Rose is back in the lineup for the Bulls tonight. However, Taj is kill for tonight. Chicago hopes to somehow look to win the rest of their games to get to the playoffs.
On the flipside, Grizzlies look to break a 6 game losing streak and not somehow miss the playoffs.
Coverage starts 8:00PM EST, 7:00PM CST. Game's on WPWR in Chicago, and FSSE in the Memphis area.
First for fuck Rose
cmon bulce
Going to sound like a complete dick here, but I'd really like for the Bulls to not make the playoffs and for Hoiberg to get fired because well he's a shit coach and always will be.
Also, fuck Hoiberg. That is all
>>66618263
>implying they won't give him one more chance
>>66618274
>This will happen because idiocy
>>66618263
When's the last time a brand new NBA head coach got canned in his first season?
honestly just here until curry hits 13 threes tonight
>>66618297
yes
>>66618303
what are you doing in this thread then?
>>66618334
no UFC fights tonight
>>66618302
If Cleveland hadn't made the finals last year Blatt would have been canned. NBA teams are too impatient/dumb with their coaches these days
>>66618346
I'm surprised you're not watching the Piston/Heat game. It's nationally televised.
>>66618376
I'm still under the idea that LeBron got him fired like how Howard got SVG canned by the Magic.
>>66618422

>Bulls
>Hawks
>Sox
It begins
I genuinely believe it's not Fred's fault 100%. Everyone is too blame. Players don't play with heart anymore, they don't communicate, they don't run for the loose balls. It's only a couple players playing hard.
Over/Under 15 minutes of game time for Rose.
>>66618507
cute birb
>>66618303
How is that fun to watch?
You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can’t get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can’t even stick his ass into people and get more than that…Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward.

>>66618558
i've got the 80s lakers/celtics recorded on VHS don't tell me what's fun
>>66618529
Yes and why is that happening? Because nobody wants to play for Berg's shit system. It's the players trying to send a message to the organization that unfortunately won't go through.
>>66618563
what's his name?

Michelle Girodino's
>this fucking guy by the mic
>>66618722
I'm starting to think that's the Memphis head coach.
>>66618445
That's exactly how it happened, only Dwight is a dumbass and everyone knew it was his fault. Lebron's a lot smarter than that. The Cavs actually didn't know Lebron was returning and hired Blatt, if they had known they would have hired Lue or Mark Jackson.
pic related.
>>66618722
black cheerleader was worse at bucks game
Do bulls still have chance of playoffs?
>>66618676
They may look better but you can tell the chemistry is not all there anymore like it was the past few years. That's just the vibe I've been catching this season, judging from their collective inconsistency and individual post-game thoughts/interviews.
>>66618529
Anything that's Zoidberg's fault is more the fault of the front office for hiring him
>Lets fire our experienced successful workaholic coach who knows how to handle a team filled with egos, veterans, and injury prone players
>Lets replace him by throwing a rookie coach with absolutely no prior NBA experience into the lion's den and expect him to create a championship team
Zoidberg is not the one to blame he's just trying to get established, its the people who hired him.
>>66618793
statistically yes
realistically maybe
>>66618812
not realy sure how a coach can fix chemistry I think that's a player thing. Some discipline should help
>>66618793
yes
>>66618793
This is a must-win game. They still have a chance. Does it matter in the long run? Course not, they'll never beat the Cavs.
>>66618793
Unless the Pacers or Pistons choke, no.
If they both choke, Bulls get 7th seed and face the raptors round one. That's gonna be a sight to see.
>>66618874
Canada wouldn't be able to recover lol
never seen this
what's happening?
Spaghetti filled game. Niko needs to talk to Bruce so he can get his weight up.
Dixieland Delight!
Can we fire hoidburg and rehire thibs? I miss thibs
aaron brooks who he play for
Here comes the Rose takeover
>>66619219
more like refball
Bulls plz! #Pray4playoffs
>>66619105
The bulce will never again have a coach as good as mr. thibs.
>>66619261
it's OK he looks healthy and rested now
Hawks scarred if anyones wondering
>>66619293
That's because he has relaxed his vocal cords.
>>66619315
thanks fambam
>tfw the Bulce might actually lose to the Grizz
Would the Grizz want to be in the playoffs to begin with? Isn't Gasol kill?
Niko is killin it
>>66619386
Grizz have picked up 22 different players off the street. They are almost as cursed as the Timberwolves.
Butler shitting himself
>they could have had westgod
do the Bulls even want to get to the playoffs?
>>66619453
literally the anti-rose
didn't miss a single game until he was deliberately injured
I'm not seeing Jimmy taking a lot of shots, and the ones he is taking, he's missing. If the Bulls refuse to play defense and can't get him going, their only hope if to have Niko/Doug/Mike jack up threes or to have Gasol take that mid-range jumper for the rest of the night. I miss Thibs so much
What's the most meme NBA team?
>>66619569
Go back to the hawks thread
Scarred again :^)
Bulls getting lucky so far, they should be down by more than 10 at the rate Randolph is scoring
>>66619569
Pelicans
>Hoidberg defense
How much longer do we have to suffer through a halftime show of a tortured dog catching a frisbee?
Chicago has to come back and win this game matter of fact they have to win all their games if, they want the 8th seed at this Detroit is losing right now to Miami. And if they bulls don't win this there done after this.
>>66619851
I'm rewatching the 1996 NBA draft to pass the halftime, since it never gets old.
Who here still hopeful?
>>66619745
>Pelicans
>just lost to the 76ers
R.I.P. New Orleans
>>66619943
I bullieve
I think Butler cooled down since he knows D Rose is playing.
>>66619953
F
>>66619943
I try to be, but it's difficult without Joakim Noah on the floor, a coach that doesn't care about defense, and a toxic front office.
>>66619943
not me, but now theres boreball, plus the hawx
>>66618563
>Fuck you.
Post yfw we miss the playoffs but win the lottery and draft Simmons
>>66620040
bwahahahahaha
>>66620040

>nba worthy
why would you ever want that burnout on your team
>>66620040
still a gamnble
>>66620040
womt matter with fred, team will still be a disorganized, soft garbagefire
Is Derrick Rose ignoring Butler? I feel like there might be some egos colliding rn
>>66620134
D. Rose needs a career ending injury, he's nothing but an over priced burden on the bulls at this point
>Derrick Blows
>>66620134
No clue, but one thing that is self evident is that when Rose plays good, Butler doesn't. And when Butler plays good, Rose doesn't. I can count the amount of games this season when both of them had great games together on one hand.
>>66620184
he already had one - his career is over
he's just a bum collecting checks now
damn Moot's angry
>>66620134
rose ignores everyone, he is a terrible point guard
>>66620219
Wat
>Vince Carter finally shot back to back 3s
It's over.
>>66620242
how is vc not 40 yet?
>>66620213
I mean one where he stops stealing a roster slot so we can get a new point guard
>>66620231
He already has 4 fouls and it's obvious they're from frustration.

>>66620283
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for this front office to deliver a good player
RIP playoffs
Meanwhile the hawks scored again
I know this is pretty random, but shit like this wasn't happening while we had Luol Deng, who continues to be one of the most underrated players in the game. Until we fill the SF position like he did, either through draft or trade, the Bulls are fucked.
And Bulls are officially kill. At least baseball starts in about half an hour.
>>66620395
>>66620415
no identity right now no leader

dunleavy has been a huge waste of a roster spot this year
>missed first half of season with injury
>missed second half of season sucking ass
its a shame dougi3 cant play defense - would love to see him get more shots
>>66620466
seriously Moot Dunleavy regressed hard af

smhsmhsmh
Why is the coach so important, can't these negros play well without a slave master whipping them into shape?
>>66620574
Brazil bro what brings you out to this shitty neck of the woods?
Sox thread where?
>>66620576
the problem is that the assembled negroes are not good enough. the coach is a minor problem, the bigger problem is the general management
>getting blone out by a team that lost 6 in a row when you're fighting for your playoff lives
>>66620667
Already up.
>>66620548
>>66620685
Wonderful
>>66620673
Sounds like the 2016 bulls alright.
Hawks score again.
>>66620673
>when you're fighting for your playoff lives
what position do I play?
>>66620576
>can't these negros play well without a slave master whipping them into shape?
clearly no they can't. this is what happens when you dont have a slave master coach like Thibs. remember in the preseason when all the players were talking about how much they loved Zoidberg's laid back style? Thibs might seem like an asshole but he got results every year he was here. first year without him and they're actually going to miss the playoffs. inconceivable.
>>66620729
losing in the playoffs is not "getting results". stop glorifying regular season #1 seeds when they lead to despair and nothingness
>>66620639
thought bulls would pull a good game since they have to win
I quite like gasol since the 2008 olympics
>>66620773
THIBS > HOIBERG
team loses thibs and takes a major step backwards
>somehow you dont think this is the sign of shit tier coaching
>>66620850
notice I said nothing about hoiberg in my post, I was only pointing out that Thibs wasn't that great in the big picture. He only looks like a god now because hoi is so shit
>airball
Hack this motherfucker down
WE GOT THIS BULLS LETS GOOOO
>>66620773
this team talent wise is almost exactly the same as last season, only its even a little bit better. Thibs managed to take this team to 50 wins and the second round of the playoffs, while its this season its going to miss the playoffs and barely get 40. Thibs only fault was his terrible offensive scheme which resulted in stagnant iso play too often. its not really his fault that the Bulls had to play LeBron so many times, usually not at full health. nobody in the East has gotten past LeBron this decade, its more acceptable than straight up not making the playoffs at all
>>66620876
Thibs was an excellent coach
motivated a bunch of mediocre players to do well
not his fault the bulce dont have leflop or curry on the roster
>>66620876
thibs is bad because he couldnt turn chicken shit into chicken salad
hoiberg turned chicken shit into a giant ocean of vomit and piss
>>66620936
Ron Adams was an excellent assistant too
it's not a coincidence that Golden State improved dramatically when they hired Adams
Butler - 30 minutes, 0 points
where's the pride Jimmeh?

Just roll over and die.

um....?! he has 5 points
Shitcago does it again well it's all over.

now he does - way to pay attention

looks like we got a classic idiot here

are you completely retarded?
>>66621330
I'm rubber your blue
Gg Memphis
Gg season
Time for sweeping changes
We mid 2000s bulls again
>>66621365
I think you mean early 2000s. mid 2000s bulls made the playoffs
>>66621345
the time quoted & points were accurate
butler managed to score 5 garbage time points in his last 5 minutes of floor time once the game was long over
when the team counted on him he was invisible
>>66621365
we'll take butler off your hands, lad
This is some bullshit
Even though I'm certain we'd get eliminated in the first round even if the stars aligned and we somehow got into the playoffs
But i'm still disappointed. Can't they at least act like a competent team?
The fans and the city were promised a championship team. Where it at boys
>>66621403
Fuck.
>>66621453
You should know by now not to expect this city to keep any sports promises. Just lump the Bulls with the failures of the Sox and Bears and move on.
>>66621453
Died 2011. The Dream was done for after hearing the words, "On his knee, on his knee and down."
>>66621453
>>66621493
Until D rose leaves we will not see an NBA championship bro cap this
he inhibits Butler
>>66621562
Cheddar you've been saying the same thing for like a year now
>>66621453
If thibs was never fired then the Bulls would've at least been 3rd or 4th seed I'm sure but fuck what an embarrassment of a season for the Bulls they've given up at this point. They've had the same fucking roster for the past 5 years with very little changes and hoiberg is fucking shit up fire him and beg thibs to come back.
>>66621738
bringing thibs back isn't going to help the roster problem that you just pointed out
>>66621738
this will never happen
name a coach that has been rehired after a year of their termination
>protip: you cant
>>66621453
you won 6 championships, and the rose era is not likely to bring you another one. Had he not gone down you guys might have gotten one in 2011 but im sorry anon, its time to let go and start over from scratch.
