The last two games of the regular season should have been games for the Bulls to rest key players in order to make a run in the playoffs. Even though they probably won’t even get out of the first round, all I ask out the teams in any sport that I root for, is to have the best possible chance to win. If they lose simply because they were beaten by a better team, so be it. However, when they lose because of stupid decisions by the players or coaches, then that’s another thing.

ThomASS Thibodeou is an example of losing because of his stupid decisions. The last two games of the season, he thought it would be a good idea to play Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson instead of keeping them off the court until Saturday. Instead, more wear and tear were put on their bodies. The Bulls are limping into the playoffs instead of being 100% healthy. That’s just music to my ears.

What happened to Kobe Bryant was just a matter of time. Kobe was second in the NBA in minutes played (Right between Luol Deng and Joakim Noah). What happens? He tears his achilles tendon and will probably miss all of next year. The worse out of this is that his career could be over too. I use to hate this guy but as I’ve become older, I’ve respected him especially after he won his last two titles without Shaq. In short, Derrick Rose tore his ACL and won’t be the same again because he played too many minutes and played in meaningless minutes. Joakim Noah keeps having flare ups of plantar fasciitis in his foot. He probably won’t be the same again either. That leaves Luol Deng who has had his fair share of injuries in the past and who knows, he may very well be injured in this playoff series.

No Derrick Rose. Noah and Deng will probably be limping around after the first couple of games along with Taj Gibson. Well, maybe if ThomASS could be a half-assed coach, they may give the conference a run for it’s money. But he’s not. He will continue to run his players into the ground.

Regardless if Derrick Rose comes back or not (don’t bet on it), Nets in six. Fire Tom Thibodeou.

…And there he is. Lovie Lee Smith on my television the second I change it to ESPN around 2:30 today. He has become an “analyst” for NFL Live. As I type this, he is discussing the draft.

Nice to see ESPN finally hiring some smart people who know a lot of about football.

Bulls playoff article coming the next day or so. Back to work I go.

For you fake wrestling fans, a new article is up at Falls Count Anywhere.

Some things to talk discuss here:

1. Bulls continue to slide. Joakim Noah may be out for the season thanks to ThomASS and his way of handling players. Foot problem? No problem! Just rest up for two days and go right back out there to play against the Pistons. Now I know why everyone else is hurt.

Enjoy watching your team exit the first round Jerry Reinsdorf. Don’t worry about the coach you allowed Gar/John to hire so he can ruin everyone else’s career. Don’t hold anyone accountable. Don’t fire anyone (because they are your friends!). Just sit there and continue collecting your cash. You. Fucking. Hack.

2. Two weeks from now, the Bears will be on the clock in the draft. What position should they go for first?

Anything else you want to talk about, you can as well.

Well, I must say, watching the Bulls is beginning to be pure comedy. The Bulls, for the second time this season, lost to the 28-win Wizards on Tuesday night. Unlike the first game where the Bulls just weren’t in the game at all, they decided to piss the game away in the second half. The shitty play started happening in the second quarter and during this time, I was picturing Wizards head coach Randy Wittman telling his players the following: Guys. Let’s take a deep breath here. We have the Bulls right where we want them…with them up 10. We’ve seen this before when they’ve played other teams. If we just get a couple baskets here, they’ll fall apart before we know it.

Well, lesson learned. Late in the fourth quarter, Kirk Hinrich decided to meet his quota of doing something stupid every few weeks by taking not one, but two technical fouls in a row, thus leading to an ejection. Then, in the last two minutes of this game, both Jimmy Butler and Nate Robinson missed two free throws each to seal the deal and a total of five was missed on the night. What was the difference in the game? Four points.

Before someone who doesn’t watch sports comes here (Irish Yeti), let me clarify that I do realize that the Bulls cannot win every game. It’s the law of average so to speak. I expect them to lose to teams like the Spurs, Thunder or some other team but for crying out loud, when they can’t beat the Wizards, Bobcats or Kings, you know they are bad.

But hey. I am not a genius. I just watch the games like everyone else. The Bulls are inching even closer to that glorious, .500 record. Too bad the season is about to wrap up because if there were more games, .500 looked pretty realistic. The Bulls will be playing the Pacers or Nets in the first round, where they will promptly, lose in six games. Write it down and in a month, we’ll see who’s correct. If I am wrong, it means the Bulls lost in seven games. My bad if that happens.

Fire Tom Thibodeou.

Bears and Bulls talk coming up in the next week.

Until then, the floor is yours.

Well, Cinderella is going to the big game. That would be #4 Susannah Collins out of the Irish Yeti Region as she took down her co-worker and Chucky Region winner, the #3 seed Jen Lada by a final score of 18-16. #3 Cheryl Scott of the Mad City Mac Region edged out the powerhouse and #1 seed out of the Jimmy D. Region, Erin McElroy 19-16. It’s #3 Cheryl Scott vs. #4 Susannah Collins Friday. The prize? The first and only, Larry Horse trophy. Picture is below.

See you folks there.

Before the ThomASS defenders come by to make themselves look like morons, the Bulls have beat the Heat twice this year. Don’t get me wrong. It was great finally seeing those turds lose a game. However, in this latest game, the Bulls, once again, nearly blew it, especially in the final minute by turning the ball over and missing free throws (Nate Robinson). Both teams missed crucial free throws that could have made the difference but the Bulls prevailed. That being said, this doesn’t make up for any of the other shitty games they have played this season and lost. This includes a 42-point ass kicking by the great Sacramento Kings.

Check the “Reasons To Fire Tom” on the right side of the homepage. Two wins over one team doesn’t make up for the shitty losses to numerous teams this season. The Bulls will be lucky to make it out of the opening round. Does anybody else realize that the reasons why players like Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah didn’t play in this game? It’s because the head coach of the team doesn’t know how to take care of his players.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

P.S. LeBron James is still a dick bag.
