Thibs won a playoff series with a lineup of:

Noah
Nate Robinson (Would have been out of the league if not for a non-guaranteed contract given to him by the Bulls)
Marco Bellenelli (Never a starter in this league)
Jimmy Butler
Carlos Boozer (Bum)

Marquis Teague also played significant minutes in a Game 7.

Thibs gets guys to play hard.

What happened that last season with the Bull?


We can't keep living off the playoff series against Brooklyn either. THey were on their 2nd coach and if I remember were missing one of their better players. They weren't that good of a team. This isn't Magic playing center in the NBA finals.

I'd still take Boozer in his first two years over the garbage that is Taj Gibson anyday. Bulls slide past two years has coincided with the ascension of Butler as best player (majority of board wanted) and Gibson's insertion into the starting lineup (also what majority of board wanted).

Gibson is garbage just like I'd always known.

Like I said. Peddling bullshit and contradicting himself all over without regard for facts. Sounds like someone we know.

Explain what happened during the last season? Don't hit me with the GarPax told them not to play hard crap either. Timberwolves also don't play that hard either. Their defense stinks.

I will admit that the Bulls played hard in the earlier years but Thibs was provided with too much credit for that. Deng, NOah, Butler, Bogans, Asik, Gibson, Brewer, Hinrich etc are guys that play hard regardless of the coach. They didn't need Tom Thibodeau for that.


They were never guys that needed to be coached on effort. How did his effort coaching work for Boozer? What about Korver whose defense stunk? Give Paxson credit ( which few on here ever do) for drafting guys that didn't need it.

If he was such a disaster then why did Phil Jackson resign him? He also finished 3rd in MVP voting one season. They made the playoffs 3 seasons after missing it for 12. You make statements but you never have any supporting details. He took teams to the playoffs a number of years by himself. If you think that is easy checkout the whining ass Jimmy Butler.

Anthony has never thrown teammates under the bus either. He will probably never win a championship but he will be in the hall of fame. That says something. He also will be regarded as one of the top three scorers of his era. You sound positively stupid for continuing to fight this fight. If your argument is simply no championships= bum then that is dumb and you really don't know anything about sports.

Interesting. What about the twenty times Anthony showed up George Karl during his years with the Nuggets? Remember "DON'T JUST SIT THERE!" ??

And Karl was much more competent than Hoiberg.

You ignore any supporting details like 7 playoff wins in 7 years.

I've explained this to you at least 5 times but it has nothing to do with lack of championships. It has to do with the virtual lack of any accomplishments at all outside of scoring numbers and getting votes for MVP.

He will have 7 total playoff wins in 7 years in New York. If I told you that would be true the day they traded for him you would have laughed at me for being so stupid.

Should we make a list of all the teams that have more than 7 playoff wins in the last 6 years?

Wade should be DBOTW. he came here for money not to win a title. now he's complaining.

Completely agree. He's also helped Butler take another step.

Its makes little sense to argue that a guy on his way to the Hall of Fame lacks accomplishments.

Nah. He was convinced to come here by his good buddy Butler. (Though admittedly they were never really that close)

Denver offered more money to Wade

Is it really any surprise that you'd be the one to redefine just what an accomplishment happens to be.

_________________

List his best accomplishments.

You can include Syracuse too. I was a big fan of his there and the first half of his NBA career.

wade always cares. remember last year? he carried that team and went way over expectations

he makes the game look easy for one, and on top of that he is a VERY smart athlete- he knows when he is hurt, and when hes hurt he knows he cant play reckless, which can make him look lazy at times.

but its not laziness. hes just doing what he can without jeopardizing the season.

notice he is also calling out the team at the point in the season they NEED to turn it around, or it's lost.

of course we wont get a ring this year... but i think everyone would be pleased with a 2nd round appearance.

but if we dont even make the playoffs, people will be pissed... wade and butler the most.

9 time all star

6 time All NBA.

Enough said on that.

Wade is like Jordan at the very end of his career. He can still do well in a halfcourt game, but he looks like Keith Traylor returning a fumble when he gets in an up and down game.
