I disagree. U don't goto the finals with a coach that took u there and than fire him cuz the players don't like him for his relationships and than come out and lay an egg. Just goes to show they are all about themselves and their own egos.

Personally as a Cavs fan, the entire blame isn't on Blatt. He was just the worst person to have at the helm for what the real problem is. This team is full of fucking pussies. Taj Gibson is tougher than MOZGOV, LOVE, and Irving combined. Look how aggressive he is. They need a player like him.

Totally agree,I think you can add LBJ into that mix atleast for 50 % of the time.He only plays hard when he feels like it and it is very rarely on the Defensive side.If he gets hit and doesn't draw a foul he stands there and complains hoping to cherry pick a Love outlet...Then watch how many times he switches on a pick n roll and leaves Thompson trying to cover a quard or small forward while he rotates to the corner to stand and watch.I think LBJ is most overrated defender in league,sure he can chase down someone and block their shot when they aren't expecting it but he can't keep a ballhandler in front of him,always reaches around trying to deflect pass or knock it away.This team won't win a title because it sucks on D and too much relying on the 3 ball despite having guys that can break down a defender.Drive to the hoop and draw fouls and then it will open everything else up and LBJ unwillingness to play from the low post is beyond me.

I'm not sure how people can say they suck on D when they're 2nd in team defense points per game lol

Their problem isn't their defense. Their problem is the offense and whatever the hell they're doing on it.

Their problem is they are a bunch of boofers who only care about their current status in the strip club. These boofers will never change

I would say JR Smith is likely the only one to fall in that category lol

But I'm not gonna defend this team as world beaters. They're a very soft team who needs about 3 Taj Gibsons. Someone who attacks with aggression and plays hard. Not some soft pussy out there just collecting a paycheck and relying on talent.

Blatt was hired before James came back and was going to coach a young team led by Irving and Wiggins....Once GM LeBron came back James orchestrated the Kevin Love for Wiggins trade and Blatt was coaching a veteran team instead of a young team..James ran Blatt out of town and his buddy Lue was hired...

I bet you would but the Bulls would not do that deal..Plus GM Lebron would not trade his buddy Love..After all he traded the #1 pick Wiggins for Love...:0002::0002

I know a lot of people love them some Wiggins, even a buddy of mine does. But I kind of think Wiggins is trending towards the Carmelo Anthony discussion.

Bulls wouldn't take Love. They would want draft picks I'm sure.

Pau is awful on D and Taj does alot of crying to the refs.

Kinda the grass is always greener idea

The Bulls want to get younger and play up tempo. You're high if you think they wouldn't want Love lol Especially with Rose coming off the books.
