bulls games gonna be even more low scoring

[westcoastO]

only thing that bothers me is he's never been a head coach. but you have to start somewhere i guess. just hope the bulls don't cut the leash too short.

10 of his last 15 teams coached were in top 10 league defense in the nba.

yep, a team with no GM and no head coach as of now.

bulls a little more stability at this point, but we'll see.

certainly not saying the bulls are the favorites by any means, but you're almost making it like this hiring seals the bulls chances at getting him, don't really get that.

boozer needs to get himself going. if you need motivation to win at home in the playoffs playing with the mvp of the league on a 62 win team then you need to quit playing basketball

if the guy spent less energy screaming after every rebound and more on playing defense and going up trying to finish instead of trying to get fouled, we'd be in a much better spot than down 0-1 and having doubts

its not like the guy hasn't been the #2 option on a conference semi-final or conference final team before. i know his toe is bothering him but he's had a shit ton of time now where he hasn't had to play, or give maximum effort, or even minimum effort. rose has sprained the same ankle twice and his body has absorbed a lot more mileage this season than boozers no matter what anyone says. time to play like you want it, not play 1 good playoff game out of 6.

Maybe he should start the game on the bench. He is to the Bulls offense what a slow runner is to the offense of a baseball team..base clogger. He drops passes, gets in foul trouble quickly and bemoans almost every call, as if he is never at fault.

IMO... Bulls are going out of their way to get him jump started and so far, it ain't happening.
