSCR is similarly going after guys. Really took Noah down a peg. Chicago sports media is smelling blood.

You can tell Butler is completely unlikeable.

Even Swirsky is showing signs of telling it like it is about this team.

Stacey King also deserves a shoutout, calling for guys (Rose) to be benched for lack of effort.

Did Swirsk say anything else, or do you mean during the game?

During the game, ripping (for him) Rose's shooting percentage.

Perdue was even negative, but in the PC way of "things not going well" and he did drop the theory of a team playing to the personality of the coach. Which if you see that through, not great.

Ever been on a work project where you just don't give a fuck and are just cashing a check? (Every work project I've ever been on, personally) You know that one guy who gives a shit and how annoying he is? Like he "wants to do a good job" or something?

Butler is that guy. And everyone on the Bulls is chilling collecting that fat NBA dough and banging babes on the road. The hick coach is scared of his players and probably wishes he was back in Iowa.

Butler seems like he'd be annoying even if you did care.

Like I said originally,Butler should be benched for one game. I would never put up with any lip from anybody as a HC. Butler thinks because sometimes he puts up 23 points in a game,he's something special. I think he is a very good player but he is no superstar. Hoiberg needs to reign this shit in and show everybody who the new Sheriff is.

- If you never "put up with any lip," you'd never make it as a head coach in any sport

- it's "rein," not "reign"

- reining in so as to show there's a new sheriff in town creates a strange horse-racing/law-enforcement mixed metaphor
