Thibs as GM isn't batting 1.000 but getting Butler and signing Taj were really good moves. Crawford has been a nice get and I think Teague has been plenty solid. Going all out for Bazz is where he screwed up. There are guys out there right now they could sign if they want to and it may come to that soon.

We lost to a team missing 2 of there max players and lost 11 straight

Chandler isn't that much of a factor. Meanwhile Tyreke Evans is playing like a very expensive player but he was signed very cheap. Regardless it's a disappointing loss and the way it went down at the end with Memphis basically letting us have it the last couple minutes was pretty sad.

Got to make my point look better ;). But I am starting to change my tune, I do think a lot of it is on the players but we don't even run shit down the stretch. Didn't use a use it or lose it timeout with a gassed team. Both plays out of timeouts were iso where there wasn't even action to get an easy bucket.

It's super frustrating. We were in the bonus with 8 minutes to go and shot 2 free throws the rest of the way (and the foul was way away from the basket).

This is a god damn dumpster fire. Seriously this is just disgusting all around. Terrible coaching, terrible player movement and a set of three god damn guys trying to get theirs.

Set runs like this.

Karl gets the ball, karl can score and shoots some guarded jumpshot cuz he needs his.
Butler same. Wiggins you guessed it.

Coaching is outright unacceptable.

Im sick of the these guys are tired bs too. You see what michael jordan averaged per game? Im sick of the god damn excuses ever damn game. It never ends. Cant wait to hear thibs damn we got to get better crap again. Lets take a look at the film so i can sit on my thumb and see if our guys can isolate and win one on 5. I hate this team. Thibs just said in his after interview that he thought they had ball movement. Oh my god. And he also thinks they got good shots. What the fuck game was he watching. This is so far off the rails its unbelieveable.

I thought you were a little harsh last night after a win. Your rant tonight is justified.

(Did Thibs really say we got good shots? Uhhhhh, not at all. There was one good shot in the last 5 minutes and it was a wide open dunk).

I thought that was your angle I mostly had to give Evans props the guy is really playing well and I have dogged him plenty over the years and I think he has deserved it.

Knowing what we know about Thibs do you think he was happy with all those jumpers? I bet he was not happy.

If Thibs was referring to the game as an entirety than I would agree with him. There was good ball movement and good play getting guys good looks. Down the stretch obviously no.

Yuck.

Nothing else new to add (and I didn't even read the thread). It's obvious.

Not fun to watch.

Apparently, Butler has his hand heavily wrapped leaving the arena.

Yeah reporter asked him how if he thought the ball movement was a problem tonight citing the 17 assistsbthe entire game and he said no they had excellent ball movement. Just didnt make shots of course. Got good shots and just didnt knock them down apparently. I literally think thibs may be delusional. I was worried when bulls fans were saying how terrible he was. This is like watching groundhogs day. How can he actually think this is a good product and its heading the right direction? I just dont get it. I have literally watched every game this year and i think i get more upset with each one. This team is severely underperforming. I see butler leaving as soon as his contract is up. This has disaster written all over it.

I expected times like this this season and honestly expected things to start off more slowly than they did. As long as this team can avoid any losing streaks longer than 2-3 games they will be alright for this season. Every team has to make some adjustments as the season goes along and that does include the coaching staff. I'm pretty frustrated but I don't think it's jump off a ledge time both for this season and beyond. Thank goodness we are over .500 already.
