Beaten like hell but it's loving incredible that the Bulls hired Fred Hoiberg to run an up-tempo, perimeter-oriented offense and then gave him players like Rajon Rondo, Dwyane Wade, and Michael Carter-Williams to run it.

This might be a bigger mismatch between coaching philosophy and talent than Mike D'Antoni being hired to run a Lakers team featuring two All-Star low-post bigs.

I'm glad it took him a third of the season to realize "Oh wait, Felicio is good and should be closing out games over Porter"

A thing he did last season but forgot for some reason

Well, they hired D'Antoni to run a pick and roll based offense with bigs who were theoretically great at it. Except they weren't and Nash died

I think D'Antoni would've been a little better if he had full control of who gets minutes, because it was pretty obvious he was under mandate to start Dwight as much as possible, when Pau's pretty much everything he wants out of a center.

Sources have informed me that once he's healed up, Lance Stephenson has an open invite to join the two alphas as a third alpha.

Well that was the biggest problem: with the D'Antoni offense he could have either Howard or Gasol on the floor, but not both. Nash's back giving out certainly didn't help but having a system where Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard really couldn't co-exist without killing efficiency was a disaster.

Given the laws of the average foreign project big man, it's amazing that Giannis is even close to the player that he is now.

Idk if he's still involved but a year or two ago he was a Hornets ambassador so he and MJ are at least kind of cool after the "shoot it you ducking midget" incident. Or at least I like to think so.
