Marc Stein and Bill Simmons on the Bulls 'dysfunction'
This is from this week's Bill Simmons podcast with Marc Stein. They got into some free agent talk, and Stein really hammers the Bulls front office as if it's common knowledge, and the once bullish Simmons agrees. Here's my best transcription: [getting off a discussion of Cavs failing to blow...
Sam Smith: Lay off VDN for saying Bulls have no Title shot
I thought the story (albeit minor) in VDN's radio interview hang-up Tuesday was just another instance of him seeming overwhelmed. Not being the fact that when asked about Rose's future role on a Championship team, VDN rhetorically asked if the Bulls had a championship squad right now 'with all...
Will Vinny survive the early schedule?
I somewhat downplayed the importance of Tuesday's release of the Bulls schedule. All NBA schedules are basically the same. As Bulls Confidential noted, the only variables are whether they play non-Central Eastern Conference teams 3 or 4 times, and while they play the Celtics 4 times they only get...
Bulls @ Heat GAMEDAY
Tonight the Heat will play a Chicago Bulls team that has won 3 of their last 4 and finds themselves suddenly all alone in the 8 seed. Since January 28th the Bulls have gone 11-5, and it’s no coincidence that Tyrus Thomas picked up his game around the same time. With the Bulls making a...
Bulls 120, Magic 102: Offensive! As in: awesome offense, offensive coach
Oh, Vinny. A little bit much with the post title, I agree. But to you first: The main problem with his over-reliance on the bench tonight wasn't as much this game in a vaccum, but what it could mean for future games, and especially future fourth quarters. This is because Vinny's already...
Pacers 98, Bulls 91: Forgot to trade Vinny
This is the difference when the Bulls coach actually has to coach: In a game on Friday where the Bulls only had 8 available players, they won handily against a very good Denver Nuggets team. On Sunday afternoon(hangovers can explain a lot of what happened today) Vinny had all sorts of shiny new...
In need of a zombie doctor
OK, you can take the following statement with as many grains of salt as needed coming from a guy whose highest level of organized ball was the Pacific Rim military base league, but answer me this: How in the hell is Vinny Del Negro an NBA coach? Watching the Bulls last night gave me a...
Locker room loss-reaction weirdness: and their worst players shall lead them
Kudos to blog-brother PeachTreeHoops for finding this paradox from the Bulls locker room after giving up 129 points to the Hawks on Sunday: In truly dysfunctional team news, Andres Nocioni: "It's personal, you know? Everybody needs to take the challenge. If we don't play 'D,' we will be out...
Not that I have interest in equal time, but some good things about Vinny:
As the site header has said for the past couple weeks, and as the last few posts have explained, I'm not overly thrilled at how the inaugural campaign of Vinny Del Negro has been going. That said, I'm not disapointed to the point to where he needs to be fired, or that his hiring was a mistake....
Cleveland Cavaliers 107, Chicago Bulls 93: Gimmicky Garbage
I am so frustrated watching this team, which has no plan from the highest levels of the organization to how they behave on the court. Reinsdorf bungles most things he touches, Paxson has no clue what to do with the roster except draft and stockpile more lottery picks, Vinny is completely...
