B/c even if he doesn't contribute offensively, he's a presence on defense

PLUS he gets deflections/steals and blocks. But down the stretch when Brad’s in and we can’t seem to stop ATL from scoring, Brad will assume we just couldn’t make shots.

If the other team outscores you, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done on offense.

I agree, I don’t normally bash VDN but this was on him. The small lineup made no sense against the Hawks. Also, I don’t understand why he sat Rose and Deng so long to start the 4th, step outside of the box.

Miserable 4th

Tyrus just HAS to play more if he’s the only big coming off the bench! I get some level of logic in not playing him if they’ve already decided he won’t be back IF the other bigs are healthy. But as long as Jo’s out, Vinny can’t play Brad like this.

Miller played 40 MINUTES????

I’m just going to repost a comment I made in the other thread:

It just dawned on me why TT doesn’t get minutes on this team

VDN distributes minutes based solely on decision making, but only on the offensive end…..never mind actual production. Derrick lost his man 4 or 5 times in the first half. Brad and Taj couldn’t defend the paint or grab a defensive rebound if a $1M bonus was riding on it.

Yes, TT does take occasional ill-advised shots and has some bad TOs, but its this reason and this reason alone that outs him on the bench while Brad/Taj get the minutes. Taj is good at doing absolutely nothing on offense…which is to say, he doesn’t make bad decisions, but he also doesn’t do anything substantial either to contribute.

Probably planned it all along. Rose surprised them w/ his Progress. Dumbasses gave Gordon away for nothing. Maybe hoping for another good lottery draft pick to play with Rose. I don’t trust cheap Bulls management with Trades or free agency.

Its embarrasing to watch a poorly coached team at the NBA level

The thing is…..the one element of Pax’s drafting philosophy (getting guys from winning programs) seems to be the saving grace b/c the guys care and seem to keep playing hard for this guy.

I can’t imagine why a max FA would want to come here if VDN is still the coach. I know money talks, but the desirable guys are at the point where they also want to win…well maybe STAT cares more about the money, but still.

We aren’t getting anybody if they (GarPaxDorf) don’t do something about the coach.

Vinny Del Negro is a piece of shit.

In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).

Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.
