If only we had an offensive minded coach who was able to mold all of this 'talent' the flawless front office has acquired.

Kevin McHale is available

Speaking of which it's kind of odd he hasn't been on ESPN to make some sarcastic quips about the Rockets or whatever.

Part of his innovative offense that will change the fortunes of the Bulls. Also needs Jimmy Butler out there who's hurting for 40 minutes a game.

They have no offensive system. Hoiberg doesn't have any Juco transfers to bail him out.

If only John Paxson thought he could take Thibs in a fight. Then he might have only Choked him out and let him coach out his contract.

no the Rockets need to hire him for the Durant recruiting angle, then miss out on Durant and keep him in order to make the team maximum unwatchable

They pretty much had to part ways with Thibs because that relationship was so toxic but hiring college coaches is dumb unless they are Brad Stevens

Suns were up 16 with 8:25 left in the 4th. Managed to throw that all away and lose the lead with 2 minutes left. Get back the lead by 2, have possession with 23 seconds left, and... turn it over with 19 seconds left.

Andre (38% FT shooter) goes to the line at 14 seconds and hits them both to tie. Suns can't make the shot, so the game goes to OT.

I don't know if I want to watch the OT.

Give me Thibs and a new Front Office plz. Hire Matt Lloyd to be the GM(as he was the one who was head scout when Niko, Butler, and Gibson were drafted(i.e the only good picks this vaunted Bulls FO has made, Since he's left their drafts have been trash)

Bulls FO has been coasting off his drafts drat near half a decade now.

Welp... Suns continue to be unable to score for more than half the OT.

This team should be so much better than they are so far this year.
