I don't think the line needs to be moved back, but I agree with you that it would be nice to see more contact on defense. I bet if that was allowed it would reduce the number of threes.

So glad Fred is making sure Carter doesn't tire out those 19 year old legs.

Sent from my SM-G960U using RealGM mobile app

He should have been gone after 92 pts in a half
The fact he isn't gone, will only lead to the players continuing to quit and do their own thing on the court.

This is the time I wish we had Thibs. Not that think he'd do that much better but JFC I know he's going to rip these guys apart and practice is going to be grueling.

Saving him for the playoffs.

It takes a special kind of team to make Thon Maker look like a decent NBA player.

He certainly doesn’t say that, but he should be yelling, and demanding that they do, and let them know if they don’t, they can take several seats right next to him

We should put a Go Fund me for a a "Fire Fred" billboard next to the GarPax one.

Fred once again simply forgets that he has WCJ on the bench. He goes through stretches where it's pretty apparent that he's not playing towards any particular strategy, but he's just forgotten who he has on the bench. We need defensive stops, and we need our best defensive player out on the floor.

Yup it’s fkn ridiculous,this also pisses me off the most. Looks like they never practice defense.

Because Fred is an IDIOT

There’s no way his 19 year old body can play more than 26 mpg. Or he has to “earn it.” Or something.

Shaq plays with effort and contributes in a game that Archi is getting worked....

The coaching move to make?

Sit Shaq. Need Moar Archie!!!

Hutch does well defending Middleton and Giannis as well as helping on D, Holiday gets abused, doesn’t box out, doesn’t rotate..

The coaching move to make?

Hitch Hutch to the bench, Holiday!! celebrate!!

Bulls had competed in what, 7 straight (Denver through Dallas) and now a bad 16 minutes is fire the coach? I'm not saying Fred's doing some great job but I don't know that Fred is really the issue in this. These are professionals, you got to be professional.

It's just inexcusable to have Lopez in the game when we need defensive stops in the worst way. I really do think he just forgot about him

Threekola · Post #475 » by **Threekola** » Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:38 am

I can handle losing with a bunch of guys out, but the culture is becoming toxic, and that’s a big problem with the young guys. That’s why Hoiberg has to go ASAP.

Red8911 · Post #476 » by **Red8911** » Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:39 am

There you go Jabari had to get tech instead of Fred

DanTown8587 · Post #477 » by **DanTown8587** » Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:39 am

I don't come here a lot but you guys are so game-to-game with your rotations that you do it that way and you don't have a team in two weeks, especially one with this many inconsistent players.

He might be saying that, it's just the fact he probably sounds like ned flanders when he saying
