I’ve been meaning to get to this for a while, but it’s been fairly busy here. The Bulls won’t get two days off in until next week. It would be nearly a full month of games in which they either play every other day, or back-to-back. And we’re seeing the effects.
Poor shooting, dead legs and sloppy play is plaguing the Bulls. Last week, they lose to the Jazz. That game, they couldn’t throw the damn ball into the ocean. Then, they go to Washington and lose again. But what pissed me the most is the fact that Jimmy Butler is still playing 40-something minutes each damn game. And with the loss against the Jazz, the game was over at halftime. Yet, with five minutes to go in the game and the Bulls down 25, ThomASS still has the starters playing. Are you fucking kidding me?
With a month straight without two full days off, any smart coach would do whatever they can to make sure that players are rested and ready. No player on that team should play more than 38 minutes each game. And some should even take nights off. Ultimately, the playoffs are what matter.
Oh, Joakim Noah is hurt again. He’s still playing but his knees are starting to wear down. That’s what happens when you have surgery because your dumbass head coach ran you into the ground.
Same shit. Different year. And for the record, I’ve been right, for the most part, all of these years. I said the Bulls would be ousted in the first or second round. The same will happen this season, regardless of how healthy Rose is.

The Bulls are in a fight for second-fourth place with the Wizards and Raptors. The Hawks are in first by four games. If they are in the West, they are fighting for fifth/sixth. I highly doubt they get the first seed. If they actually do, maybe they get to the second round.

JImmy Butler minutes/game: 39.8
Pau Gasol minutes/game: 34.6
Might as well enjoy the regular season while it lasts.

Gasol has actually been fine in the minutes. Surely, a game off here and there would be helpful. But, as you said, Butler is leading the league in minutes. Even LeBron has two less minutes, per game. The average needs to be around 35/36.

Hey, guess what? Those lousy Bulls are about to lose the Orlando Magic. The same Orlando Magic that, going in, are 13-27. After this, they will achieve win #14!
Oh, the Bulls missed nine free throws in this game, including the previous two by Joakim Noah.
And last, but not least, Butler played 42 minutes. Watch out, NBA. The Bulls are bringing the trophy home.
PATHETIC.
January 12, 2015 at 9:28 pm
Oh, I am sorry. Butler played 43 minutes. Seriously, can the Bulls please hire an actual head coach who knows how to take care of his players?

Gasol isn’t a spry young man anymore. He will not last till May playing those minutes. I swear fucking ThomASS wants to win every single goddamned game. Someone needs to tell this idiot that in order to win the war, you must lose a couple of battles along the way.
January 14, 2015 at 12:07 pm
Oh, you just wait. Tonight, it’s Bulls/Wizards again. ThomASS went off on the team the other day. But what he doesn’t realize is that it’s not just the players acting like idiots with all of the turnovers, it’s him playing his players too many minutes. Just like the Bears, it’s a complete effort from both, coach and players. And that results in abject failure.
Tonight should be a treat.

Wizards – 105
Bulls – 99
I love being right. I also know that it doesn’t take a genius to know that the Bulls are an awful group of guys coached by an awful head coach.

But….but….but, Fro…..Bernstein thinks Thibodeau is a GREAT coach! One of the best…….EVER!!!!!!
You need to listen to him more. He’s a GAWD!!!!!!!!
January 15, 2015 at 7:29 am
OK, I admit it. Typing that made me hurl on my screen.
January 16, 2015 at 9:40 pm
Fro E’twaun Moore and Cameron Bairstow are both garbage players. Bairstow is a Power Forward and Nazr Mohammad is a center. Are you honestly telling me that you would play those two over Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah, Nikola Mirotic, and Taj Gibson? Pau’s minutes will decrease a little more as Nikola continues to develop. As for E’twaun Moore, he is a guard, and we already have Derrick Rose, Aaron Brooks, Jimmy Butler, and unfortunately Kirk Hinrich. Jimmy Butler is the only one on this team playing too much minutes, but when Mike Dunleavy and Doug McDermott get back they should help bring his minutes down to an acceptable level. I just want it to be clear, your not asking the Coach to play backups, your asking him to play third string players, when your able to play healthy and talented backups.

Wow. Just……wow.
January 17, 2015 at 10:22 pm
Chucky, just don’t waste your time with this fucking hack. He obviously doesn’t understand that sometimes, a team has to play the backups to rest the starters. Apparently, three guys out of the lineup (Noah, Dunleavy, McDermott) isn’t enough for ThomASS to actually go to his bench.
By the way Abdallaha, it’s “you’re”, not “your”. Good Lord. Some may say I am the worst. No. You have that title. You are the worst.

Fro…..there is someone else now who just made the mistake of pissing me off. And he’s been around here for awhile now.
