And except for those on the margins-the one or two best and one or two worst-they're actually pretty interchangeable. Did he get so dumb since then? It's a given in sports that coaches get too much credit when they win and too much blame when they lose. He got a standing ovation just coming to his seat and fans stopping by could barely speak or stop gazing at him.

No, actually, he handled the hero role well. I refrained from asking for an autograph, but I asked if he wanted mine. Unlike most NBA teams, the Bulls still sit most media at floor level, and Nagy happened to be sitting three or four seats from me. Is this the friendly Midwest I read about growing up in vulgar New York? I remember this Nagy guy coming to a Bulls game a few years ago. Fred Hoiberg went through it, also, as I know his son had to face Fire Hoiberg chants at his high school games. This thing with the Bears coach has been so bad I felt like I was in Philadelphia. As for the booing of coaches, enough already. I didn't know Billy's work well before this season because he always seemed to have players who were not so much immune to coaching but just who made sure you couldn't be a poor coach. You know what the chant would be at the next Bears home game. I'm still taking the over.Īnd imagine if the Bulls were to lose in Orlando on Friday. But the Bulls have been the better team most of the time this season, which is basically what this season was supposed to be about. So did some fortunate absences like LeBron in L.A. That first week of non-competitive opponents (see Bulls 2017-20) helped. It's actually been in the first quarter of this season a giant turnaround from non-competitive. I'm not suggesting merely being competitive is the goal or worthy of buying your No. Or just wait for the Bulls to fold at the end. Not a time to give your players some load management breaks. The Bulls seem at least back at that competing stage where they-and the opponents-believe it's a serious game now with the Bulls. Every team talks about culture, which really means winning, or at least competing seriously. But that's not bad in the sense-and I'm not trying to make it a low bar-but we were surprised and disappointed. Keep repeating, they're all NBA players, they're all NBA players. I'm not suggesting the blowout loss was good, and the Houston thing was almost shocking level.
