Nothing every works out for us. I guess it will be the same every year with the owners we have that have no intrest in basketball. Just money

Although D'Antoni wasn't the end all be all, it'll surely be a blow to the fanbase, especially the casual Bulls fans.

What would the Bulls org do without us die hards???

The Bulls has become a joke of the NBA again.

Where is the accountability?

back to being a boring team.
I have a soft spot for tall, skinny, athletic big men who have little offensive game.

I agree. This franchise is jacked. And it's all because of money. Sox miss out on Miguel Cabrera cas they wouldn't take Dontrelle Willis (money), and now they miss out on a coach who fits what we need best because of money.

Watch!!!

We are going to hire Thibo for 2 mil/yr. At the press conference, we are going to see how Paxson and the organization spin this into a great fit and hire.

GO **** YOURSELF!

Hey, at least he's going to the Knicks. It'll be a minimum of 2 years before they make any kind of noise anyway.

of course he did. Because the Knicks showed him unconditional love on bhis ideas, while the Bulls D'ed around acting as if they know how to win ballgames and D'Antoni needs their help changing his ways. If the Bulls have proven anything lately, its that they know how to win big.

I'm growing to hate this franchise and admin so much. Reinsdorf should sell
