Once again the same story since MJ left and they wanted a breakup of a team that didn't lose. What a shame

I mean it's his job to coach the team. Their game plan was terrible. If you're bad at 15% of your job that's still important although I agree team has bigger issues.

Well at least they get a lottery pick. In a projected terrible draft.

Of course, this is like winning the lottery in the Anthony Bennett draft

I don’t know why people were predicting confidently that the Bulls would win. This always seemed like a pretty likely loss even without Butler. They had a chance to win but the Heat are just a significantly more complete team with coaching and player roles.


I didn't. You can never trust this team. But this is lower than that. This is embarrassment. I would've been fine with a normal loss or close game loss, which was sort of my expectation.

Every time the Bulls underestimate a team they lose. They would have lost to the Pistons too. The Jimmy injury turned out to be a bad thing after all.

Players thought they would come out and beat Miami easily, this has been happening all year long.


At some point that has to be on the coach. Miami had no business winning this game from a talent standpoint, they're not athletic either, but they are just so much more cohesive as a team.

I can understand if it's a regular season game and the Bulls just underestimated an opponent, but wtf was this tonight??? An elimination game and you still play like ass?? It's bull

Phil Jackson is probably a top 5 coach of all time and he was never known as a statistical genius. He could get great players to work for the betterment of the team and won a ton of titles. Sometimes you get a coach like Thibs that's going to coach you hard for 82 games. Sometimes you want Billy to manage a "big 3".

The man has 11 titles. He is obviously at minimum a top 3 coach of all time.

But he won’t. There is no accountability with this franchise. They succeeded this year in their eyes by almost getting to the playoffs and have injuries as a built in excuse to justify why everyone is coming back.

I just really hope DeMar is just saying the right things when it comes to being open to an extension. It would crush the team to lose him but if he bails and goes to a winner but it will force the Bulls to actually do something different. Plus DeMar deserves to be a 6th man somewhere and contribute to a winner


Derozan can start for plenty of good teams. He isn’t the problem. The is just like Zach he is not a 1st option. Best as 3rd option.

People have knocked him from going from prime Jordan/Pippen to prime Shaq/Kobe.

The Bulls *would* win the worst draft lottery in recent memory


Someone from this draft will be a star. I have no faith AK would be able to identify him though.

Those Bulls and Lakers team had overwhelming talent but they also had a system. It's not an apple to apple comparison but if the Bulls aren't going to go the overwhelming talent part they need a coach who is going to get them in the optimal game plan. That just didn't happen today.

Still better than sweep against Boston. I couldn’t care less about the experience for Coby or Ayo. Neither will ever lead us anywhere. Coby is a 3rd option and Ayo is decent starter. Our roster is garbage.

Highly doubt another coach could handle those egos like he did.

Yeah the last couple of weeks I was hoping for the lottery pick. Still mad at the loss but I'd much rather have 11 than 15 even in a horrible draft.
