VDN has absolutely no clue. And now he is just being a jerk about it- firing back at Paxson through the media, taking no responsibility at all, and now throwing his players under the bus. I thought coaches are supposed to win before they can ever think about doing that. I am really hoping for the second straight year the Bulls miss the playoffs in the interest of the team’s future. VDN doesn’t deserve the respect of bringing the Bulls back into the playoffs. He needs to go this summer.

His incompetence is really starting to destroy mt brain cells and the foundations of reason as we know it.

I disagree with the full blame being on the coach, his main job is to be a motivator and then position the talent to best succeed…..

But I also don’t understand why at this stage after 2 years of this crap, there isn’t much blame placed on the roster….

I don’t even know exactly where the issue is with the roster….I mean we need players because we suck, but where’s our biggest hole?
We have a very good and emerging talent PG, backed with a very good backup (overpaid for his role, but he’s good).

We have a premier scorer in BG at the SG, who now can be backed with a very solid Salmons and at times the 2 PG lineup with the “combo” esque but still a PG Kirk.

We have Lu-yawn and Salmons at SF, 2 very good SF’s, even if Deng is underperforming, he’s still not a bad player, just not playing up to his past performance consistently or salary….but Salmons is pretty damn good.

We have Tyrus who finally is performing and his good play is being completely lost in our team consistency. Tyrus still misses defensive rotations from time to time, and it’s annoying to see him fight with a Bulls player for a rebound still…..maybe he’s more a team problem than he seems. What I see is a very eager kid who tries hard, does more little things right than wrong (esp of late) gets a little wild at times, but has a great demeanor on the court of late and seems excited to play and help contribute.

We now finally have a nice C tandem with Miller and Noah….

I know it’s easy because of this talent to just blame the coaching, but come on the players deserve something. How they can live with a loss as bad as yesterday is amazing…..if MJ was here he’d be calling out this team.

and i’m guessing its directed at Tyrus, Deng and BG. Just a guess though.

Frankly, I’m ready to see some of these guys go. Not one player on this team is as good as they think they are. We were worried about Amare’s attitude? We already have a bunch of less talented “amare’s” here.

they replayed the game on CSN this afternoon, and I have to say this quote was sort of taken out of context. He was asked if sometimes bringing new players in can create confusion and a lack of chemistry and lead to bad play at first and he said something like “No, i don’t think so. I don’t think that’s the case here. If guys were professional then that wouldn’t lead to bad play… blah blah blah.”

I don’t know if I explained it well enough, but it’s one of those things where he didn’t just come out and rant and it didn’t exactly sound like he was speaking of certain players, or even his players. Just saying that that suggested excuse was not an excuse for their bad play because they are professionals and professional ballers are too smart to let new players trip them up when winning is their ultimate goal.

Just felt like I should defend it… don’t really know why I’m bothering, but yeah.
