    In 2011 he was named the NBA Coach of the Year after leading the Bulls to a 62 win season. In 2012, he became the fastest coach in NBA history to earn 100 victories.

     

    He also went 15-7 this season without Derrick Rose.

     

    Regular season wins doesn't matter now, I think most people realize that.

     

    It's all about the Larry O'Brien trophy.

     

    And a Luol Deng at 100% is far better than Luol Deng at 60%.

     

    I also think that is the difference between Doc Rivers and Thibs. The former gives more rest to his starters during the regular season to allow for greater success down the road (they discovered Avery Bradley while doing so) while the latter sticks with whatever works (at least for now) and keep going with it till eventually, it doesn't work (i.e. against Miami last year).

     

    Then again, Thibs has only been here for almost two seasons, there is plenty of time for him to change.

  2. Only watched the first few minutes of the game...clearly it was not a good first game for D-Rose to go against a terrific perimeter defender like Shumpert.

     

    I still think the early leads established by the other team is really hurting the Bulls, hopefully they realize that.

     

    I hope Thibs rest Deng and give some minutes to Jimmy Butler for what hopefully be a few meaningless games at the end of the season, because while Luol is a warrior, no way can we progress in the playoffs with our best defender and arguably second option playing with 60% of his energy every game.
