I almost started clapping for Vinny, making it harder to hide I’m not actually working

He has TV superstar written all over him.

...but what’s “top”?

Pax/ JR would have input on staff…translation: Myers/ Adams

He used the term “most qualified” to discuss his future staff.

Oh, Paxson’s love secrets will come out.

“clearly you wowed on the interview…what exactly did you say?”

Defensive resolve.

Wanted Thabo, Noah and Thomas.

Play fast and quick on offense, but not in a hurry. Will “obviously” play fast-paced. and will “obviously” be a challenge.

that these three got mentioned first and together

Somebody coined this already right?

Somebody has to pull the trigger on them. Derrick Rose, trigger man.

quite yet…

Defense

I’m sold too.

Holy cow. You mean, he wants them to like and respect him? Have a professional relationship and all that?

You should try, just don’t cover Mavs games…

Just ask the Bulls PR people. You might have to go throw the season ticket sales department first to get there.

And Kendal shouldn’t box anymore.

that was so irrelevant. We’re moving FORWARD…

And Vinny gave him a smirk.

Dude, it’s a decade later. Get over it. —so says VDN

to that…

What would that make Kukoc?

“what do you think about the Blues Brothers?”

The Ultimate coaching staff!

But hey let’s ask anyways,

And Pax with the chuckle!

and he starts with the “process” talk again

haha “there was a sense we didn’t know what we were doing.”

Man oh man this is pure gold.

Pax, turn it to Vinny again.

And philosophy.

This guy could be the CEO of GE or something.

Vinny should take them to Rosebud.

Make him GM too!

I think that feeling in my pants is indeed resonation..

Exactly what we need in a rebuilding year.

Once you’ve spent in Chicago where else is there to go?

Monumental jerk.

how about former Bulls who may or may not be interested in coaching?

Vinny what are you going to do to make Ben Gordon learn how to dribble?

Vinny will you teach Deng to not disappear against good teams?

Vinny will you tell Kirk Hinrich to stop being so sad?

and a bonus, he sounds EXACTLY like my sister’s fiance…

longer than the throw cucumbers at Paxson line.

he did better than those from a non-spanish station…

letting the fans down.

has a lot to do with that I’m sure…

before any other veteran on the team…

Paxson scatting on these media people?

Paraphrased…

“You know. We don’t disclose contract arrangements, but that report is just wrong.”

The Bulls’ PR wizards must be pounding their heads into the ground. Just say “the organization has no comment on contracts between the Bulls and its personnel.”

doesn’t count as 2 in Pax’s world…

- or do you mean -
“it’s sounds to me that there won’t be a trade?”

Either way, Devin47 is correct. And there will be a trade… at least one.

Kirk needed a few more hugs. You couldn’t tell?

Wasn’t Joakim the guy who asked for more practice and the coaches didn’t know what to do?

That’s honest. I’m used to just Pax-speak.

they will actually get film and extra coaching. Amazing. Playbooks even.

dats what i said

That there is no legit answer to when the guy has no coaching experience.

I didn’t know Vinny would make a run himself.

“Alright Vinny, you got a 20 second time out, down by 2, ball at half court, what’s the play? Go!”

will have the whole thing available later.

bulls.com

didn’t have a process on how to end press conferences

the sports radio shows where they’ll ask inane questions.

No more easy articles on how cheap Reinsdorf is and how dumb Paxson is. Oh and don’t forget missing the boat on Gasol/KG/Kobe!

I feel much better about this now. And he seemed to say everything that I assume the players would want to hear.

Except… I have coaching experiance.

would get together with all the players and get started on their summer programs so they should have an idea of what he expects from them.

Doesn’t Del Negro literally mean “The Black” or “Of The Black”.

Either way that alone should inspire fear in opposing coaches.

...I forgive Paxson for the decision. Vinny sold me.

And he played w/ Hughes in Golden St.

basically sayin they were targeted in the Suns camp…nobody else though

He said we were trying to get Ben Wallace back and Larry Hughes will be manning the backcourt by himself… Sorry, couldn’t resist.

a defensive approach. Specifically named Thabo, Tyrus and Noah as ‘parts’ of that approach.

yeah, he basically did say that…

than have him say, “We’re going to evaluate the roster, then we’ll go from there.” He won’t have to absorb assistant coaches just because Jerry likes a guy. At least, I hope not.

at least better than Shaq would/did.

You’re screwed getting to Deerfield

It’s only going to be a replay.

He has a good (although not great) offensive game to go along w/ pretty good defense. Thomas and Noah have the potential to be very multi-dimensional, but aren’t there yet. Thabo? Not so sure.

It’s only a press conference. He’ll be judged (most likely harshly) on his actions during the season I’m sure.

I would rather have a coach who says all the right things, and then tries to do all the right things… and fails, than a some retread who just tries to fit our roster into his regular cookie cutter philosophy.

And for our purposes the right things are, develop and teach our players, play to the strengths of the roster, focus on defense, adapt and grow as the team changes…

And he said all the right things there.

He said “I’m not a Magician.”

Beat me to it I see :)

He probably realize’s that he sucks. I’m wondering how Hughes will respond to his former teamate now being his head coach.

Then again, I’m not sure it matters how the fifth best guard on our team reacts to the new coach.

every possible thing I would have wanted him to. If he implements his plan and the players respond to him, it should be one helluva ride to watch these guys develop and grow as a team. Now, if only it were that easy…

This team is only a season removed from winning 49 games with a point differential normally associated with a 55 win team. Much of the core from that team is still intact and at least returning to their 06-07 performance levels isn’t entirely out of the question. It would be silly to expect too much from Rose. All the team really needs is for him and Hinrich to combine to outperform what Hinrich and Duhon did at PG during 06-07. Again, within the realm of possibility. Throw in that the Bulls should get much better production out of their front court with Thomas, Noah and Gooden than they had out of Wallace, Brown, and Allen. Maybe Vinny’s press conference got me too jacked up, but even barring any other moves outside of drafting Rose, I see 50 wins and third in the East as realistic expectations.

Only because he kept saying “I’m not a magician.”

Where can I find coverage of said injury? I know the Tribune, Sun-Times, Score, ESPN 1000, bums on the Red Line won’t have analysis of the Cubs, where to turn?

when I saw “Bull” in its title.

I don’t think it’s the Dr. J. Mark Stein said something about Reinsdorf using the team psychologist to evaluate candidates.

Google is your friend.
